Build Your First Game in Python

8 weeks · 3 milestones

Write a game in Python that someone else can actually play — a quiz, a word game, a simple platformer, or anything with a win condition. Use Pygame Zero (free, beginner-friendly) or follow the CS50 Games course (free from Harvard). Proof is a video of the game running or a link to the code with clear run instructions — the game must work, not just compile.

What you'll achieve

Write your first Python program that prints, asks for input, and uses if/else

Build a working game loop — something the player can interact with and eventually win or lose

Share a video of the game running or a public repo link with run instructions
