Making Games with Python is an amazing way to learn multiple small but important functions in Python and have fun at the same time. The number of games you can make with Python are infinite. From text games to actual 2D games, the possibilities are many. For starters, here are some games that you can program in an hour or two, but have fun with for days:
Beginner Level:
Rock-Paper-Scissors: This beginner's classic is quite straightforward to program. When you are programming this game, you will find yourself mastering if-else statements and learning the basics of the commonly used Random Module.
Tic-Tac-Toe: One of the most commonly played games of all time, programming a simple game of Tic-Tac-Toe in Python will familiarize you with nested lists and make you an expert of conditional statements, while providing you with a quick method to spend your spare time.
Intermediate Level:
Blackjack: Blackjack is a famous card game that is easy to understand and play. However, trying to code it is much tougher as you need to maintain a deck of cards, keep count of which cards have been drawn, assign values to each card and develop a mechanism for the computer to play its move, giving any programmer an interesting challenge.
Hangman: The rules of Hangman may be simple, but just like Blackjack, converting human rules to computer code is the hard part. The computer must check whether the input is valid, check and fill all occurrences of the letter in the word and ensure that the user does not pass ten wrong moves. Coding this game will help you master string manipulation and you will end up with a good game.
Battleships: Make sure you have mastered the programs you used in the previous projects, because Battleships will test you as a programmer. The code tests your knowledge of nested lists, random module, dictionaries, list manipulation and a lot more. Coding Battleships successfully means you are an expert in the basics of Python and you can promote yourself to Pygrammer.
So, there it is. Here are 5 games that will help you learn a lot of different programs, modules and functions.
