4.8 Conclusion

Hopefully, all of this code didn’t overwhelm you. These are the key takeaways from this lesson:

• Encapsulate game objects. You can do this by creating a base class that handles the common methods (in our case, the draw, move, and check_collision methods) and then having the specific objects inherit from the base class
• Set a clear structure for how your game class will run its main loop. This helps break down the challenge of making a game into easier tasks. (In our example, we broke down the main loop into check_events, check_collisions, move_objects, and update_display)
