Making games with Python & Pygame : a guide to programming with graphics, animation, and sound

Making Games with Python & Pygame is a programming book that covers the Pygame game library for the Python programming language. Each chapter gives you the complete source code for a new game and teaches the programming concepts from these examples. The book is available under a Creative Commons license and can be downloaded in full for free from http://inventwithpython.com/pygame 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 some familiarity with Python. [(Source)][1] [1]: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1469901730 This book will teach you how to make graphical computer games in the Python programming language using the Pygame library.This book assumes you know a little bit about Python or programming in general. If you don't know how to program, you can learn by downloading the free book "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" from http://inventwithpython.com. Or you can jump right into this book and mostly pick it up along the way. This book is for the intermediate programmer who has learned what variables and loops are, but now wants to know, "What do actual game programs look like?" There was a long gap after I first learned programming but didn't really know how to use that skill to make something cool. It's my hope that the games in this book will give you enough ideas about how programs work to provide a foundation to implement your own games Making Games with Python & Pygame is a programming book that covers the Pygame game library for the Python programming language.
