Beginner Python with Mini-games

Beginner Python with Mini-games Online

Learn to program simply Python games that can be played directly on your command line/terminal. This workshop is online via Zoom.
 

Before you join our workshop please ensure that Python3 is installed on your computer.

Steps to Install Python on MacOS:

  1. Go to python.org to find the latest release of Python (Python 3.10 as of writing this outline)
  2. Click the “Downloads” tab and then click the “Download for Mac OSX” button
  3. Follow onscreen installation instructions
  4. To check the proper version of Python has been successfully installed, open the Terminal application and type “python3 --version”
  5. It should read “Python 3.10”

WARNING: Do not type “python --version,” as this will show the python version pre-installed on MacOS X, which is Python 2, not 3. If an error
occurs when typing “python3 --version,” this means you have not installed Python correctly. DO NOT USE PYTHON 2 FOR THIS WORKSHOP!

Steps to install Python on Windows:

  1. Go to python.org to find the latest release of Python (Python 3.10 as of writing this outline)
  2. Click the “Downloads” tab and then click the “Download for Windows” button
  3. Follow the onscreen installation instructions
  4. To check that Python was installed correctly, open the “Command Prompt” application and type “python3 --version”

Tips:

  • Click on the “py launcher” in the “Optional Features” part of the installation to upgrade the py launcher if there is a previous version of Python installed on your Windows desktop/laptop
  • DO NOT CLICK on the “downloading debugging” option on the “Advanced Options” part of the installation unless you’re aware of what you’re doing
  • YOU DO NOT NEED THE DEBUGGING FEATURES FOR THIS WORKSHOP
