## Description

Computer Coding Python Games for Kids (DK Help Your Kids With) : Vorderman, Carol: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Great for kids, had no problems getting anything to work (2025) - The book contains a number of computer games that you read about and type into a python code editor. The books shows you how to set everything up. The book explains programming concepts as you go. There's a lot of great skills your child is learning by working through each chapter. The learn about the filing system, improve their familiarity with a keyboard, how to use a simple text editor and basic programming concepts. The games included are very well thought through as they don't require much code but each does something interesting and will teach your child some new programming concepts and give them a sense of achievement.
Review: Concise and child friendly introduction to programming using pygame zero - Ref the previous reviews saying the code doesn’t work. It’s now June 2020 and perhaps the book has been revised (though not mentioned in the front), but it is clear on page 53 for the first game how to run it. The instructions on pages 24 and 25 are clear. There are no errors with the “shoot the Apple” code given on page 198. The code is written for pygame zero so many packages are pre bundled into that eg Actor. If you are running within the idle editor then yes you will need to add references to packages that don’t need to be mentioned if running via pgzrun command. This is a very clear and concise introduction to pygame zero and gives opportunity to develop and enhance the games that are included. Negative is you have to type everything, the source code is not made available for download from DK.com, just the graphic files.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book but needs addons
*by T***Y on 2 January 2022*

I like this series of books and have a library from maths to English. The python book is no exception it appeals to children walking them through sample apps. It gives clues to the logic of different kinds of games. There is a strong reliance on the gaming library which can be tricky on some devices and means that you don't see immediate results this can be a bit off-putting for beginners. It does not take long to get past this stage with some help. All in all useful for getting started with games.
