Part B

1. Describe the basic structure of a Pygame program, including the initialization, game loop, event
handling, and rendering stages.
2. Discuss the role of assets in game development and explain how images, sounds, and fonts are managed
and used in Pygame projects.
3. Explain the concept of collision detection in games and how it is implemented in Pygame, including
methods for detecting collisions between sprites and handling collision responses.
4. Develop a step-by-step guide for creating a basic 2D platformer game using Pygame, covering aspects
such as player movement, collision detection, level design, and scoring.
5. Elaborate on the development process of a 3D interactive game using Pygame, covering aspects such as
graphics programming, asset creation, input handling, and gameplay mechanics.
6. Describe the process of creating an avatar customization system in Pygame, including the interface
design and implementation details.
7. Compare and contrast 2D and 3D graphics programming in Pygame, discussing their respective
advantages, limitations, and performance considerations.
8. Discuss the significance of incorporating music and sound effects into games, and provide a step-by-step
guide on how to integrate them into a Pygame project, including resource management and dynamic
playback during gameplay.
9. Analyze the challenges and solutions related to incorporating game physics algorithms in Pygame, with
a focus on collision detection, object interaction, and realistic movement simulation.
