Imagine Publidhing, 2016. — 132 p. — ISBN: 9781785462689Python is a great programming language for both beginners and experts. It is designed with code readability in mind, making it an excellent choice for beginners who are still getting used to various programming concepts.
The language is popular and has plenty of libraries available, allowing programmers to get a lot done with relatively little code. You can make all kinds of applications in Python: you could use the Pygame framework to write simple 2D games, you could use the GTK libraries to create a windowed application, or you could try something a little more ambitious like an app such as creating one using Python’s Bluetooth and Input libraries to capture the input from a USB keyboard and relay the input events to an Android phone. For this tutorial we’re going to be using Python 2.x since that is the version that is most likely to be installed on your Linux distribution. In the following tutorials, you’ll learn how to create popular games using Python programming. We’ll also show you how to add sound and AI to these games.
