Python is a versatile language that can be used for many types of applications, including point and click adventure games. In this technical blog, we’ll explore how to create the framework for a point and click adventure game in Python.

Setting up the Environment

Before we start coding, we need to set up our development environment. We’ll need to install Python, a code editor or IDE, and any necessary libraries. For this tutorial, we’ll be using Python 3 and the Pygame library for graphics and audio.

To install Python, go to the official Python website and download the latest version for your operating system. Once you’ve installed Python, you can install Pygame using pip:

pip install pygame

Next, we’ll create a new Python file in our code editor and import the necessary libraries:

import pygame
import sys

Initializing Pygame

The first step in creating a Pygame-based game is to initialize the library:

pygame.init()

# Set the size of the game window
WINDOW_SIZE = (800, 600)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(WINDOW_SIZE)
# Set the title of the…
