Game Programming with Python and PyGame
summary
Builds a playable shooter using Python and Pygame, implements a classic game loop (input, update, draw), maps screen pixels to x/y coordinates and uses simple rectangle collision math (x + width comparisons) for sprite hits, spawns enemies with random positions, and adds bullets. Frames-per-second control is explicit—mentions limiting to 60 frames per second. The demo runs but shows practical bugs: missed event handling that can freeze the window and a stray initial bullet placement that is worked around.
