Teaching Python 3 6 with Games

Paul Craven is the creator of Arcade, a 2d game library, and author of "Program Arcade Games with Python and Pygame". He's also a college professor teaching beginning programming using Python and game-writing.

He has settled on Arcade, Python 3.6 and PyCharm CE in his instruction. Arcade is written for the purpose of teaching, and thus heavily uses Python 3.6 type hinting. In this webinar recording, Paul discusses:

* Teaching programming using Python and game-writing
* 2d games, and how Arcade was designed to help teach students
* How Python 3.6 type hinting, combined with an IDE, helps both teaching and writing a framework

Python is very interesting indeed. I need to learn how to handle the programming.

It was excellent, thank you for the tips.
I forgot to ask one question in the chat window: is the curriculum of the college/uni subject available somewhere? Would be nice to see from where to where the kids are progressing. I think it was mentioned it’s a one semester class, but would be nice to know more details.
Thanks.
