• Installed Pygame That's it

The main file, alien_invasion.py, contains the AlienInvasion class. This class creates a number of important attributes used throughout the game: the settings are assigned to settings, the main display surface is assigned to screen, and a ship instance is created in this file as well. The main loop of the game, a while loop, is also stored in this module. The while loop calls _check_events(), ship.update(), and _update_screen(). The _check_events() method detects relevant events, such as key presses and releases, and processes each of these types of events through the methods _check_keydown_events() and _check_keyup_events(). The AlienInvasion class also contains _update_screen(), which redraws the screen on each pass through the main loop. The alien_invasion.py file is the only file you need to run when you want to play Alien Invasion. The other files—settings.py and ship.py—contain code that is imported into this file.

The settings.py file contains the Settings class. This class only has an init() method, which initializes attributes controlling the game’s appearance and the ship’s speed.

The ship.py file contains the Ship class. The Ship class has an init() method, an update() method to manage the ship’s position, and a blitme() method to draw the ship to the screen. The image of the ship is stored in ship.bmp, which is in the images folder.
