Description: Free Python Games
        =================
        
        `Free Python Games`_ is an Apache2 licensed collection of free Python games
        intended for education and fun. The games are written in simple Python code and
        designed for experimentation and changes. Simplified versions of several
        classic arcade games are included.
        
        Python is one of the top-five most popular programming languages in the world
        and available for free from `Python.org <https://www.python.org/>`_. Python
        includes an extensive Standard Library distributed with your installation. The
        Standard Library has a module called Turtle which is a popular way to introduce
        programming to kids. Turtle was part of the original Logo programming language
        developed by Wally Feurzig and Seymour Papert in 1966. All of the games in
        `Free Python Games`_ are implemented using Python and its Turtle module.
        
        Starting in 2012, `Free Python Games`_ began as an after school program to
        teach programming to inner-city youth. The goal was to have fun as much as it
        was to learn. Since then the games have been improved and used in a variety of
        settings ranging from classrooms to summer day-camps.
        
        The games run anywhere Python can be installed which includes desktop computers
        running Windows, Mac OS, or Linux and older or low-power hardware such as the
        Raspberry Pi. Kids across the United States in grades 6th-12th have enjoyed
        learning about topics such as encryption and projectile motion through games.
        
        Each game is entirely independent from the others and includes comments along
        with a list of exercises to work through with students. Creativity and
        flexibility is important. There is no right or wrong way to implement a new
        feature or behavior! You never know which games students will engage with best.

        Quickstart
        ----------
        
        Installing Free Python Games is simple with `pip
        <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_::
        
          $ python3 -m pip install freegames
        
        Free Python Games supports a command-line interface (CLI). Help for the CLI is
        available using::
        
          $ python3 -m freegames --help
        
        The CLI supports three commands: list, copy, and show. For a list of all games
        run::
        
          $ python3 -m freegames list
        
        Any of the listed games may be played by executing the Python module from the
        command-line. To reference the Python module, combine "freegames" with the name
        of the game. For example, to play the "snake" game run::
        
          $ python3 -m freegames.snake
        
        Games can be modified by copying their source code. The copy command will
        create a Python file in your local directory which you can edit. For example,
        to copy and play the "snake" game run::
        
          $ python3 -m freegames copy snake
          $ python3 snake.py
        
        Python includes a built-in text editor named IDLE which can also execute Python
        code. To launch the editor and make changes to the "snake" game run::
        
          $ python3 -m idlelib.idle snake.py
        
        You can also access documentation in the interpreter with Python's built-in
        help function::
        
          >>> import freegames
          >>> help(freegames)
