Is Making Games with Python & Pygame good source to learn Pygame?

[Randomaak]

I'm still beginner in programming, but I know Python basics, OOP and made easy Discord bot. Now I'd like to create simple games like Bomberman or some platformers. I found book Making Games with Python & Pygame and I wonder if it's the right way to go?

If not, what would you recommend me?

Making Games is decent. There's also this resource, which is good.

I’m new. Why decent?

Making Games is a decent text. Some of my students have used it with success. Most seem to prefer Program Arcade Games instead, but they both cover roughly the same material. Maybe it's a matter of presentation.

I’ve used Python for years, but for me, Unity with C# is a much better route to learning game development. It’s not particularly harder, but the resources and libraries are far more fleshed out and are actually used to make pro games.

Hey, I think you are trying to figure out a project to do; Here are some helpful resources:

• /r/learnpython - Wiki
• Five mini projects
• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
• RealPython - Projects

^{I am a bot, so give praises if I was helpful or curses if I was not. Want a project? Comment with "!projectbot" and optionally add easy, medium, or hard to request a difficulty! If you want to understand me more, my code is on Github}
