Instant Pygame for Python Game Development How-to is an excellent source to introduce Python developers to game creation using the Pygame Python library. Throughout the book you will be introduced to some of the most useful Python libraries like the NumPy numerical library and the Pygame Subset For Android.
Beginners can choose to begin with simple concepts such as drawing, animating objects, and using fonts; then move on to more advanced topics like artificial intelligence, collision detection, and the use of OpenGL. There are even sections with advice on debugging and profiling your code. More expert users can jump into any topic they desire. Each section provides quick, concise examples on the topic. Although not completely necessary, some Python experience may be helpful for the complete beginner.
Overall, very fun to work through, and a great resource for expanding on your own capabilities.
