Recommendations on how to get started with Python as a first programming language up to using PyGame
This repo intends to help someone unfamiliar with computer programming by providing suggestions for the following topics.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| First Programming Language Options | While there are a lot of good programming languages in existence today, here I show why I believe Python is the best first programming language for someone who desires to build games. |
| Setup Environment | In this section we will discover the software we need to install to write programs with Python and setup the environment needed for the examples in this repo. |
| Jupyter Notebooks | One of the features of the Python extension for VS Code is so called Jupyter Notebooks. In this section we will explore using Jupyter Notebooks to incrementally learn a new programming topic. |
| Basics of Programming | This section introduces the basic concepts involved in computer programming or software engineering as it is also known. |
| Writing Games | Writing games is a vast and broad topic. In this section we will explore how we can apply some of the things we have learned so far to the art form of game development. |
| Pygame-ce | Let's take a look at PyGame as one of the most popular libraries for writing games in Python. |
| Next Steps | What else? Since Python is arguably the most popular general purpose programming languages in use today there are a lot of resources to expand our knowledge of Python ans how it might be used. |
