## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pygame!
*by !***R on February 27, 2013*

You know. I really enjoy this book. Al writes a great book; it is an enjoyable read. This prompted me to buy his other book - Invent your Own Computer Games with Python. Buy them both - you won't be disappointed. The quality of the book (Paper, cover, typeset) is very readable and high-quality for a computer book, which makes it a good library addition. Also, you can get the digital edition free, and lots of code/etc from website - so very good value.Al presents python and pygame concepts in context of re-creating several typical games - like tetris, memory, othello, wormy, etc. Overall excellent pygame book. Pairs well with the rasperry pi computer... hint hint, nudge nudge. ( The games featured in this book are installed on raspberry pi stock image.. )Honestly it's more fun than slogging through the pygame website, and example code. Pygame and this book allow you to quickly put together some pretty 'low tech' fun and easy games.Technically:The book quickly introduces you to core display concepts like surfaces, drawing shapes, colors, blitting graphics, and playing sounds. Then it guides you through 'event handling' concepts over the course of several games. You will be up and running quickly making your own games with sound/graphics/event handling.So, really a good intro / even intermediate intro / to pygame, which perhaps doesn't touch on pygame's more advanced topics very deeply. Focuses well on game design concepts, but doesn't get extremely deep into every bell and whistle of pygame, which to me was a good thing, and kept the book understandable and concise. It is not a 'reference' type book, and advanced pygame topics were not included.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ i like this book
*by A***R on August 10, 2013*

This book is good choice if you are beginner in programming. This book will teach with examples syntax of python and programming skills will sure come better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for kids
*by J***. on July 16, 2013*

This series is a bunch of programs that the kids type in and explanations of how the programs work. It's a great jumping off point to messing around -- you start with something that works and change it up to do other things that are more interesting to you. It really doesn't teach computer science at all, the way we grown-ups understand it, but my daughter loves this approach and she's got time to learn the other stuff later. There's a lot to be learned just by the messing around that this book encourages.
