Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python es un libro gratuito y libre que te enseña a programar juegos de ordenador en Python. Cada ciertos capítulos te muestra el código completo de un nuevo juego y luego te explica los conceptos de programación de dicho código.

Uno de los juegos más sencillos y más interesantes para aprender es el Tres en Raya, aquí os paso el código completo para ejecutarlo en Python 3 en adelante.
