I make and sell Python games professionally so I'll definitely check this out. If I had a child that I wanted to expose to programming, getting them interested in playing and making their own games is definitely how I'd do it. And I'd definitely start them with Python, since I feel it's both a simple/easy language to learn, plus, it "scales up" into still being a good professional tool as well. (A quality which didn't apply to my first language, Applesoft BASIC, oh so many years ago.)
- YooLi 16y agoCan you share a few titles of the games you make? I'd like to see python game.

- Volscio 16y agoI learned a little bit about programming as a kid with those books that just had re-prints of BASIC game code. The time spent debugging my own typos was pretty valuable.
- mkramlich 16y agome too! i remember seeing source to games like Lunar Lander, Kingdom, and some simple Adventure/Zork-likes printed in books and magazines like that.
