Ideas

These look like they could be interesting: https://github.com/grantjenks/free-python-games To use this one, you should probably make a fork of it so you can have your own copy. I can help you with this. Then you can check out, make changes, and check them back in.

You can run a game like this: python -m freegames.snake

This has less cues for what to change, but are pretty simple games and have better documentation on the coding concepts: https://github.com/Ninedeadeyes/15-mini-python-games-tutorial-series

This actually looks really good (maybe the best of these since it starts really simple and builds). We could make a new repository on your github account and you could just work through making the games that it shows here https://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/
