Lesson 4 Python Pbr

This lesson focuses on using variables to maintain and display scores in a Python game, including adding responsive feedback based on performance. Students are encouraged to design coding solutions using pseudocode to enhance their understanding of programming logic. The lesson concludes with a review of key concepts and a homework assignment related to pseudocode.

Learning Outcomes
–Lesson 4
Demonstrate use of variables
to add score to a game
Design a coding solution using
Pseudocode
Add responsive score feedback
to the game
Remember this from last lesson?
Maintaining score throughout game
With just a few lines of extra
code you should be able to
maintain the score throughout
the game and give some
feedback at the end.
Open your file saved from last
lesson called maths_questions
Code to add the score
Score = score + 1
Think, pair share
Do you understand what
score = score + 1
means?
Display the score at the end of the game
What code would you have to
type in to display the score at the
end of the game?
Answer
print (score)
Even better if you did this:
print (“Your score was “ +str
(score))
Why do you need to type in
str (score) ?
str (score)
The score variable is an integer
Python cannot add it to the end of
a string.
So the str() function converts it to
a string for the purpose of this line
of code.
Python cannot add strings and
integers together when printing
12_times_table
Open the 12_times_table saved
from last lesson.
Add a scoring feature to each
question.
Add a line that prints out the
score at the end.
(Optional) How could you deduct a
point if the answer is wrong?
Plan a solution using Pseudocode
Think, pair, share
Find out what is meant by
Pseudocode
Pseudocode
Pseudocode is a name given to a
technique for designing and planning
a coding solution that does not
involve the actual code or
programming language.
The aim is enable someone to code a
solution without using the correct
syntax and therefore think more
creatively.
Pseudocode it from lesson 2

What would the pseudocode be


for this program? Work with a
partner and write your solution
down.
Pseudocode it from lesson 2
It could look something like this:

print “type in your name”


input user name
print “nice to meet you” + user
name
Other programs
Look at some of the other
programs you have written and
see if you can write down the
pseudocode for them.
Add responsive feedback to your game.
You could simply report the score
back at the end of the game.
Even better if – you could give an
appropriate feedback response
based on how high or low their
score was at the end of the game.
Write the pseudocode first, then
try writing it in Python.
Responsive feedback solution
score = 0
if score > 2:
print (“Well done!”)
else
print (“Oh dear”)
Responsive feedback solution
Even better if:
“Well done, you scored 3 out of 3 –
very clever”, “Oh dear, you only
scored 1 out of 3 – why not try
again to improve”
Review
