Master OOP by Building Games and GUIs
Power up your Python with object-oriented programming and learn how to write powerful, efficient, and re-usable code.Object-Oriented Python is an intuitive and thorough guide to mastering object-oriented programming from the ground up. Youll cover the basics of building classes and creating objects, and put theory into practice using the pygame package with clear examples that help visualize the object-oriented style. Youll explore the key concepts of object-oriented programming encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance and learn not just how to code with objects, but the absolute best practices for doing so. Finally, youll bring it all together by building a complex video game, complete with full animations and sounds. The book covers two fully functional Python code packages that will speed up development of graphical user interface (GUI) programs in Python.
