Python is a widely used programming language that emphasizes readability. It was started in 1989 by Guido van Rossum as a successor to the ABC language. The core philosophy is summarized as "beautiful is better than ugly" and "readability counts". Python has a large standard library providing tools for tasks like games. Pygame is a set of Python modules for writing video games using the SDL library without low-level C code. Examples of Python games include Eve Online and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean, which were made using Python game engines.

2. What is Python?
Python is a widely used general-purpose,
high-level programming language. Its design
philosophy emphasizes code readability, and
its syntax allows programmers to express
concepts in fewer lines of code than would be
possible in languages such as C++ or Java.
The language provides constructs intended to
enable clear programs on both a small and
large scale.

3. History of Python
● Python was conceived in the late 1980s
and its implementation was started in
December 1989 by Guido van Rossum at
CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to
the ABC language (itself inspired by SETL)
capable of exception handling and
interfacing with the Amoeba operating
system. Van Rossum is Python's principal
author, and his continuing central role in
deciding the direction of Python is reflected
in the title given to him by the Python
community, benevolent dictator for life

4. Python's Philosophy
● The core philosophy of the language is
summarized by the document "PEP 20
(The Zen of Python)", which includes
aphorisms such as:
1.Beautiful is better than ugly
2.Explicit is better than implicit
3.Simple is better than complex
4.Complex is better than complicated
5.Readability counts

5. Python's Libraries
● Python has a large standard library, commonly
cited as one of Python's greatest strengths,
providing tools suited to many tasks. This is
deliberate and has been described as a "batteries
included" Python philosophy. For Internet-facing
applications, a large number of standard formats
and protocols (such as MIME and HTTP) are
supported. Modules for creating graphical user
interfaces, connecting to relational databases,
pseudorandom number generators, arithmetic
with arbitrary precision decimals, manipulating
regular expressions, and doing unit testing are
also included.

6. What are PyGames?
● Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python
modules designed for writing video games.
It includes computer graphics and sound
libraries designed to be used with the
Python programming language. It is built
over the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)
library, with the intention of allowing real-
time computer game development without
the low-level mechanics of the C
programming language and its derivatives.

7. Python Games
● Also known as PyGames, are the games
made by using the python code. Many
people use python to depict all of their
creativity onto a blank canvas and add
codes that make those characters move in
a game and have a purpose.

8. Example of PyGames
● Eve Online is probably the most known
game that used Stackless Python, a
lightweight, microthread version of Python.

9. Examples of PyGames
● Another example of a game made using
Python is Disney's Pirates of The
Caribbean. It was written using Panda3d
game engine (which allows both Python
and C++ scripting). The engine is in C++,
but then again, the Python interpreter itself
also uses a lot of C code.

10. PyGames
● PyGames can be made by anyone that has
a basic knowledge of Python and uses the
help of the World Wide Web to perfect their
desired games. An example would be this
