The game plan


Before we start to write any lines of code, we need to have our Python shell, terminal, and text editor open. We will be switching back and forth between these tools as we write and test lines of code throughout the chapter. Set up your monitor so that you are comfortable switching between each window.

Once you set up your workspace, go to the text editor window. We are going to outline our game in the text editor window using comments so that we can better organize our work.
