Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python 4th Edition

<i>Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python</i> will teach you how to make computer games using the popular Python programming language--even if you've never programmed before! <p/>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. <p/>Learn how to: <br>-Combine loops variables and flow control statements into real working programs<br>-Choose the right data structures for the job such as lists dictionaries and tuples<br>-Add graphics and animation to your games with the pygame module<br>-Handle keyboard and mouse input<br>-Program simple artificial intelligence so you can play against the computer<br>-Use cryptography to convert text messages into secret code<br>-Debug your programs and find common errors <p/>As you work through each game you'll build a solid foundation in Python and an understanding of computer science fundamentals. <p/>What new game will you create with the power of Python? <p/>The projects in this book are compatible with Python 3.
