Python is a very versatile modern programming language and in this course you will learn basic game development using a python library called pygame. We will be creating a clone version of the very popular game called flappy bird that made a lot of money for it's developer few years ago.
Creating a flappy bird clone from scratch will teach you some very useful practical skills in game development that you can use to create your own games in future.
