python to make this:

[1832vin]

here's a clip:

i'm familiar with programming, can't say expert, or good at it...

learning python

any tutorials for how to make games as simple as this?

only one command, auto-regenerate (the pipes) auto scrool, gravity...... etc.

First, it's not that simple.

Second, learn basic Python. It'll help a lot. The Python tutorial is a good place to start: http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/

Third, pygame is probably the library you're looking for to create simple 2D games. You'll need to do quite a bit of the work yourself (specifically graphical stuff), and then take advantage of any of the library tools to do the coding. Once you've learned Python, learn pygame: http://pygame.org/news.html

 

That should get you started. 

 

There are many other Game development modules/libraries for Python: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonGameLibraries

It gets easier once you make your first game though.

I was mostly referring to: "only one command, auto-regenerate (the pipes) auto scrool, gravity...... etc."

But yes, once you have a working framework for a basic game, it can be adapted to other games as well, making the process easier the second time.

I'd recommend not using the python 2 tutorial and going straight to version 3 of the python language; why learn something old when you can learn it's replacement?

 

But yeah, the game would probably be achievable using a library like PyGame once you get used to the Python language itself.

Actually, it's better to learn both. Large number of 3rd party modules are made for Python 2 that have yet to support Python 3. Non-issue though, as Pygame supports Python 3.

By all means, I would agree to keep mindful of the incompatibilities between the two versions, but I would always recommend picking up the newer version for future-proofing. I think most libraries are catching up on version 3 now.

Python 3 is not the future or "FUTURE PROOF" and all the stuff it does can be done in python 2 as for the libraries most of them are compatible with both or can be made compatible by various means .

Well, it kind of is the future, given that Python 2.7 is the final release of version 2 of Python.. so yeah. By future-proof I simply meant not having to learn Python 2 and then when the vast majority of developers leave it behind in favour of supported version that will continue to receive updates, being stuck with a less favourable version of the language.

Meh it's not that simple considering that the original developer himself failed to use realistic physics, joking actually it's not hard at all to develop a game like that especially if you create it in java.

I know that op's request to make it in python but since python is generally a simpler language to learn it shouldn't be any harder.
