Class Experience

In this course we are going to cover the intermediate level of Python each week and build a great foundation to be able to move onto doing bigger and better things with the language. We will have an advanced class that is a perfect transition after this one to get the full overview of Python. This class is going to be a lot of fun while we get to build games and projects and not just stare and replicate some boring lines of code. We hope to see you in class!
 
n this course, we'll be talking about some intermediate-level programming and computer science concepts using Python!

Learners who sign up for this course are expected to have a basic understanding of Python, including:

-How to use an appropriate coding environment

-Declaring and using variables

-Defining and calling functions

-Flow control statements including if/else statements and loops

 

Week 1-3: Tic-Tac-Toe

We begin the Intermediate section with the game Tic-Tac-Toe. We'll talk about error handling using a try/except structure, and making the computer follow a clear algorithm to win!

 

Week 4-8: Sudoku

In this project, we'll tackle the popular logic puzzle, Sudoku! We'll start by using multi-dimensional sequences to visualize our board, and then eventually use recursive functions to actually generate new, valid puzzles!

 

Week 9-12: Python Card Games

For this project, we'll be making two games using the same code! By writing object-oriented code, we'll make a Card class generic enough to work in any card game, including Blackjack and Go Fish, which we will work on together.

 

Week 13-16: Text Adventure Game

Our final project of the course will be a Text Adventure Game in the spirit of Zork or Colossal Cave Adventure. Using everythhing we've learned about so far, we'll be writing our own little story and using file I/O (Input/Output) to not only load in our descriptions, but also save and load our player's progress. By the end of this project, you'll be able to consider yourself an advanced Python programmer!

*We will add more games and projects as we go and will cycle back through if needed*
