<h1>Preface</h1>

"Where can I learn how to use pygame?" - one of the most commonly asked
10+
questions that we get. But we always struggle to answer. We sometimes point
11+
them to the docs and examples, but that isn't a comprehensive guide on
12+
building good pygame-based applications. There are many other tutorials and
13+
guides we have found, but we always find something lacking. There are many
14+
comments we give and many nitpicks we have - so much so that some of us
15+
gathered and decided to put all of them into a book. This book.

<h1>Prerequisites</h1>
19+
<p>
20+
So this book is meant for people who already know a bit of Python. Here's
21+
what you need to know:
22+
</p>
23+
<ul>
24+
<li>Variables, loops and conditions</li>
25+
<li>Functions</li>
26+
<li>How objects work in Python</li>
27+
</ul>
28+
29+
<p>
30+
If you aren't familiar with the above, there are already some excellent
31+
pre-existing Python resources out there that we suggest depending on your
32+
situation
33+
</p>
34+
<h2>New to programming</h2>
35+
<p>
36+
If you're new to programming, here are some resources that are meant to
37+
teach you from the ground up
38+
</p>
39+
<h3>Text resources:</h3>
40+
<ul>
41+
<li>Automate The Boring Stuff</li>
42+
<li>A Byte of Python</li>
43+
</ul>
44+
<h3>Video resources:</h3>
45+
<ul>
46+
<li>Corey Schafer's Python basics series</li>
47+
<li>Introduction to Python by Mike Dane</li>
48+
</ul>
49+
50+
<h2>Familiar with programming</h2>
51+
<p>
52+
If you're already familiar with programming, you probably don't want
53+
variables, loops, conditions and the like explained to you again, the
54+
<a href="">Official Python Tutorial</a> acts as a schema to the language
55+
while still being more expressive than documentation and covers the features
56+
of the language nicely
