Set time as…

Arkanoid. Fresh outta the 80s.

So I coded away and felt joy and satisfaction as I quickly implemented a sprite sheet loader, platform movement, block an…

Thanks to the Pygame library we installed in the previous post, we can draw 2D graphics. In this post, I propose to introduce controls with the keyboard as well as some improvements like window centering and frame rate handling.
