tilegamelib helps create mini-games that have graphics consisting of square-shaped tiles (think Sokoban, Pacman, Tetris, Atomix and their countless siblings).

It is assumed that you have Python 3.6 or higher. The instructions here work for Linux and Windows. I have no idea how pygame works on MacOS.

Follow the documentation of the arcade library (requires C libraries, pip might not handle this).

Next, install tilegamelib:

pip install tilegamelib

Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the directory in which this README file is.

Alternatively, you can try a local installation using pip:

pip install --editable .

Run the programs in the tilegamelib.games package. They have a command-line script:

sliding_puzzle
collect_fruit
boxes
snake
pac

See the Beginners Guide

cd test
python test_all.py
