See I look at this and absolutely amazed. I wish I could make something like this but I have no idea of how to event start.

I tried making a Settlers game in Python/PyGame and so far all I have been able to do is generate the board: https://gist.github.com/sareon/5268205 - I've been told I am not properly discretizing the difference between the drawing of the game and the logic of the game which is going to hinder the development of the game.

I have a BSc and an MSc in CS - focusing on NLP and Machine Learning, so I have an idea how to program, just not how to program games like the Minecraft clone or my own Settlers game. I've tried looking for tutorials and resources online and I've followed the InventWithPython which showed me how to make a simple game similar to how I started making my own. Clearly it was inefficient for a larger game.

What are some good resources out there that can help me learn how to make games such as the Minecraft clone or even how to make my own settlers game actually be a useable game?
