Computer Coding Python Games for Kids

I'm excited to share my thoughts on "Computer Coding Python Games for Kids." This book is an absolute gem for young learners interested in coding and game development. The author's approachable writing style and well-structured lessons make learning Python a breeze, even for beginners. The book's focus on creating games adds an engaging and practical element to the learning process. The step-by-step instructions, along with colorful visuals and interactive examples, ensure that kids stay engaged and excited about coding. I was particularly impressed with how the book encourages creativity by guiding readers through the process of designing their own games. It's a fantastic resource that not only imparts coding skills but also nurtures problem-solving and logical thinking abilities. As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the educational value and fun that "Computer Coding Python Games for Kids" brings to the table.

Great coding book

This is a very good book for kids to learn Python, clear instructions and fun games to teach the basic concepts. However even though it does provide the PNG files for each game, it did not provide the actual source code and kids will have to type those code in themselves. Maybe this is a tested and approved approach, but I find it disappointing. Kids does spend quite some times for the lessons at the end where source codes are lengthy.

This book is brilliant, and you you would expect no less from DK and Vorderman one or two things though to get you started because time has moved on and the software isn't quite as plug and play as you might hope, you have to download stuff so here it is (this works for windows 10, it may also work for 11 but I don't know for sure) 1 - don't just blindy download the latest python release, search specifically for version 3.8 2 - when installing look at the options and make sure it is set 'for all users' and 'integrated operations' or whatever the other option says (if in doubt tick all) 3 - after that ALSO go to microsoft store and 'get' python 3.8 from there as well, it obviously adds in something else that makes it all work 4 - run command line in *ADMINISTRATOR* and use the commands 'pip install pygame' and 'pip install pgzero' it will be obvious it it works, you should not be seeing any long warning messages in orange 5 - go to the dk website and download the images resource pack as detailed within the book page 52 point 4 you should now be ready to get on, click on the start menu and type IDLE to find the right compiler tool (right click and create shortcut for ease of access) make a little folder next to that on the desktop called python projects and if you use the start and end code from page 25 on each project, you will be able to run the program direct from IDLE or simply by double clicking your .py file in its folder now just enjoy having fun with it you're welcome :) my kids are 8 and 6, the 6yo in particular is autistic and very good at maths, he is all over this, and also codes already in minecraft, spends his whole life looking for bugs in nintendo games so im trying to get him away from playing and more into creating

veramente ben fatto con immagini e colori che attirano e incuriosiscono i ragazzi , attenzione però è in inglese ed è molto basico, tanto è vero che si rivolge a un pubblico dagli 8 anni in su
