SUMMARY:3 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today We Do\n\nBefore when we spawn the Tower\, it always spawn the same tower over and over again regardless of which tower that we purchase. We fix this problem so the tower span is according to the Tower that the player purchase.\n\nHomework\nEveryone\n\nFix the TowerHotspot locations so when you spawn tower\, it will not spawn the tower on the road.\nWhen you click the TowerForPurchase sprite\, you need to reduce the self.coins according to the tower_for_purchase.price. You need to do this inside main.py\, I think the name of the method is tower_purchase_mouse_collision(self\, tower\, mouse). If self.coins is less than tower_for_purchase.price\, prevent the user from purchasing the tower. To prevent spawning of the tower\, in your code\, you should avoid creating TowerForPurchase.\n\nRaelyn\, Corey\, Bradley\n\nIf you did not do last week homework\, please do them. If you don’t do them\, you will get left behind and it is not fair to ask other students to wait for you if you don’t do your homework.\nI still see the enemy movement is not exactly on the road\, you have to fix this too.\nThe tower is the one that is supposed to launch projectile/fireball. In order to do this\, we need to do the following\n\nin main.py\, stop calling launch_fireball(self) from game_in_session(self).\nAdd 3 more parameters in launch_fireball method so it would be launch_fireball(self\,x\, y\, direction)\nAfter you do this\, we will make the tower launch the projectile next week in the class.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:3 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today We Do\n\nWhen user click to purchase the tower\, the self.coins are reduced according to the price of the tower.\nWe made the tower to be able to shoot projectile or fireball. We made one tower type to launch up (90 degree) and down (270 degree) fireball. We made another tower type to launch all for diagonal angles (45\, 125\, 215 and 305 degrees).\n\nHomework:\n\nSince you have 3 different types of tower\, made the 3rd tower type (the most expensive tower) to be able to launch projectile/fireball in all 8 angles: 0\,45\,90\,125\,180\,215\,270\,305.\nIf you have more than one type of projectile (let say arrow and spear and fireballs)\, create one method for each projectile in main.py. The method should be very similar to what you already have. For Corey\, Bradley and Raelyn\, the method you should copy should be launch_fireball(self\, x\,y\,direction) method. For Kyle and Anderson\, the method you should copy should be create_projectile(self\, x\,y\,direction). So you should have something like launch_fireball\, launch_arrow\, launch spear for examples. And then you should call these different methods from tower.py depending on the tower type.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework\nWe learned about sprites and added the bird sprite. I’ve uploaded the source code here.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a new file called “cloud.py” for the clouds that move across the screen.  You can use the cloud image “cloud1.png”.  Create a sprite class inside this file called “Cloud”\, and make sure it has these attributes:\n\nself.x\nself.y\nself.image\nself.screen\n\n\nAdd an update method to the Cloud class so that it can be drawn on the screen\nImport the Cloud class into main file\nCreate a self.cloud attribute inside the Birdie __init__ method.\nCall the self.cloud.update() method inside the game_loop method to draw the cloud on the screen.\nMake sure the cloud moves toward the left.
