Lesson 5.9 Basic Python and Graphics Challenges

Description

Use your knowledge of basic Python to create some fun programs! Students will create their own Ghost drawings from Pac-Man, a Guessing Game, and a drawing of their own choosing. This will allow students to get creative with their code to show what they have learned.

Objective

Students will be able to…

  • Synthesize the skills and concepts from the Python and Graphics, Python Control Structures, and the Functions and Parameters units to solve increasingly difficult programming challenges
  • Break down a large problem into smaller parts using Top Down Design, and solve each of these smaller parts using functions
  • Create helpful comments with preconditions and postconditions to help the reader understand the code
  • Find and fix bugs in large programs
