You should be somewhat familiar with python already before taking this course. You will need to have python and pygame installed locally but this process is easy to do. Just follow one of the tutorials below to do so.

In this lesson we will go over the basics of using PyGame for game development in python by creating a clone of the classic game snake. PyGame is a library similar to processing however, it's more focused on full on game development whereas processing is geared more towards small projects and programming based art. After completing the lesson you will have a fully functional snake game and the ability to use PyGame to develop games of your own.
