Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python

Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python will teach you how to make computer games using the popular Python programming language--even if you've never programmed before! Begin by building classic games like Hangman, Guess the Number, and Tic-Tac-Toe, and then work your way up to more advanced games, like a text-based treasure hunting game and an animated collision-dodging game with sound effects. Along the way, you'll learn key programming and math concepts that will help you take your game programming to the next level. Learn how to: Combine loops, variables, and flow control statements into real working programs Choose the right data structures for the job, such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples Add graphics and animation to your games with the ...

If you want a basic understanding of computer visionamp;#8217;s underlying theory and algorithms, this hands-on introduction is the ideal place to start. Youamp;#8217;ll learn techniques for object recognition, 3D reconstruction, stereo imaging, augmented reality, and other computer vision applications as you follow clear examples written in Python. Programming Computer Vision with Python explains computer vision in broad terms that wonamp;#8217;t bog you down in theory. You get complete code samples with explanations on how to reproduce and build upon each example, along with exercises to help you apply what youamp;#8217;ve learned. This book is ideal for students, researchers, and enthusiasts with basic programming and standard mathematical skills....

Learn to capture videos, manipulate images, and track objects with Python using the OpenCV Library Overview Set up OpenCV, its Python bindings, and optional Kinect drivers on Windows, Mac or Ubuntu Create an application that tracks and manipulates faces Identify face regions using normal color images and depth images In Detail Computer Vision can reach consumers in various contexts via webcams, camera phones and gaming sensors like Kinect. OpenCV's Python bindings can help developers meet these consumer demands for applications that capture images, change their appearance and extract information from them, in a high-level language and in a standardized data format that is interoperable with scientific libraries such as NumPy and SciPy.
