ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many thanks to everyone at No Starch Press who worked hard to bring you this book, including developmental editor Liz Chadwick, production editor Riley Hoffman, copyeditor Anne Marie Walker, proofreaders Emelie Burnette and Meg Sneeringer, and production manager Serena Yang. Thank you to Tyler Ortman, who commissioned the book, and Bill Pollock, for his support on this project. Josh Ellingson created the stunning cover artwork. Thank you to Amanda Hariri, Anna Morrow, and Rachel Barry for their support with marketing.

Rafael Pimenta designed the awesome graphics for the game. Daniel Aldred was the technical editor, testing the code and providing feedback on the text. Thanks to them both.

We wouldn’t have been able to create this book without the dedicated work of the open source community. Daniel Pope created Pygame Zero and helped with research queries. You can learn about some more cool features of Pygame Zero that weren’t required for our mission at http://pygame-zero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. Pygame Zero extends Pygame, so thanks also to the Pygame development team and to the wider Python community who contribute to its success.

NASA allows us to use many of its images to tell our story, for which we are grateful. Its work is hugely inspiring.

Thank you to Russell Barnes, Sam Alder, Eben Upton, and Carrie Anne Philbin at the Raspberry Pi Foundation who helped to get this project off the ground.

Finally, thank you for reading the book! If you enjoy it, please consider sharing a review, tweet, or blog post to help others to discover it. In any event, I hope you enjoy it.
