In this video we walk through building a simple game using the python programming language. This is a great exercise to apply your python skills in a fun way. We use the pygame library in this video. A video outline will be posted in the comment section. If you want to review any of the topics covered in this video, there are links below to all of my python tutorial videos.

If you are curious about implementing additional features to this game, leave a comment down below!
