In Detail
Looking for proposal to your subsequent Raspberry Pi venture? unsure the place to start? This studying course is the precise start line, giving you an obtainable but accomplished trip via Raspberry Pi. Following 3 modules, you will soon be convinced and ready to get artistic along with your microcomputer.
Raspberry Pi through instance is the 1st module during this studying course – and it does precisely what it says. It does not simply educate, it indicates you ways to head and construct a few amazing Raspberry Pi initiatives instantly. construct and play your individual video games with the Pi, construct a whole web of items domestic automation approach that controls your home via Twitter... permit your mind's eye run wild!
In the following module we will glance in additional intensity at construction a house safety procedure. you can be utilizing a number of the abilities you devoped throughout the first module, yet practice them to anything extra tricky and bold. utilizing a Linux established working method because the foundations, you will steadily increase a whole defense infrastructure including cameras, distant controls, or even intrusion alerts!
In the ultimate module, we will take you into the area of Raspberry Pi robotics. through the top of it, you should have equipped a biped robotic which may have interaction with its environment!
This studying course combines the very best that Packt has to supply in a single whole, curated package deal. It comprises content material from the subsequent Packt products:
- Raspberry Pi via instance by way of Ashwin Pajankar and Arush Kakkar
- Building a house safety process with Raspberry Pi via Matthew Pole
- Raspberry Pi Robotics necessities via Richard Grimmett
Style and approach
It's no longer on a daily basis you construct a house automation approach. it isn't each day you construct a strolling robotic. yet with this studying direction you will do exactly that. So start and permit this tiny laptop extend your imagination.

The following diagram visually shows what such a fractal tree might look like: [ 49 ] Building Games with PyGame Now, let's move on to the code and take a look at how such a fractal tree can be constructed with PyGame. py You will now get the following output: If you increase the depth by 2 with a slight increase in the canvas area, the fractal tree now looks like this: [ 51 ] Building Games with PyGame The new tree looks considerably denser and more branched out than the original tree. Now, since you know what the output looks like, let's grab our magnifying glasses and sift through the program to understand how it works!
Finally, with exit(0), Python also quits and closes the application. As we are randomizing the length and the angle every time the function calls itself, no two branches will be exactly the same, giving it the appearance of the irregularity of real-life trees. By induction, no two trees will be same. You can modify parts of this code to see for yourself how the tree behavior changes on changing a few variables, such as theta and depth. Now that we have completed all the basics of PyGame and can implement fairly complex problems, we are now ready to move on to a real challenge: making an actual game.
Originally written by Pete Shinners, it is a community project from 2004 and is released under the open source free software GNU's lesser general public license. Since it is very simple to use and is open source, it has a lot of members in the international community and so it enjoys access to a lot of resources that other libraries may lack. There are many tutorials that can build different games with PyGame. org. Installing PyGame PyGame usually comes installed with the latest Raspbian distribution, but if it isn't you can use the following command to install it: sudo apt-get install python-pygame [ 48 ] Chapter 3 Test your installation by opening a Python terminal by entering python in a regular terminal and pressing Enter.
