You’ve seen the movies; superheroes need to train to truly unleash their powers. If you want to become Captain Code you need to write code, make that lots and lots of code.
But, copying code line by line is no fun. So, to help you out, we’ve included all of the code in the book right here neatly organized by chapter. Just scroll down to find the code you need, and then you can copy and paste it right into Visual Studio Code.
Yep, we’re just that nice!
How do you copy and paste the code? Follow these steps:
- Click on the desired Chapter below to see the available code listings for that chapter.
- Click on any code listing to display the code.
- Mouse up to the top right of the code listing to display popup buttons.
- Click the Copy button to copy the listing to the clipboard.
- Go back to Visual Studio Code.
- Open a .py file.
- Select Paste from the Edit menu to paste your copied code.

Chapter 12: Exploring
The text-based adventure game we create in Part 2 is a Space Adventure. We think space adventures are really cool (um, Star Wars anyone?), which is why we picked that story idea. But as promised, we’re also providing starters for a couple other stories. The basic game flow and logic for all three game starters are the same. So, although the lessons in Part 2 all use the Space Adventure as an example, you’ll be able to apply what you learn to any of the story ideas. So, pick whichever you prefer. Or try them all (if you do, please put each in a separate game folder to keep your code nicely organized).
