A complete Beginner's Guide to Python by Making Simple Games
summary
Three hours of hands‑on Python for absolute beginners that actually builds three small programs: Guess the Number, a Magic 8 Ball clone, and a Dice Rolling Simulator. Uses IDLE or mu and the standard library random.randint calls, shows pythontutor.com visual execution for step‑through debugging, teaches variables, lists, dicts, loops and functions, and demonstrates a one‑million‑roll simulation completing in seconds. Emphasizes concrete errors, Googling stack traces, and iterative testing rather than vague theory.
