If not, do play this interesting game with the computer by building it on your own. So, let\u2019s not wait and create Tank Game using Python.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a Tank Game?<\/h3>\n<p>A tank game is a video game where a player plays with the computer and tries to reduce the power by attacking the opponent\u2019s tank by firing. Similarly, the computer tries to reduce the player&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<h3>Tank Game in Python<\/h3>\n<p>We build this game using the Pygame module. In this, the player uses the keyboard button to control the game as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right and left arrows to move the tank<\/li>\n<li>Up and down arrows to move the turret<\/li>\n<li>a and d keys to reduce and increase the power respectively<\/li>\n<li>Space to fire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Download Tank Game Code<\/h3>\n<p>Please download the source code for the tank game using the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1HETIZFqkaSfSINbjZHAYFzpCLqQ-p4Ia\/view?usp=drive_link\"><strong>Tank Game Project<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Project Prerequisites<\/h3>\n<p>The developers are expected to have prior knowledge of the Pygame module to build this project. You can also install this module using the below command.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pip install pygame<\/pre>\n<h3>Steps to build Python Tank Game<\/h3>\n<p>We follow the below steps to build the tank game using Pygame:<\/p>\n<p>1. First, we download modules<\/p>\n<p>2. Then we write the code to initiate the pygame and create global variables<\/p>\n<p>3. After this, we write functions to add information to screen<\/p>\n<p>4. Next, we create the button class<\/p>\n<p>5. Now we create the function to create the main window<\/p>\n<p>6. And then the controls window<\/p>\n<p>7. Now we create a function to create tank<\/p>\n<p>8. Next, we create the function to create the explosion<\/p>\n<p>9. Then we create a function to fire for both the players<\/p>\n<p>10. We now create the functions for game over and pause conditions<\/p>\n<p>11. Finally, we create the main window<\/p>\n<h3>1. Importing Python modules for Tank Game Project<\/h3>\n<p>First, we import the required modules. The pygame module is the main one that we use to build the game.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">import pygame\r\nimport time\r\nimport random\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>2. Initiating pygame and global variables<\/h3>\n<p>Now, we initiate the pygame module, set dimensions, and add the caption. We also create some global variables to set other dimensions for tank, turret, and base ground.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pygame.init()\r\n\r\nwidth = 800\r\nheight = 600\r\n\r\ngameWin = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))\r\npygame.display.set_caption('DataFlair Tanks Game')\r\nclock = pygame.time.Clock()\r\n\r\ntankWidth = 40\r\ntankHeight = 20\r\nturretWidth = 5\r\nwheelWidth = 5\r\ngroundHeight = 35\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>3. Function to show text on screen<\/h3>\n<p>This is a basic function we create to add any text on the screen of required properties at specified location. We create this to reduce the redundancy by using just a link to add text.<\/p>\n<p>The function textObjects() creates the font object of the specified attributes. And we use the show_message() function to add the text object to the window at specified location.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">def textObjects(text, color, size=\"small\"):\r\n    if size == \"vsmall\":\r\n        font=pygame.font.SysFont(\"Calibre\", 15)\r\n        textSurf = font.render(text, True, color)\r\n    if size == \"small\":\r\n        font=pygame.font.SysFont(\"Calibre\", 25)\r\n        textSurf = font.render(text, True, color)\r\n    if size == \"medium\":\r\n        font=pygame.font.SysFont(\"Calibre\", 35)\r\n        textSurf = font.render(text, True, color)\r\n    if size == \"large\":\r\n        font=pygame.font.SysFont(\"Calibre\", 50)\r\n        textSurf = font.render(text, True, color)\r\n    return textSurf, textSurf.get_rect()\r\n\r\ndef show_message(msg, color, y_displace=0, size=\"small\"):\r\n    textSurf, textRect = textObjects(msg, color, size)\r\n    textRect.center = (int(width \/ 2), int(height \/ 2) + y_displace)\r\n    gameWin.blit(textSurf, textRect)\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>4. Creating button class<\/h3>\n<p>We create a Button class to name the buttons, place them on screen based on the position given. And then run the click() function to execute the respective function based on the \u2018action\u2019 property of that button clicked by using the action property.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">class Button:\r\n    \"\"\"Create a button, then blit the surface in the while loop\"\"\"\r\n \r\n    def __init__(self, text,pos, font, bg=\"blue\"):\r\n        self.x, self.y = pos\r\n        self.font = pygame.font.SysFont(\"Arial\", font)\r\n        self.text=text\r\n        self.text = self.font.render(self.text, 1, pygame.Color(\"blue\"))\r\n        self.change_text(bg)\r\n \r\n    def change_text(self, bg=\"blue\"):\r\n        self.size = self.text.get_size()\r\n        self.surface = pygame.Surface(self.size)\r\n        self.surface.fill(bg)\r\n        self.surface.blit(self.text, (0, 0))\r\n        self.rect = pygame.Rect(self.x, self.y, self.size[0], self.size[1])\r\n       \r\n \r\n    def show(self):\r\n        gameWin.blit(self.text , (self.x, self.y))\r\n \r\n    def click(self, event,action):\r\n        x, y = pygame.mouse.get_pos()\r\n        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:\r\n            if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0]:\r\n                if self.rect.collidepoint(x, y):\r\n                    if action == \"quit\":\r\n                        pygame.quit()\r\n                        quit()\r\n\r\n                    if action == \"controls\":\r\n                        controlsWin()\r\n\r\n                    if action == \"play\":\r\n                        mainGame()\r\n\r\n                    if action == \"main\":\r\n                        mainWindow()\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>5. Creating main window function<\/h3>\n<p>Here, we create the main window with welcoming text and three buttons:<\/p>\n<p>a. \u2018Play\u2019 to start the game<\/p>\n<p>b. \u2018Controls\u2019 to see the guidelines<\/p>\n<p>c. \u2018Quit\u2019 to exit the game<\/p>\n<p>We create three button objects for the above actions.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">def mainWindow ():\r\n    button1 = Button(\"Play\", (350, 350),  font=30)\r\n\r\n    button2 = Button(\"Controls\", (350, 430), font=30)\r\n\r\n    button3 = Button(\"Quit\", (350, 510), font=30)\r\n   \r\n\r\n    while True:\r\n        gameWin.fill('#ffffff')\r\n        Green = (0, 255, 0)\r\n        show_message(\"DataFlair Tank Game\", '#000000', -200, size=\"large\")\r\n        show_message(\"Welcome to the game!\", 'red', -100, size=\"medium\")\r\n        show_message(\"Choose any of the following to move forward\", 'red', -50, size=\"medium\")\r\n        for event in pygame.event.get():\r\n            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:\r\n                pygame.quit()\r\n            button1.click(event,'play')\r\n            button2.click(event,'controls')\r\n            button3.click(event,'quit')\r\n        button1.show()\r\n        button2.show()\r\n        button3.show()\r\n   \r\n        clock.tick(30)\r\n        pygame.display.update()\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>6. Creating controls window function<\/h3>\n<p>Using controlsWin() function, we create the controls window with welcoming text and three buttons:<\/p>\n<p>d. \u2018Play\u2019 to start the game<\/p>\n<p>e. \u2018Main\u2019 to go to to main window<\/p>\n<p>f. \u2018Quit\u2019 to exit the game<\/p>\n<p>We create three button objects for the above actions<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">def controlsWin():\r\n   \r\n    button1 = Button(\"Play\", (150, 500),  font=30)\r\n\r\n    button2 = Button(\"Main\", (350, 500), font=30)\r\n\r\n    button3 = Button(\"Quit\", (550, 500), font=30)\r\n   \r\n\r\n    while True:\r\n        gameWin.fill('#ffffff')\r\n        Green = (0, 255, 0)\r\n        show_message(\"DataFlair Tank Game\", '#000000', -200, size=\"large\")\r\n        show_message(\"Here are the instructions to play:\", 'red', -100, size=\"medium\")\r\n        show_message(\"The objective is to shoot and destroy the enemy tank before they destroy you.\", Green, -30)\r\n        show_message(\"Fire using the Spacebar\", 'gray', 0)\r\n        show_message(\"Move Turret using the Up and Down arrows\", Green, 30)\r\n        show_message(\"Move Tank using the  Left and Right arrows\", 'gray', 60)\r\n        show_message(\"Press D to raise Power AND Press A to reduce Power \", Green, 90)\r\n        show_message(\"Finally press P to pause\", 'gray', 120)\r\n        for event in pygame.event.get():\r\n            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:\r\n                pygame.quit()\r\n            button1.click(event,'play')\r\n            button2.click(event,'main')\r\n            button3.click(event,'quit')\r\n        button1.show()\r\n        button2.show()\r\n        button3.show()\r\n   \r\n        clock.tick(30)\r\n        pygame.display.update()\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>7.
