Description
Launch into coding with Mission Python, a beginner-friendly 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 space-themed adventure game. As you work through the book, you'll build exercises and mini-projects, such as making a spacewalk simulator and creating an astronaut's safety checklist. You'll also learn how to use Pygame Zero, a free resource that lets you add graphics and sound effects to your creations. Before long, you'll have a working game to share with friends. You can follow along using a Raspberry Pi or a Microsoft Windows PC, and the 3D graphics and sound effects needed are provided as a download.
