Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python will teach you how to make computer games using the popular Python programming language—even if you’ve never programmed before! Begin by building classic games like Hangman, Guess the Number, and Tic-Tac-Toe, and then work your way up to more advanced games, like a text-based treasure hunting game and an animated collision-dodging game with sound effects. Along the way, you’ll learn key programming and math concepts that will help you take your game programming to the next level. Learn how to: –Combine loops, variables, and flow control statements into real working programs –Choose the right data structures for the job, such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples –Add graphics and animation to your games with the pygame module –Handle keyboard and mouse input –Program simple artificial intelligence so you can play against the computer –Use cryptography to convert text messages into secret code –Debug your programs and find common errors As you work through each game, you’ll build a solid foundation in Python and an understanding of computer science fundamentals. What new game will you create with the power of Python? The projects in this book are compatible with Python 3. Review: Worthy buy - Bought this for my son who is in high school. Good to see him stuck to this book and coding on his own. Python is crucial in today’s context and hopefully his love for code grows further. Partly thanks to this book which teaches via a game-like narration. Review: After completing this book - Its a great book for those who want to make their carrrier in gaming . Its a first step towards game development , today i had completed the very last chapter of the book and get a clear cut idea about how the backend of the game works. A must buy book for beginners who want to make their carrier in programming or developing mini games.

Bien para empezar
Quizás hecho en falta más programas con entorno gráfico.Al final trata sobre pygame. Por lo demás muestra los programas de forma didáctica y amena

Extremely useful and much much better than all the others I have tried. It is carefully arranged so that progression and additions to any initial code can be clearly followed - simply by numbering lines of code and using bold print. This makes it SO much better other books that claim to be for beginners. One drawback that it does share with its competitors is the absence of a distinct and obviously different font for code words and lines of code. As printed, the difference is too slight unless concentration is high. However I still rate it very highly.

Interest is the best teacher.
Interest is the best teacher. That is why I choose this book to teach my sons Python. The book is well written. My teenage son followed it to learn Python and build a few games in Python. I will guide my son to continue to learn Python with the book as a reference. I highly recommend it for kids and interested adults to learn programming in Python.
