Same as collect blocks example, but all the sprites move. (Chapter 14)

moving_sprites.py

Same as collect blocks example, but you can move the sprite by clicking to pick them up.

Rather than just move down, these sprites bounce.

moving_sprites_bounce.py

Prior example too boring? Get the sprites to move in circles.

Same as sprite_collect_blocks.py but with a black circle instead of a block. (Chapter 14)

sprite_collect_circle.py

Same as sprite_collect_blocks.py but with a graphic instead of a block. (Chapter 14)

sprite_collect_graphic.py

Same as sprite_collect_blocks.py but with a graphic instead of a block.

sprite_rotating.py

Same idea as sprite_collect_blocks.py but uses a Game class to organize the code. This is a more advanced way of organizing the code. It helps if you want to “restart” a game once it is over. (Chapter 14)
