Publisher's Synopsis

You like gaming, and you like your Raspberry Pi, so now what? Learn to program games on the Pi! With Learn Raspberry Pi Game Programming, you will learn how to make games using Python and Pygame, a set of Python game modules. And you'll learn how to do all of this on a $35 computer.

Even if you've never programmed before, or you have yet to turn on your Raspberry Pi, this book will get you set up both with your Pi and with IDLE, your Python development environment. Next you'll learn Python and Pygame programming basics, and you'll test your code with mini-projects.

Finally, you'll put all the pieces together while building a puzzle game that showcases all you've learned, plus you'll get a bonus lesson on the best practices of game programming and how to get users more involved.

If you have a Raspberry Pi and you want to really get some useful fun out of it and learn Python in the bargain, then Learn Raspberry Pi Game Programming is just the book for you.
