SUMMARY:4 PM - Intro To Python - Darin
DESCRIPTION:What We Did Today:\n\nLearnt and improved how we connect different shaped together using geometry.\nLearnt how to use a function to combine different shapes together to create an object.\n\nHomework:\nYour homework this week is to make a function for the right arm as we did in class for the right leg. \nYou should complete this function: \ndef makeRightArm(x\, y):\n……….drawRectangle(__\, __\, 100\, 20\, “black”)\n……….drawRectangle(__\, __\, 20\, 70\, “red”) \nand here you need to figure out the x and the y positions\, where the second rectangle’s x and y is relative to the first rectangles. \nIf I originally had \n drawRectangle(-30\, -50\, 20\, 100\, “black”)\ndrawRectangle(-30\, -150\, 55\, 20\, “yellow”) \nThen my function coordinates would become: \ndrawRectangle(x\, y\, 20\, 100\, “black”)\ndrawRectangle(x\, y-100\, 55\, 20\, “yellow”) \nwhere the second rectangle’s coordinates depend on the difference between the second rectangle and the firs rectangle. \nWhile you’re at it\, finish the rest of the robot (left leg and left arm). \n \nNotes:\nYou can contact me via ddjapri@ayclogic.com for any questions or concerns.

SUMMARY:5 PM - Python Game Development - Darin
DESCRIPTION:What We Did Today:\n\nStarted on the Flappy Bird Project\, where we initialized and spawned a tube to moves backwards in our screen.\n\nHomework:\n\nCreate a new Player class\, and (using Birdie’s player class as reference)\, make the Player spawn on the screen and flap its wings. You do not have to make the player bird move in different directions since it only goes forwards.\nRemove all the unnecessary code as you copy it from Birdie.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES:\nI forgot to mention this in class\, but if you are working in the “master” branch\, you should copy your code first and then checkout your own branch from the lower left git logo. \nIf you do not see any other branches other than master\, then you should “update” your project first. \nDo not push and commit until you are in your own branch. \nYou can contact me via ddjapri@ayclogic.com for any questions or concerns.

DESCRIPTION:  \nWhat We Did Today:\n\nCreated a function for the right arm\, showing how to create a function for a collection of rectangles.\nLearnt how to use the t.circle which we engineered into a makeCircle function that allows us to place the circle anywhere on the screen\, with any size\, and any color.\n\nHomework:\nWork on your final project proposal!

SUMMARY:5 PM - Python Game Development - Darin
DESCRIPTION:What We Did Today:\n\nContinued on the Flappy Duck project\, where we made the player flap\, as well as added hit-boxes around the player and tubes\, and we added collision detection.\nLearnt how to crop images using FireAlpaca (a free image editing software).\n\nHomework:\n\nAttempt to make the player bird “flap”.\nYou can start by making the bird automatically fall downwards first.\nSet your speed to a negative value\, and then change the y position of the bird by adding the y position with the speed value: self.y += speed\nBut every time the bird falls downwards (in other words\, every time the update() method is called)\, decrease the value of “speed” so that the bird falls faster.\nAfter this\, check for the space key to be pressed\, and if it does get pressed\, set the value to a positive value.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES:\nYou can contact me via ddjapri@ayclogic.com for any questions or concerns.

DESCRIPTION:Today We Did \n\nContinued creating the enemy class\nReviewed dictionaries to shorten the amount of code we need\nReviewed static methods (static just means you don’t need to make an object to call the method)\nYou can always find the code we wrote in class in my Gitlab repository here:\nhttps://gitlab.com/gsugiart/tue-6-pm-sebastian-apr-2024\nAYC Logic’s observed holidays: https://www.ayclogic.com/observed-holidays/\nIn case you need anything\, feel free to email me at sebastian@ayclogic.com\n\nHomework\n\nPlease be ready to answer the homework question in class next week.\nHomework: The homework will only be one question\, so I want you to spend 5-10 minutes trying to find the answer before you give up. It’s ok if you come to class without knowing the answer\, but I want you to try and really think about \nQuestion: How many times is update called for every class that has it?\nHints:\n\nThe answer is an integer\, a whole number like 1/2/3/etc.\nThe answer is stored in a variable that we created.\nAnother way of thinking about this is how exactly pygame determines how many images are drawn\, which we have to tell it somehow in main.py

Change the width and height of left_arm and right_arm rectangles. Draw left arm and right arm.\n\n. both Tristan and Nathan\, create project proposal – upload to google drive.\n\nIn a piece of paper\, draw your project proposal with colors\n\nsample proposal – \nanother sample – \n\n\nLook at project criteria – https://www.ayclogic.com/intro-to-python-final-project-criteria/\nFor sample of the finished versions from other students\, you can look at https://www.ayclogic.com/python-projects/\nProject proposal is worth 10% of your project.\n\n\nInside may_16_many_shapes.py\, finish the face_1 function.
