Welcome to Learn Programming: Python – Remake! The goal of this game (more of an interactive course) is to introduce beginners to the wonders of the world of Computer Science! The game has have two core components:
- Lessons: An interactive course to teach you how to think computationally, how to write programs in Python, and how to design classes using the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
- Challenges: Multiple choice, short answer, and math problems to test your understanding of Python, computational thinking, and OOP. These challenges are embedded throughout the Lessons, so you can practice your understanding of concepts in real-time under an Active Learning framework.
This game assumes absolutely zero prerequisite background. We hope you will join us as we explore the wonders of Programming in Python!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- How do I adjust the settings of the game?
- All game settings can be adjusted via the “Preferences” section of the Main Menu, which can be accessed at any time by pressing “Escape” (keyboard) or “Start” (controller)
- How is “Learn Programming: Python – Remake” different from the original “Learn Programming: Python – Retro”?
- The game engine behind “Learn Programming: Python – Retro” was built from scratch by the developers purely out of interest, and as such, it lacked many technical features of modern game engines
- “Learn Programming: Python – Remake” is a ground-up remake of the game using the Ren’Py game engine, which is commonly used to create visual novel games
- There were some lesson text/images that were omitted from “Learn Programming: Python – Retro” due to technical limitations of the game engine which have been readded to “Learn Programming: Python – Remake”, but the lesson text is very largely the same
- The key new features in “Learn Programming: Python – Remake” are the following:
- Cleaner modern user interface (e.g. support for up to 4K resolution, nice fonts, images, ambient background music, etc.)
- Steam Achievements
- Ability to skip challenges and track progress
- Support for Steam Community Overlay
- Support for the Steam Link app
- Support for Steam Remote Play
- Because of how it was packaged, “Learn Programming: Python – Retro” had an issue with false positive antivirus flags (see the “Learn Programming: Python – Retro” Store Page FAQs for more info); this is completely fixed in “Learn Programming: Python – Remake” because of its use of Ren’Py

A highly recommended introduction to Python. It is very well written and has interesting exercises to check your understanding of the material. Although I was already familiar with most of the content as someone with a few years dabbling in Python, I learned a few things and enjoyed my play through.

EDIT: The Dev of this game gave a TED-Talk. 😮 *Tip-my-hat* Well done, sir!

They actually listened - AMAZING!
When the original version of this game came out, it triggered people's antivirus.
So much so, that the Devs actually told us in their FAQ that we should add the game's install-folder to the Antivirus's Whitelist.
I had a short exchange with the Dev and told him, if he knows about it, he should fix it.
I then proceeded to refund the game.
And here I am, a few months later, surprised that they actually listened!
I immediately bought the game and am super happy with it!
Runs smooth as butter so far, the explanations are easy and understandable, there are even some interactive elements!
I'm only at chapter 4 so far, but I like it very much!
Especially these little interactive exercises lift the learning-experience above what you could get from YouTube. Yes, there are excellent videos out there, but having an interactive exercise right after learning it is the best way reinforce the learned material.
There are also some links in the game to external content, which I love. It keeps the game clean of clutter. I followed a bunch of those links to get more background-info. I love this optional deep-dive! The info is there, for the interested, but doesn't complicate the game for the ones struggling already. A perfect middleground.
To the Dev: Thank you for providing a user-friendly, approachable and butter-smooth game! Your extra effort switching engines got noticed and is much appreciated! It's the now clean user-experience that adds so much value! I can now instantly enjoy the game with steam's typical one-click install.
Thank you for taking the time to polish the product, it is much appreciated!

Just completed Chapter 1 and I have to say I am loving this program. I have never had programming explained to me in such a way that is so easy to understand. Others may disagree, but I like the fact that there isn't an answer key or explanation to incorrect answers. It forces you to keep thinking and trying different things to solve the code. That is how it works in the real world after all. There isn't anyone constantly standing over your shoulder pointing out every mistake you make. That is why we still have exploits and hacks today. You just have to try and be the best programmer you can be. Learn from your mistakes.

A good introduction to the Python programming language and the programming mindset. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about Python to actually putting together snippets of code and understanding the basics of functions, syntax, etc.
There's not a whole lot here, and the examples are fairly limited for reinforcing your learning, but this game has set me on the path to learning more from other sources, which seems to be its goal.

perfect and very understandable for learning Python.

Not bad of a game overall but try to make it more exciting by giving us an experience to code rather than a choice (A,B,C,D). Less words so that we wont easily zone out when reading. Keep up!

This is a good product for learning the basics of python.
Would be better with a larger variety of questions for each section and an explanation on for the correct answer.
