# PyGame Python Examples
|
|
|
|
This folder contains simple examples of using PyGame in Python to create simple UI tools or "game like" programs.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequesits
|
|
|
|
* All of these projects require the PyGame module.
|
|
* In order to create stand alone executables the pyinstaller module is required.
|
|
* The pillow module may be used by pyinstaller, and is quite the handy image manipulation library.
|
|
|
|
Inside a terminal:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install pygame pyinstaller pillow
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## PyInstaller
|
|
|
|
Any programs set up to be able to use PyInstaller can be built to an EXE file using the provided `.spec` file. **DO NOT** use pyinstaller on a `.py` file directly unless you are creating a new `.spec` file. Doing so will overwrite the existing file.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
```bash
|
|
pyinstaller MyFile.spec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create two folders named `Build/` and `Dist/`. The `.EXE` file will be created inside the `Dist/` folder. The executable can be moved anywhere on the system and does not need Python to be installed in order to work. |
