Pygame Project: Create the simplest digital clock
We will use python datetime module for our clock; We get the current time and separate the time into hour minutes and second. First get the current time Get the time in hour, minute and second Now got our clock time components. It will be like this import datetime current_time = datetime.datetime.now() hour = current_time.hour […]
Simulate Bird Flocking Behavior with pygame: Algorithm and Code Explained
Bird flocking is a wonderful example of how simple behaviors can lead to complex, beautiful patterns in nature.

How to control music volume in pygame
Pygame includes a dedicated module, pygame.mixer.music, for managing background music playback within your games. The set_volume() Function: Your Primary Volume Control The pygame.mixer.music.set_volume() function serves as the central method for adjusting music volume. It accepts a floating-point value between 0.0 (representing silence) and 1.0 (representing maximum volume) to provide fine-grained control. We can set the […]
