Python

I taught Python for three years. Two years with Roger and one year with William, Leo and Liam.

This isn't exactly how I taught but I put up here some of the more interesting projects we worked on.

• Roger
• Basics
• Basics II Random Numbers
• Basics III List Structure – Advanced
• Functions The fourth lesson in this series.
• Lists The fifth lesson in this series
• Lists II Lesson six, about data structures.
• PyHang Game – Hangman – a simple game which illustrates the use of lists and string indexing.
• Dice Class – Classes and String Operations
• PyBog – Word search game, operating on a 2d array(list).
• Recursion in Python – recursion examples

When teaching people with more experience and with longer classes (ex. 2h).

• TimeMath – time.perf_ns and some math.
• PySPS – Scissor Paper Stone in Python. Usually taught over 2 classes (see notes).
• PyHang – Usually the second lesson.

The Wileo class.

• 202505i - insertion sort, select sort

• PyType – A typing game to reinforce lessons and introduce time.time_ns() etc.
• PyQuest I – A simple A/B/C adventure game. Can introduce classes here.
• PyRobots – robots in pure text in python

(At this point we can probably introduce pygame).

Sometime during season 2 or 3 we may develop this.

• PyGame Framework

• Press Start 2P (an arcade font) pressstart2p.ttf.zip
• CLACON2 (Classic Console 2) clacon2.ttf.zip
• IBM VGA 8×16 (based on 8×14 EGA) pxplus_ibm_vga8.ttf.zip
• IBM VGA 9×16 The most well-known VGA text font. pxplus_ibm_vga_9x16.ttf.zip

• Example 'Logo' file logo32x32.png

• PyGame Sprites I – Introducing Pygame Sprites

Python season 2 demonsrates how the basic concepts can be used by making games out of them! Since it is a more advanced class, we will structure most of the games around the PyGame Terminal, however, we will not always use it.

• Pygame Terminal
• PyMaze – a simple maze game in python, illustrating classes and maze algorithms
• Robots – in PyGame Terminal
• Turtle Suite
• Adventure Game

• tkinter pack The pack tutorial, featuring codemaster 1.0.
• tkinter calc The basic calculator, teaching .grid() and exploring classes for windows.
• tkinter calc ii Teaching binding, to increase User Experience.
• tkinter menus
• tkinter quiz show The Quiz Show! A quiz game, featuring radio buttons and more!

• Bullet Game
  • uses pressstart2p.ttf.zip

• 2048 game

unfinished

• 2.5d example
• 3d Box v1
• 3d Box v2
