Run a Simple PyGame program to any Browser

 Pygbag is a project that allows you to run Pygame-based Python games in the browser. It converts your Pygame projects into WebAssembly, enabling them to run in modern web browsers. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a simple Pygame project and use Pygbag to run it in the browser:

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Pygame Project with Pygbag

1. Install Pygame:

    Make sure you have Pygame installed on your system.

pip install pygame

2.  Create a Simple Pygame Project:

     Create a directory for your project and add a simple Pygame script.

    Here’s an example main.py script:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48

import asyncio import pygame import sys # Initialize Pygame pygame.init() # Set up the display size = width, height = 800, 600 screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size) pygame.display.set_caption("Pygbag Example") # Set up colors black = (0, 0, 0) blue = (0, 0, 255) # Set up the ball ball = pygame.image.load("ball.png") ballrect = ball.get_rect() # Set up ball speed speed = [2, 2] async def main(): global ballrect # Explicitly declare ballrect as global to modify it within the function while True: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: pygame.quit() sys.exit() elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE: pygame.quit() sys.exit() ballrect = ballrect.move(speed) if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width: speed[0] = -speed[0] if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height: speed[1] = -speed[1] screen.fill(black) screen.blit(ball, ballrect) pygame.display.update() await asyncio.sleep(0) # Yield control to the event loop asyncio.run(main())

    Make sure you have an image named ball.png in the same directory as your main.py script.

3.  Install Pygbag:

    Install Pygbag using pip.

pip install pygbag

4. Run Pygbag to Package Your Game:

    Use Pygbag to package your game and run it in the browser.

pygbag <my_pygame_project>

5.  Open the Game in Your Browser:

    After running the above command, Pygbag will start a local web server and provide a URL(http://localhost:8000/). Open this URL in your web browser to play your game.

By following these steps, you can create a simple Pygame project and use Pygbag to run it in any web browser. This allows you to leverage Pygame’s capabilities while making your game accessible on the web.
