Screenshots

Memory

Memory – match tile pairs of numbers to uncover the hidden image.

Tiles – shuffle image tiles to solve the puzzle.

Tic Tac Toe

Tic Tac Toe – the classic.

Requirements

These games were tested on a Win32 system running Python 2.7 with pygame installed.

Most games should work for Linux-type systems. Where needed (e.g. hangman.py), I tried to make the code cross-platform compatible.

For Python 3 compatibility, you’ll need to run the 2to3 tool, change division (/) to integer division (//), and convert return values of filter(..), map(..), etc. calls to lists.
