“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.” (The MagPi, Issue 46, June, 2016)
