Python Playground: Geeky Projects for the Curious Programmer

Python is a powerful programming language thatâ€™s easy to learn and fun to play with. But once youâ€™ve gotten a handle on the basics, what do you do next?

Python Playground is a collection of imaginative programming projects that will inspire you to use Python to make art and music, build simulations of real-world phenomena, and interact with hardware like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Youâ€™ll learn to use common Python tools and libraries like numpy, matplotlib, and pygame to do things like:
â€“Generate Spirograph-like patterns using parametric equations and the turtle module
â€“Create music on your computer by simulating frequency overtones
â€“Translate graphical images into ASCII art
â€“Write an autostereogram program that produces 3D images hidden beneath random patterns
â€“Make realistic animations with OpenGL shaders by exploring particle systems, transparency, and billboarding techniques
â€“Construct 3D visualizations using data from CT and MRI scans
â€“Build a laser show that responds to music by hooking up your computer to an Arduino

Programming shouldnâ€™t be a chore. Have some solid, geeky fun with Python Playground.

The projects in this book are compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
