If you know someone that wants to learn to program their own arcade games, check out:
http://ProgramArcadeGames.com * 84 free tutorial videos * Start creating graphics by Chapter 5 * Full text of the book on-line. * Cookbook of 47 example programs * On-line multiple choice quizzes track your progress * Short-answer questions test your knowledge in more depth. * Labs – see if you understand by creating your own games. * Sample tests – Test your knowledge. * Program in Python * Track, grade, and mentor students' progress through the course I've put this book together and refined it from year-to-year based on student feedback during their first semester of programming at Simpson College. This is a first-semester course and assumes no prior knowledge of programming. I've successfully run hundreds of students through this course and had them create their own arcade games. Each time I refine the course and use their questions to make the book that much better. Plus, there are Russian and Turkish translations thanks to some volunteers! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
