Coding games will power up your learning. Here are some ideas to get you rolling.
You can create classic text-based games with Python. For example, here's a version of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Can you invent a smarter opponent, or is the game pure chance?
Starting with a pile of stones, each player takes turns removing 1, 2 or 3 stones and the player who removes the last stone wins. Can you figure out a strategy guaranteed to win?
Adding graphics is simple, too! Turtle Graphics. Create colorful drawings and games. Processing.py. A variant of the popular language Processing for visual artists.
Act fast to defend the planet from an alien invasion! Add your own game art to spice things up.
The game may be simple but the head-to-head competition can get intense! How might you design a computer opponent that gets better as you do?
Navigate your way safely among a perilous field of space debris. Level up your game by adding thrusters and movement or flying saucers zooming by as they take aim at you.
Spot the pattern and then hop your way safely across a busy highway. Change up the terrain by adding a river with logs, speeding trucks, or whatever else you can imagine.
Each morsel of food you gobble up makes your body longer and longer. Careful not to collide with your tail! The difficulty intensifies as you grow.
Quick reflexes and careful coordination are needed to clear the screen. The creative possibilities for special power-ups make this game a fun one to design and play.
