How to Play
Rhodium Games are absolutely free games that can be enjoyed by anyone. Most of them only use mouse and keyboard controls, but some have extra joystick compatibility.
The Multiple Downloads
Each game normally comes with three downloads:
- EXE downloads are the fastest way to play a game if you use Windows.
- miniSource downloads are small and are easiest to use for just playing the game. They require that you download several other things (see Alternative OS Users section).
- Source downloads contain everything used to make the game. This means they have not just Python code with PyGame imports, but FL Studio sound creation files, Paint.NET image creation files, Blender 3D models, prerendering graphics programs, premodified recorded vocals, and helpful notes. You can use any of the assets included in these games for your own projects, as long as you contact me first.
Permit me one plea: TRY DOWNLOADING PYTHON AND PYGAME. It's possible to play games with just the EXE, but they often have larger downloads and slower running. Downloading PyGame will allow you to play a whole array of games featured here.
Playing the Games
Using EXEs
- Go to a game's page and choose the EXE download.
- Save the ZIP file to somewhere on your computer.
- Extract the ZIP file so that it's a normal folder.
- Look inside the folder and double-click on the file 'Main.exe'
- You may get a security warning; ignore it. If you still feel unsafe, feel free to run a virus scan on the folder.
Unfortunately, as of now some games do not have an EXE download.
They can be played using the Python instructions.
Using Python
- Install Python.
- Install PyGame.
- Install any other dependencies listed on the page.
- Go to a game's page and choose the miniSource or Source download.
- Save the ZIP file to somewhere on your computer.
- Extract the ZIP file so that it's a normal folder.
- Open up IDLE or whatever your Python program is.
- Use File->Open and navigate to 'main.py'
- Run the file. In IDLE this is done by pressing F5.
Elsewhere
You can also look at some Rhodium Games on the PyGame site, Softpedia, and Game Jolt. However, the downloads may not be up-to-date.
