1. Obtaining PGE

• pge is installed in the j109 labs
• however you will need to download the source for PGE

• $ cd
  $ mkdir -p Sandpit
  $ cd Sandpit
  $ git clone https://github.com/gaiusm/pge

2. Building PGE

• you can build a local copy by:

• $ cd
  $ mkdir -p Sandpit
  $ cd Sandpit
  $ rm -rf build-pge
  $ mkdir build-pge
  $ cd build-pge
  $ ../pge/configure --prefix=$HOME/opt --enable-langc
  $ make

3. Testing your local copy of PGE

• $ cd
  $ cd Sandpit/build-pge
  $ ./localrun.sh ../pge/examples/springs/bridge.py

• edit the file ../pge/examples/springs/bridge.py to enable the second gold ball to be dropped at .5 second in the future
  • (hint you need to uncomment the relevant line)
• rerun the code and observe the behaviour of pge
  

4. Building comments

• notice how we configure pge with some options
• notice how we ran a local version of pge
  • the script localrun.sh will look for your version before looking for the system copy of pge

5. Tutorial week 1

• using the examples in the pge directory examples/trapped/trapped.py and examples/springs/bridge.py develop a tiny platform game which utilises a spring
• perhaps use the trapped ramps and make a game similar to marble madness
  • where the user needs to direct the marble to a goal avoiding various obstacles
