Ein Buch von David Crookes & Andrew Gillet Code the Classics In the first of two volumes, we remake five classic video games in the popular Python programming language. Ranging from Pong to Sensible Soccer, each recreatedclassic title represents a different style of game. We interview the games’ original creators and learn from their example, as well as utilise the art and audio engineeringskills of two of the 1980s’ most prolific games developers for our recreated versions of the games. In recreating classic games, readers are able to learn the basic constructions of what made them such playable and iconic genres, giving them a solid grounding that they can build upon to create their own original games in Python. All games will be open source and the code can be copied from the page or downloaded. internal code: MAG30 MagPi 224 pages ISBN: 978-1-912047-59-8 Raspberry Pi Press Über die Autoren: David Crookes began his career as a journalist in 1994 and has since written and worked for The Independent, The Daily Mirror, BBC Radio 5 Live, The Times, and Retro Gamer,among many others.
