Make it! Code it! Break it! Mod it!
Meg Ray's CODE THIS GAME! is a nonfiction visual guide, illustrated by
Keith Zoo, that teaches young readers, 10-14, how to program and create
their very own video game. Each chapter introduces key coding concepts
as kids build an action strategy game in Python, an open-source
programming language. The book features an innovative stand-up format
that allows kids to read, program, and play their game simultaneously.
With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, CODE THIS GAME! teaches
kids to build a strategy action game called "Attack of the Vampire
Pizzas!" The book also teaches how to modify the game and follow one's
imagination by incorporating downloadable art assets. By the time kids
finish the book, they'll have mastered basic coding concepts and created
a personalized game.
