This is a simple game intended to be used as a tutorial on building a client-server RPG-style game with Pygame, and will be more generally usable as a programming, game development, and Activity development tutorial as we work on it further. The target audience is new developers 12 and up.

  1. download the code
  2. unzip the package
  3. run server.py (it will continue running - don't stop it!)
  4. while the server code is running, run client_working.py
  5. use the arrow keys to move

From the terminal of a Linux machine...
