Breaking into the industry: My journey to becoming a Software Engineer #3 — Nostalgic Games made in Python
If you ask me 20 years ago if I could make the infamous Snake game, I’d probably look at you like this 🤨 and say, “That is impossible.”
Well, let me tell you. Owning a Nokia cellphone in the early 2000s is comparable to owning any Supreme Box Logo items (whether you paid at retail price or reseller price). It does not matter how you got it, but what matters is OWNING one. People were glued to their cellphones not because they were on social media apps or texting, but they were actually playing the Snake Game. I am guilty of that.
Now fast forward 20 years later when I found out that one of the projects that I will be working on is re-creating the Snake Game. My first initial thought was, “No way! Let’s do this!” 20 years difference, and I would have never imagined that I would be equipped and capable of recreating my favorite childhood game.
I also re-created the Classic Pong Game and Brick Game. I re-created these nostalgic games using the Turtle module. Check out the screenshots below to show you little snippets and click on the name game to take you to the written code from my Github profile:
