 You will most definitely need a laptop or other computer that is capable of running pyglet and python. Windows, Linux or OSX is supported for this course. The most important thing you will need is the [http://www.section9.co.uk/PythonCourse.zip PythonCourse.zip] file which contains all the couse notes, readme files and python exercises we'll be doing.
+All the information is held in the '''README.txt''' file (so please, really DO read it! ). There are resources, PDFs, notes and many other things in the zip but to make life easy for us all, if you can install python and pyglet before the day, it'd be a great help!
