Learning to programme is child's play with the help of many games
Introduction to object-oriented programming
With all programming examples and solutions to the exercises for downloading

The programming language Python is so popular because it is clearly structured, modern and powerful.
In this book, Hans-Georg Schumann shows you how easy it is to turn ideas into programs with Python. You will learn how to write simple programs with the help of many small and two large games, and you will quickly understand what loops, classes, branches and functions are all about. Object-oriented programming is also covered.
You will also get to know the game module Pygame, which improves the graphical representation of your program. Step by step, you will become a game programmer and create two complete games with the help of this book.
Many questions and tasks at the end of the chapters are fun and consolidate what you have learned in no time.
In the appendix, the installation of Python is explained and there is a checklist for troubleshooting.
