CLASS CREATION #3
Tuesday, October 1
This afternoon you can write
a Python program that creates the opening
position in a game of
checkers, as suggested by the picture
below. (You may also try variations on
this theme instead, so read all the bullet
points before starting!) Follow the
guidelines beneath the picture when creating
your image.
- First open a 401 by 401 screen filled with
a black
background.
- Using a nested for loop, create the
alternating light and dark brown
checkerboard. (You figure out the
correct dimensions for each square.)
These colors are given by the
triplets [229,203,128]
and [149,88,44],
respectively.
- Next use a regular for loop to draw a grid
of
horizontal and vertical black lines which
separate the light and dark
brown squares.
Now choose from among the following options
for finishing your creation.
- Draw the dark red checkers in the
appropriate
places using another nested for loop, then
do the same for the black
checkers. Try [130,0,0]
for the red color. You can add
highlights to your checkers (black border,
white highlight, etc.) as desired.
- OR Draw a circle on every single
square. Each circle should be either
red, yellow, orange or green, colored at
random. (Or four colors of your
choice.) See if you get any five in a
rows.
- OR Come up with your own way to
finish. As long as it involves circles
and for loops it will count. Have fun
and be creative!
If you need any guidance do not hesitate to
flag down Dr. V or ask a neighbor for
help. Once your program is running
satisfactorily, be sure to have Dr. V try it
out so that he can give you credit for your
creation.
