How can game mode be incorporated into a python - pygame game?

edit

To incorporate game mode into a python-pygame game, you can follow the following steps:

1. Define a separate game mode function where all the game modes will be handled.

2. Create a game mode selection menu for the players to choose from.

3. Start the game with a default mode or a chosen mode by the player.

4. Based on the chosen mode, you can adjust the gameplay and difficulty level.

5. Add event listeners to modify the game mode during runtime.

Example code:

import pygame
import sys

# Define game mode functions
def easy_mode():
    # Adjust gameplay and difficulty level for easy mode
    pass

def medium_mode():
    # Adjust gameplay and difficulty level for medium mode
    pass

def hard_mode():
    # Adjust gameplay and difficulty level for hard mode
    pass

# Initialize pygame
pygame.init()

# Set up the game screen
size = (800, 600)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
pygame.display.set_caption("Game Mode Demo")

# Create game mode selection menu
menu_font = pygame.font.SysFont(None, 50)
easy_text = menu_font.render("Easy Mode", True, (255, 255, 255))
medium_text = menu_font.render("Medium Mode", True, (255, 255, 255))
hard_text = menu_font.render("Hard Mode", True, (255, 255, 255))
menu_items = [(easy_text, easy_mode), (medium_text, medium_mode), (hard_text, hard_mode)]

# Start the game in default mode
current_mode = easy_mode

# Start the game loop
while True:
    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

    # Draw game mode selection menu
    menu_y_offset = 50
    for item in menu_items:
        screen.blit(item[0], (100, menu_y_offset))
        menu_y_offset += 100

    # Handle events
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()
        elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            # Check for click on menu item
            mouse_position = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
            for item in menu_items:
                item_rect = item[0].get_rect()
                item_rect.topleft = (100, menu_y_offset)
                if item_rect.collidepoint(mouse_position):
                    # Change game mode
                    current_mode = item[1]

    # Call game mode function
    current_mode()

    # Update screen
    pygame.display.update()

In the above code, we have created game mode functions for easy, medium, and hard modes. Then we have created a game mode selection menu using Pygame's font module. We have also added event listeners to handle menu item clicks and changed the game mode based on the selected item. Finally, we have called the current game mode function inside the game loop to adjust the gameplay accordingly.
