One of the quickest ways to learn coding is by building a small Python game. This hands-on guide takes you through the process from concept to a basic prototype using easy-to-understand examples that you can later develop. Game development knowledge and basic Python skills are enough to follow this.Step 1: Pick a Tiny, Winnable ConceptMake it something that can be completed within a weekend: a paddle-and-ball clone, “dodge the falling blocks,” a side-to-side runner, or a simple clicker. One core loop (move → collide → score → repeat) should be the game idea. The game concept should be expressed in…
