SUMMARY:4 PM – Python OOP – Darin
DESCRIPTION:Today We Did:\n\nContinued learning about dictionaries\, how to loop through them\, and how to use if statements with them.\n\nHomework:\nCreate a new file called Aug5_DictionaryCopyHW.py and upload it into the google drive when you are finished. \n\nDo try it yourself page 99 numbers 6-1 and 6-2\n\nCreate a second file called Aug5_DictionaryCopyHW2.py and upload it into the google drive when you are finished. \n\nCopy codes form pages 100-101 (in the third edition) or 99 – 101 (in the second edition). Specifically\, you want to copy down the topics: Looping Through a Dictionary until Looping through all keys in a dictionary.\n\nNOTES:\nYou can contact me via ddjapri@ayclogic.com for any questions or concerns. \nExpected holidays: https://www.ayclogic.com/observed-holidays/

SUMMARY:5 PM – Python Game Dev – Darin
DESCRIPTION:Today We Did:\n\nWe reviewed each individual project.\nWe continued on Shoot Balloon project by adding bad balloon variants\, as well as sound effects\n\nHomework:\nContinue working on your individual project according to the assignment listed in your project proposal. \nFOR EVERYONE\, make sure you call self.kill() to remove the sprites when they go out of the screen. \n\n\n\nChris\n\nUpdate your project proposal to detail what you are adding due August 12.\nMake the player\, enemy\, and projectiles smaller so the arena is larger\, and increase the player movement speed.\nAdd more than one enemy in one field as they are small to ramp up difficulty. You may want to introduce a variable to keep of how many levels you have been through\nAdd game landing page\, game win/loss page\, and a game credits page.\n\n\nBrandon\nExtra idea: introduce homing projectilesUpdate your project proposal for what you are going to do due on August 12\, as well as what you have accomplished.\n\nTo edit: \n\nMake the projectile image better by rotating\, and then using transform.scale as in dragon birdie\nAdd collision detection between player and projectile. If a player get hit\, make player’s health goes down\, and make the projectile disappear.\nAdd game modes – landing page\, credits page\, game over page.\nAfter this\, you need to make the game more complicated\, perhaps by introducing levels after a timer runs up\, where different projectiles spawn in (including straight projectiles)\n\n\nDakota\n\nUpdate the project proposal.\nCreate different game modes for landing page\, game in session\, credits page\, game over.\nEdit the projectile using fire alpaca for a more visually aesthetic design.\nMake 2 enemies spawn at once at certain intervals so the game has a more randomizing mechanic.\nAttempt to create an explode class that appears when a collision happens\, and disappears (by using self.kill() in the explode class) after perhaps 3 seconds\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES:\nYou can contact me via ddjapri@ayclogic.com for any questions or concerns. \nThe final project is due August 19.
