Invent Your Own Computer Games With Python, 4e

Extremely useful and much much better than all the others I have tried. It is carefully arranged so that progression and additions to any initial code can be clearly followed - simply by numbering lines of code and using bold print. This makes it SO much better other books that claim to be for beginners. One drawback that it does share with its competitors is the absence of a distinct and obviously different font for code words and lines of code. As printed, the difference is too slight unless concentration is high. However I still rate it very highly.

Great book. It was the first book I brought to learn Python. It does the job well but for me I ended up progressing through the book Python Crash Course at the same time at equal pace. This is because the way my mind works, I kept wanting to adapt the programs, making them more complicated to test how I understood concepts and found that the things I wanted the programs to do to weren’t sometimes covered till later in the book or not at all but working through both the books solved most of this for me. I will just say about all the complaints about the binding. The reason it is breaking is because the spine of the books are not glued to the cover. For me this was great because I hate creasing the spine of the cover and the way I read books in order to stop this happening works really well with the cover of the book for me and I love the way they are bound because it makes the job of keeping them in undamaged condition so much easier as can hold the book in one hand to work instead of needing to to achieve no damage. It will very quickly break though if like most people probably do flatten the book out on a table/bend it back to keep it open.

A good book in the series but I do like the style more in "automate the boring stuff " and "python crash course" more, but you still learn a lot of good stuff

Bought this as one of a bunch of books to give ideas to my A Level students (working on some rather more complex game ideas!) - think this is something they'll get inspiration from - certainly giving me teaching ideas for other atudents and pupils, also. Some slightly complex stuff, but very nicely explained.

This book is amazing for every beginner in Python. Shows how to make from simple games to advance games and explain every line of code what it means. Absolutely recommend this book.

Explains everything really clearly and is excellent for helping understand what you're doing! The 'code checking' facility has come in useful too.

Love this book and his other one Automate the Boring Stuff! Definitely recommend!

"Nice layout and content however be warned, a number of text errors that need cross referencing on their website"

Quizás hecho en falta más programas con entorno gráfico.Al final trata sobre pygame. Por lo demás muestra los programas de forma didáctica y amena

This book is a fun way to learn Python programming by teaching the language elements by writing games. From simple statements, using the debugger, designing programs logically with flowcharts, processing a main event loop, to incorporating player-missile graphics and sound, this books provides a good introduction to Python by building games and providing insights into how to build your own games.

Bought this for my son who is in high school. Good to see him stuck to this book and coding on his own. Python is crucial in today’s context and hopefully his love for code grows further. Partly thanks to this book which teaches via a game-like narration.

Got here on time and in good condition. Looking forward to reading it.

I had an excellent experience with Rarewaves-USA; they shipped my order promptly and everything arrived in perfect condition. The book "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" is fantastic. The quality of the book exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled with my purchase. It really doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommend both the seller and the book to anyone interested in programming or game development. Truly a great find!
