Chapter 3: Encapsulation
Learn how to write cleaner code by encapsulating data and methods.
Chapter 4: Abstraction
Abstraction is a powerful tool that will make your code more robust and reusable.
Chapter 5: Inheritance
The crux of OOP is the ability to inherit data and behaviors from other classes
Chapter 6: Polymorphism
Polymorphism is one of the best ideas we've had as developers, learn how it works.
Chapter 7: Pygame
Setup and install Pygame.
Chapter 8: Gameloop
Write a gameloop that renders the game at 60 frames per second.
