STAY AWAY

Speaking as half of the tech-editing team for this book (the formal title
is _Game Programming: The L Line, The Express Line to Learning_), I
recommend staying as far as possible from this book.  It does an okay job
of teaching pygame, but it does a poor job of teaching Python (for
example, it does not mention dicts) and therefore has a number of flaws
from a pedagogical perspective, *plus* there are some bugs in the code.
