Coding in Python II

Learn how to make increasingly complex graphics‐based programs and games in Python. You'll build on computer science concepts such as statements and variables, values, expressions, conditionals, booleans, while loops, randomness, libraries, debugging, program analysis and procedural drawing (lines, shapes, colors, animation and program structure). You’ll also delve into concepts such as the Pygame library for mouse and keyboard input and timers, lists, for loops and sprite graphics.

Both on your own and with the instructor, you'll code a variety of exercises that make use of these concepts to create games, visual programs and more.

How to create more complex games, visual programs and animations using sprite graphics
Ways to identify project criteria and determine a proper scope for a project
How to design a graphical window and write text on the screen
How to use events and mouse and keyboard data to spot input from other users
