Overview
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. Youāll learn to use common Python tools and libraries like numpy, matplotlib, and pygame to do things like:
āGenerate Spirograph-like patterns using parametric equations and the turtle module
āCreate music on your computer by simulating frequency overtones
āTranslate graphical images into ASCII art
āWrite an autostereogram program that produces 3D images hidden beneath random patterns
āMake realistic animations with OpenGL shaders by exploring particle systems, transparency, and billboarding techniques
āConstruct 3D visualizations using data from CT and MRI scans
āBuild a laser show that responds to music by hooking up your computer to an Arduino
Programming shouldnāt be a chore. Have some solid, geeky fun with Python Playground.
The projects in this book are compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
