Python Turtle In-Class Final Project Due: Monday, June 3 Value 20%

Instructions: Download and save this document in ADOBE and hand it in as your final course submission.
Blue textboxes should be completed at the start of your project. Green textboxes should be done towards the end of your
project.

Your task: To create ONE of the following in Trinket during class time
(daily check-ins will be done - Failure to use class time effectively will result in a reduced score)
• Interactive Scene
This could be something such as an aquarium, a starry night sky, a busy city scene with people moving about -
anything goes! Not everything about this must be realistic - you could add some sort of bizarre feature that
breaks up the monotony of the everyday scene (i.e.: Godzilla shows up in your city scene?!?!

• Game
Create your own original game using inspiration from the games we built in class. You can get inspiration from
tutorials, but you can not submit an online tutorial as a final project. Most of what you do would have been
covered in class. You may refer to part of a tutorial if you are looking to do something new. Be sure to
reference any tutorials in your code. Students may include tutorial links, but specifically mention which part of
the tutorial you used. i.e.: I got this function from a tutorial (provide link), where I learned how to spawn
bullets.
State the goal of your final project: – do this before you start

The goal of my project is to create a simple yet entertaining and replayable video game.

I want to make a game that has solid fundamental mechanics, yet is easy to create.

Were you able to achieve the goal of your final project? Explain. You may wish to highlight any difficulties you
encountered.

I believe that i was able to achieve the goal of making an entertaining video game.
The game is simple and could easily be made more challenging if i had more experience

The difficulties i encountered was some issues with making a restart button, fixing the
firerate of the character, and having the virus teleport from folder to folder.

Please provide detailed instructions, so I can test all the features of your game/scene. These
instructions should also appear in Trinket under instructions

Reflection Questions

1. Did you make use of any tutorials (turtle race, basket catch, or space starter), or get any
help when completing your project?
I used the space starter for help when completing my project

I also used the title screen help project thing

I used google to figure out my fire rate issue(more specifically stack overflow website, and
i asked my dad for help with the end screen reset button.

I watched some tutorial on youtube such as Python - how to program a 2d zombie survival
game

i watched some other tutorials but didn't understand much, as they were using things like
classes and other more advanced forms of code.

2. What improvements would you like to make in the next version of your game/scene?

1. I would add a second weapon/ ability, an idea i had was to make a simple sniper
weapon that would shoot bullets fast but with a slow firerate.
One of my ability ideas was to have a bullet storm ability that recharges after 10 points, it
would work by turning the player left 5 degrees, shooting, and then continuing that for
about 30 repetitions

2. I would have liked to have made an endless gamemode and a story game mode. The
endless gamemode would increasingly get harder and more than 1 virus would be on
screen

3. I would like to have added a boss at the end when you reach 30 points. The screen
would flicker and the virus would slow down a lot, but teleport everywhere, have a ton of
health, and slowly advance on the player.

4. I wish i had implemented a health system, with 3 hearts that decreased after getting hit
by the virus

 3. Based on your self assessment from the rubric above, what overall grade in this project
do you deserve? Explain.

I believe i deserve a 95 percent on this final project. The reason i belive this is because i
have made multiple improvements to origninal class code; such as ammo, restart game,
start game, firerate, changing virus position after getting shot. Much of my learning was
out of class and of my own volition.

Another reason i believe this, is because with slightly more time and experience, this
template of a game could be easily refined into a much more advanced and for the lack
of a better word, 'fun' game.

The improvements listed above i truthfully believe i could add in a weeks time which
demonstrate the ability for my game to improve

4. Congratulation, you are almost done your first course in Computer Science! How has
your opinion of Computer Science changed since taking this course?

My opinion of CS is that it is really fun but only when you do well. It is a weird feedback
loop but when you get the code right, it is amazing. When you do not get a good result
with you code, then things can get depressing and incredibly frustruating.
One thing i love about computer science is the need to constantly improve, i love things
like sports and games and working out because of the fact that i can see my progress,
CS is the same.

My dad having a phd in CS really pushes me to become a CS person in the future

though.

I think CS is the future and will work on CS over the summer.
