So far, I think this one is my favorite book for graphical gaming titles. I purchased the paperback version; it's over 200 pages, and each page is full of practical skills and helpful teaching. Every chapter tackles a different game and breaks down exactly what's going on and how to apply the programming concepts that the authors are teaching you. After two necessary intro chapters on getting a very beginner-level knowledge of Python, you're then provided 9 chapters that help you build increasingly sophisticated and fun games. We actually enjoy playing these games because they have the right mixture of low-res (retro) graphics and simple interactivity. ==Who is this book for? == Parents with kids as young as 7 or 8 can help their little ones begin a real programming language. You don't need pseudo-coding or fancy robots to learn to code--just this book and a free copy of Python will do the trick. You can even use the $35 Raspberry Pi as your computer if you have a TV and a keyboard lying around. For older kids in their tweens or early teens, this book will be all they need, even with no help from adults. ==How is Coding Games in Python different?== This book is a great balance of depth and fun. There isn't nearly as much theory and explanation as the excellent titles by Al Sweigart have, but this book does provide enough detail and troubleshooting advice to help you glimpse what's going on under the hood. The authors even teach you to use a graphical module called Pygame Zero, which is a lightweight way to start coding games with graphics. It's also a great introduction to the full-blown Pygame later on. ==Any Downsides to this book?== This isn't a substitute for a real computer science class. I felt that Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python (by Sweigart) introduced you to most of the concepts and theory to succeed in a high school level computer science curriculum. Instead, this book focused on getting plenty of experience, even if that means that your kid doesn't necessarily know everything that's going on with the code. I feel like parents that already know Python will be able to use this book as a hook to get kids interested and will be able to explain the areas that the book only glosses over. Review: Great for Python fundamentals—Does the trick - This was a good buy. I wanted to learn the fundamentals of Python, and this book did exactly that. Even though it's marketed as a guide for kids, the way it breaks down coding logic and game development in Python is very clear and effective. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense way to get a handle on the basics. Highly recommended if you want to learn the core principles without the typical technical bloat. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #109,311 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Children's Programming Books #112 in Children's Video & Electronic Games Books #113 in Children's Books on Computer Entertainment & Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 407 Reviews | ## Images ![Coding Games in Python (DK Help Your Kids) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QnW-RmTdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of fun games and decent explanations equal a stellar book *by S***. on January 23, 2019* This is the fourth game-oriented Python book I've purchased to help my kids learn coding skills.
