I began reading this book in order to dive into the python language. I took a few computer science classes in high school so I have some basic logic of programming but most of that was using Visual Basic. I have been intimated for quite some time about learning a powerful programming language but I am happy I took the plunge and began reading this book.The author’s style of writing matched up well with the way that I learn, breaking things down into easy to understand ideas and concepts. The book isn’t heavy on memorizing syntax like many others but allows the reader to develop their own understanding of the python language.It is my goal to produce my own game using Python and after reading this I honestly feel much closer to attaining that goal that I ever have before. While I have ideas and concepts for a game this book is giving me the skills and toolset in order to realize them.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in starting to program or diving into python. The reading level should be understandable to anyone, even those young aspiring programmers out there. I’m excited about what I will producing over the next few months thanks to this book.
I felt this was a clear and well structured book to learn Python for beginners. I have knowledge of many of programming languages and was able to pick up on Python quickly with the use of game development in this book. I believe newcomers to the programming world will also be able pick up Python also with this.I enjoyed the slow rise in complexity with each game given as each new addition of code was explained line for line and tweaks could easily be made to create variations of each game, for example I managed the created a 4 Digit Guessing game from the number guessing game :)I wish more programming books used game creation as their means to learn programming as it is extremely rewarding to interact with what you have created and to show it to your friends.While I believe some exercises would have been a nice addition at the end of each chapter I still think once the book is completed there are tons of posible game creations possible for the reader and the challenge is the replicate what is learned from memory.I am thoroughly looking forward to moving on to the next Edition “Making Games with Python & Pygame”.Highly Recommend!
I have to admit, first off, that I am not exactly the book’s target demographic, since I’m older and have some programming experience. Nevertheless, this book has been an invaluable resource in transitioning from other languages (Java and C++, in my case) to python. Other introductory programming books have the tendency to read like a list of language keywords, which is about as efficacious as trying to learn English by reading the dictionary. What makes this book stand out is that each chapter starts with a fully-functioning program and a description of what that program does. Further, these programs are available for download on the author’s website, which lets you tinker around a bit to get the hang of python syntax. Directly after the program is a near line-by-line commentary, explaining the meaning and context of individual lines of code (which, admittedly, I either briefly skimmed or skipped over completely).My only gripes with the book are that it doesn’t cover object-oriented python (which I suppose makes sense — my first programming class didn’t cover OO concepts, either), and that pygame, the gaming module introduced in the final 3 or 4 chapters, is a pain to install on a Mac. As a result, I couldn’t get the last two programs up-and-running on my machine.In summary: a fantastic read for both the beginner programmer and the beginner python user alike.
This was a gift for my college student child, and she really liked it.I do not know what else to say, because it was a gift.

I come to this book from the perspective from someone who has written python for many years and who has been involved in the technology world for quite some time. My children are growing up and I would like them to have confidence with programming no matter what career path they choose in life. Programming is not so much a means to an income, but a tool that empowers you to get things done no matter what your chosen career is.My problem, how do I teach this to my kids. This book has given me the foundation of getting back to the basics. Furthermore, it does it in a way that is fun. Most kids like games. Give them the power to write games and you will get the extra attention from them needed to get through the learning curve.The first several chapters have helped me slow down, figure out how to get basic concepts across to my oldest. These are things I take for granted, but can be daunting for a new user. The examples in the book are provided on-line as well. It does take a little while (chapter 17) to get to the really fun stuff (graphical games). But when you do, these chapters help gain the attention that might otherwise be waning.Complaints: I really don’t have too much to complain about. There were some inconsistencies with the code which you can cut and paste on-line, but the code you actually click to download to your machine was completely aligned with the the book. My major complaint is with python, the language itself. The challenge this book is facing i.
I have read this book online for free at / ,and I have to say it is fantastic. The pygame chapters are a must have, making the earlier
very easy to understand and has a lot of great informations. I recommend it to every one who wants to learn python
I decided to learn Python as I had heard it was a good all round Programming language for a newbie. I am working my way through this book and have found it’s simplicity and clarity ideal for me. It introduces the concepts in a gentle, interesting and concise way. It makes learning gradual and fun. It certainly isn’t boring and as a complete beginner to programming I would definitely recommend this book.
"Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" is one of the three free python books from Al Sweigart. This is a great introductory Python programming book. I suggest “Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python†for more advanced topics. Even though the book is meant for young kids, it’s great for adults also. I have friends in college who are reading this book and said it helps them with their college courses.
