Many students these days wish to games programmers.

Pygame is a fabulous addition to the programming language Python used to write professional looking computer games.

This tutorial was originally written as part of a training day I led for staff interested in using Pygame as part of their teaching or as part of a games programming club. The training day was very well received so I have adapted the materials to allow self tuition by staff.

If you have an interest in Python programming you'll love this extension to your own skills and knowledge.

Although written for staff, pupils could easily follow the tutorial themselves.

Note that this is a commercial resource. It can be purchased for $8 (about £5) from TeachersPayTeachers.com using the link below.

The knowledge acquired in this tutorial would allow you to deliver myself and Dave Stott's PyGame student course:
