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.
