Making Video Games with Python

You may already have done our Junior Python course, or you may be taking your first steps with text-based programming. Either way Making Video Games with Python is for you. Students will start off by making some purely text-based games, including a text-based adventure game, that will enable them to get to grips with the basics of the Python language.

The next stage will be to take a deep dive into the PygameZero library for making 2D games. This will include a more in-depth look at common patterns in game programming and give the students a better understanding of how to develop their programs and games, based around making a series of different games to explore different aspects of the process.

The week will culminate in the students developing a game of their own.
