Open Source Games - Pygame - Education

This site caught my attention this morning. (http://www.stoicmonkey.com/2007/01/gpl-vroom-for-linux/.) It looks like good stuff. The way I landed there was from the pygame site. The game is a lot of fun. My son played it for half an hour last night.

The best thing about these games in my opinion is that I can read how they are programmed. Slowly the methods of programming are seeping in as I read them. What a great collection there is out there of good code. Most of the classic game genres are covered. Just some slight tweaking and most of these games can hold educational content.

I'm looking to be the tweaker and then pass the tweaking off to public school teachers and students.


I found another interesting site.
