[Tutor] Any 'graphical' ways of learning Python

[Adam Eyring]

I've liked turtle and make my graphing more interesting by asking for user
input such as dimensions, then graph automatically.

One starter source for using pygame graphics is
https://inventwithpython.com/pygame/
It jumps into game writing very quickly, but provides explanations of
commands.

The one I'm working on now is using the arcade library developed by a
python college professor:
http://arcade.academy
Many many examples of code (including videos of student projects) are
provided to help you write games that resemble many of our favorites.

Have you considered the turtle module.

Its limited to drawing shapes but does give some immediate results.
You can of course create functions to draw more sophisticated shapes
etc. And you write the code in an ordinary IDE/editor so its a good
transition from fully graphical scratch to fully text mode Python.
