Code the Classics Volume 1

This amazing 224 - page hardback book does more than just share the stories of some of the most important video games from the 1970s and 1980s. It shows you how to create your own games inspired by them using Python and Pygame Zero, with examples programmed by Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton. In this first volume of two, we recreate five classic video games, from Pong to Sensible Soccer, each from a different genre. We interview the original game creators, learn from them, and use the art and audio skills of two of the 1980s' most productive game developers for our remakes. Here's what you can do: get game design tips from the experts, explore code listings, download and play Eben Upton's game examples, learn to code your own games with Pygame Zero, read interviews with graphics and audio pros, and download the code.

Using this book is easy. First, start reading the stories of the classic video games to get inspired. Then, follow the examples programmed by Eben Upton to learn how to code your own games with Python and Pygame Zero. You can explore the code listings to understand how they work. When you want to try something, download the game examples and the code provided. While using the book, make sure to keep your software up - to - date to avoid any compatibility issues. For maintenance, just keep the book in a dry place to prevent it from getting damaged. Have fun creating your own games!
