Class Experience

In this course, students will learn  how to build simple Python based games using programming concepts andgraphics using the Python module Turtle . Learners will create video games using  Pygame module. Turtle and Pygames are 2 modules we will learn in this course to make video games along with python programming basics 

We will use an online editor for programming so no prior installation is needed. 

Lesson 1 – Setting up and getting started  
Understanding how to set up your account on online editors and getting started with Python basics like saving and creating a file. 

Lesson 2 – Turtle Graphics
