Want to make your own games? Start here.

Python Through Games teaches you Python, one of the world's most popular programming languages, by building real games you can play. No coding experience is needed. Every chapter ends with a complete project, and you type it in, run it, break it, fix it, and make it your own.

What you'll build:

• A choose-your-own-adventure story with six endings


• A number guessing game


• An inventory and shop system


• A dice-battle game and Rock, Paper, Scissors


• A push-your-luck game with a saved leaderboard


• A monster-fighting RPG with leveling


• The classic game Snake, with real graphics


• Your own original text adventure

Inside this book:

• 12 chapters that build one skill at a time: variables, decisions, loops, lists, functions, files, and classes


• 12 complete projects with full code and "How It Works" explanations


• 55 practice challenges, from easy to hard


• A debugging chapter that turns error messages into friends


• 15 more project ideas, a Python cheat sheet, and a glossary

Perfect for teens and students who have never written a line of code, and for anyone who learns best by making things. All you need is a computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and free software. The book shows you how to set it up.
