It's awesome that you're already making tutorials. Keep it up!

It's a bit confusing that near the beginning it says that on a Mac Python is already installed (yay!), but as soon as you get to the meat where PyGame is installed, it basically says you'll need to re-install Python if you're on a Mac. So the "already installed" bit isn't all that useful, or did I misread?

I think it's excusable to be a (mac) fanboy when you are that small.

I think what he's trying to say is that the Mac already has a preinstalled version of python which would allow you to get started and programming right away, however if you want to install pygame you would need to install a newer version of python which is more complete.

Yeah, sorry. I've learned a bit since I wrote that, my new tutorial is coming out and it explains installing PyGame and Python on both Mac and Windows.

Very cool! Reminds me of the games I was programming as a teen. Pygame seems like a pretty straight forward framework to easily start seeing things move on the screen which is really important to keep people motivated.

I think I was just about getting onto the internet when I was 12.

A little young to be feeling old, aren't you?

I didn't even have computer at that age. #thirdworldproblems

Funny---I did literally exactly this in my senior year of high school with some friends. Pygame is so easy, it's amazing what you can do.

I think what we build should still work!
