Python + PyGame: Game Dev Tutorial

[Verahta]

I'm new to Python (finishing the MIT 6.00.1x course on EDx this week!) and after getting my feet wet with a MOOC on it, I decided to try out PyGame and game development in Python. I wanted to share this video tutorial series I found today on YouTube. The first half of the series you learn the basics of PyGame and build a bug game and then the second half you build a top-down little zombie shooter (and he explains A* pathfinding, collision detection and so on):

Nice! I was kind of eyeing the Python and PyGame tutorial series on Pluralsight. I have some experience with Python but none with PyGame. I like Python, and it really does make development easy as could be.

Also, here is an entire introductory Python course by University of Michigan professor, Dr. Charles Severance:
