Either build web apps with Python web frameworks (Django), desktop apps with one of GUI supporting libraries (kivy, tkinter, pygame and others) or mobile apps (kivy, sl4a) Refer here:-) https://github.com/renpytom/rapt-pygame-example This tutorial also helps... https://kivy.org/docs/tutorials/crashcourse.html

Btw, if the gaming industry is your goal, I'd take some time to learn C#/C++ and then learn Unity/Unreal. They're the main game engines in the industry at the moment, and you can't go wrong with learning either or both of them. www.Unity3D.com/learn https://www.sololearn.com/Course/CSharp/ www.UnrealEngine.com https://www.sololearn.com/Course/CPlusPlus/

Personally Pramod, if you're serious about making games, I'd spend less time focused on Python and more time on C# or C++. You can easily make Snake/PacMan with Unity too.

@Pramod Start with C# and then learn Unity. If you wish to learn Unreal afterwards, then learn C++ also. That's good place to get started with all of this. Starting with Python just to convert over to C#/C++ is like wanting to make wheels out of stone first so that you can make them out of rubber later. No point making them out of stone when you can start off making them out of rubber. Get what I mean?

To be honest, C++ is not easy to learn. It is extremely useful and powerful but it takes a lot of time to learn it. For you right now, I would either download pygame and make snake or Pac-Man or use Unity

https://www.pygame.org ^Check that out. I don't use Python to create games (normally, I just use it to create server-side utilities) but I always hear this library being mentioned by Python developers. It's worth checking out. Hope that helps you in some way.

Pac-Man and snake are pretty easy to do in python if you download pygame.

I'm with Jax on this one. I know Unreal also, but I'm a fanboy of Unity. You'll find a lot more support and resources for it, and overall the designer is better imo.

You can write Pseudo 3D game with Pygame like Doom: https://youtu.be/yASop1CxXfE Source code: http://github.com/mlambir/Pygame-FPS

Old super simple pixelized games are pretty easy if you download the pygame module. But more realistic games are just about impossible in python.

Go Unity! It has more free assets to try out than the other.
