Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python

June 13th, 2008

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python (or IYOCGwP “eye-yawk-gwip”) is a book (hopefully a series of books) that teaches Python game programming for kids in the 9 to 12 year old age range. Instead of teaching principles and concepts, each chapter has a complete example of a game and its source code up front, and then provides explanation for the code.

    Great Idea! I wish I’d thought of it! ;-)
    It’s been a long time since I was typing in those games from Creative Computing books. The dragon game reminds me of hunt the wumpus.
