Bøger af James R. Parker

Offers an introduction to programming concepts that uses Python 3 as the target language. The book follows a practical just in time presentation - material is given to the student when it is needed. Many examples are based on games because Python has become the language of choice for basic game development.

Provides programmers with sufficient knowledge of Python 3 to be able to work on their own projects. In addition to covering all of the basic concepts, the book features a chapter on PyGame, which allows a programmer to handle graphics, mouse and keyboard interaction, and play sounds and videos.

Covers the basic game development process, including graphics, sound, artificial intelligence, animation, game engines, Web-based games, etc. Real games will be created, and significant parts of a game engine will be built and made available for download. The companion DVD contains example code, games, and colour figures.
