The book is suitable for students aged 14 – 18 years, Ideally, students should already have been taught the basics of Python i.e. variables, selection and iteration. The first two chapters introduce the basics of Pygame and how to install it. The preceding chapters work through a series of projects that increase in complexity. The final projects, might make a good starting point for a Level 3 programming project.
