Game Setup :BounceMania: A Pygame Ball Adventure

1. Modularization:

  • game_setup.py: Contains code for initializing Pygame, setting up the game window, and defining constants.
  • main_menu.py: Handles the main menu functionality, including displaying instructions and starting the game.
  • game_loop.py: Implements the main game loop, including event handling, updating ball positions, and checking win conditions.
  • ball.py: Defines the Ball class with properties and methods for drawing balls and handling their behavior.
  • text_rendering.py: Provides functions for rendering text on the screen.
  • restart_button.py: Manages the restart button functionality.
  • utils.py: Contains utility functions used across multiple modules, such as distance calculation and color selection.

2. Functions:

  • Each module contains functions with specific purposes, such as initialize_game(), draw_instructions(), handle_events(), update_balls(), render_text(), draw_restart_button(), etc.

3. Classes:

  • The Ball class encapsulates properties and methods related to individual balls, such as position, velocity, color, and drawing functionality.

4. Event-Driven Programming:

  • Event handlers in game_loop.py respond to user input events, such as mouse clicks, and system events, such as quitting the game.

5. Comments and Documentation:

  • Descriptive comments are added throughout the code to explain the purpose of functions, methods, and classes.
  • Comprehensive documentation is provided in a separate README file, including an overview of the project, code structure, function descriptions, and usage examples.

6. Code Structure:

  • The code follows a clear and consistent structure, starting with imports and constants, followed by function and class definitions.
  • Related functions and methods are grouped together, and whitespace or comments are used to separate different sections of the code.
