Book Description

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python is a book that teaches you how to program computer games in the Python programming language. Each chapter gives you the complete source code for a new game, and then teaches the programming concepts from the example.

This book was written to be understandable by kids as young as 10 to 12 years old, although it is great for anyone of any age who has never programmed before. It is a book to teach computer programming to non-programmers by making simple (but fun) games.

This 3rd edition has revised and expanded content, including using the Pygame library to make games with graphics, animation, and sound.
