1 00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:02,430 The first challenge is pretty simple. 2 00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:04,740 We're just going to create the starting screen. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,160 It's going to be a screen that has a height of 600 pixels and a width of 800 4 00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:14,880 pixels. It should be black in terms of the background color, 5 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,510 and it should stay on the screen until we click on it. 6 00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:20,790 So using what you've learned so far, 7 00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:24,000 go ahead and set up the starting code for our project. 8 00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:31,520 All right. So I've created a brand new project which I've called pong-game, 9 00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,580 and I've created a main.py. Now, 10 00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:39,610 the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to import a screen from the turtle 11 00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:40,663 module. 12 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:46,790 And then I'm going to create a screen object from the Screen class, 13 00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:50,780 and then I'm going to set the background color to black. 14 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,560 And then, of course, we'll need to set up the screen so that it has a width of 15 00:00:57,650 --> 00:01:02,180 800 and a height of 600. 16 00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:07,090 So now if I run this code as it is, 17 00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:13,940 you'll see that it flashes up and it disappears. 18 00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:17,030 So of course we need that exitonclick method. 19 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:21,140 As well as a final finishing touch, this is completely optional 20 00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:23,630 but it helps to identify the program, 21 00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:27,800 we can change the screens title to say Pong. 22 00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:33,320 And now when I run the code, you can see that this window now says pong. 23 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,150 So we now have our 800 by 600 screen, 24 00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:43,040 and we're now ready to head to the next step where we create our paddles.
