This course uses an interesting way to get you to love Python: videogames. You will slowly work your way up the \"Python ladder\" by implementing one small project each week, consisting of a videogame. Whether is Black-Jack or Memory or Pong, it's a fun way to learn a new programming language. The most interesting part is that you can actually code your python project online, using [CodeSkulptor](http://www.codeskulptor.org), an online Python development tool created by one of the teachers on this course, Scott Rixner.\n\nThese are the mini-projects I developed during the course.\n\nDisclaimer:\n-------\nThese are not here for you to copy. These are here for your reference. I strongly encourage you to take this course and work on these on your own. They're especially aimed at the beginners in Python.\n\nPrerequisites:\n--------\n* [Python 2.7](http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/) (they'll probably work in Python 3, but they need a bit of adjusting)\n* [SimpleGUITk](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SimpleGUITk) library - the course uses a custom library called Simplegui, but that library is only available in [CodeSkulptor](http://www.codeskulptor.org)\n* [SimpleGUICS2Pygame](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SimpleGUICS2Pygame) - an alternative to SimpleGUITk; used in week 8 because SimpleGUITk on Linux has some problems with loading sound files from URLs\n\nProjects description:\n---------\n\n* Week 1: Rock, paper, scissors, lizzard, Spock - a gentle introduction to python and conditionals\n* Week 2: Guess the number - introduces the \"frame\", input fields and events\n* Week 3: Stopwatch - introduces the timer and the canvas, and string manipulation\n* Week 4: Pong - who doesn't love Pong? Introduces drawings to canvas and collisions. Also, introduces a bit the concept of lists and touples\n* Week 5: Memory - nice card game; teaches you how to draw images on the canvas\n* Week 6: Black jack - you know what it is\n* Week 7: Spaceship - things get serious. You'll learn about movement, friction, sprite animation\n* Week 8: Rice-rocks - the final projects is an adaptation of a game called [Asteroids](http://www.play.vg/games/4-Asteroids.html). \n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdplaton%2Finteractive-programming-python","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdplaton%2Finteractive-programming-python","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdplaton%2Finteractive-programming-python/lists"}
