Python でテキストベースのゲームを作る | コンピュータ プログラミングとゲーム開発入門

In the first meeting, students will learn the basics of programming in the python programming language, including writing text to the screen, reading and parsing user input, and storing information in variables.

In the second meeting, students learn about branching code that can do completely different things based on user input, so that they can get started developing a choose-your-own-adventure game. We also determine a manageable scope for the game based on how much the student is willing to do on their own time, and we plan out the whole game.

The third meeting will be about building the game; by the end of the third meeting, the student will be able to show off the game to their friends, and they should have the knowledge needed to make similar text-based games in the future.

This is only a rough roadmap of how I expect the meetings to go. In reality, different students might learn at different rates, come in with different levels of background knowledge, or be really curious about an obscure part of programming or game design, so sometimes we might divert from this roadmap. Students might start on their actual game earlier or later than expected, or spend a long time discussing a tangent that the student is interested in.
