Rezensionen

"This book does a superb job of fitting programming concepts - and Python learning - to building several games with the ever useful Pygame library. ... Aimed at younger readers, but accessible to all, Craven's teaching experience shows through in both tone and pace ... . Plentiful exercises, including a whole chapter at the end revisiting every project in the book, drive the lessons deep. Well written, well developed, and ... very enjoyable to work through."
