Build Maze Game Using Pygame

Beginner

In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to build an exciting maze game from scratch using the Python programming language and the powerful Pygame library. Through step-by-step guidance, you'll dive into various aspects of game development, including setting up the game environment, creating the maze and adding food items, implementing player movement and collision detection, handling game logic such as scoring and end conditions, saving and retrieving high scores, and displaying game statistics on the screen.
