Idego Talks #1 - Programming Game in Python
By Idego Group
The first webinar of Idego Talks series focused on an engaging topic: "How to build ships and conquer planets - all in Python!"
Programming games represent video games that incorporate computer programming elements, specifically Python in this case. These games offer an entertaining approach to demonstrating algorithms, exploring different problem-solving strategies, and providing tools for algorithm visualization.
In the game Pythonium, each player commands an alien race attempting to dominate the galaxy. Players must explore planets to locate and extract pythonium, a valuable mineral resource. This precious material enables players to construct spaceships and mining facilities to obtain additional pythonium supplies.
The core gameplay loop involves managing your civilization's economy, collecting taxes, maintaining population happiness, constructing spacecraft, and conquering new planets - all accomplished through Python programming.
Bruno Geninatti, an experienced backend developer who joined Idego in 2020, presented this webinar to a wider audience. A recording of the presentation became available on the company's channel for those interested in learning more about this innovative approach to game development and Python programming education.
