Program a graphical adventure game in this hands-on, beginner-friendly introduction to coding in the Python language.
Launch into coding with Mission Python , a space-themed guide to building a complete computer game in Python.
You'll learn programming fundamentals like loops, strings, and lists as you build Escape , an exciting game with a map to explore, items to collect, and tricky logic puzzles to solve.
As you work through the book, you'll build exercises and mini-projects, like making a spacewalk simulator and creating an astronaut's safety checklist that will put your new Python skills to the test.
You'll learn how to use Pygame Zero, a free resource that lets you add graphics and sound effects to your creations, and you'll get useful game-making tips, such as how to design fun puzzles and intriguing maps.
Before you know it, you'll have a working, awesome game to stump your friends with (and some nifty coding skills, too ).
You can follow this book using a Raspberry Pi or a Microsoft Windows PC, and the 3D graphics and sound effects you need are provided as a download.
