  4. Why Python? • Our class isn’t about Java, or Alice, or Scratch, or Jeroo, or Python • It’s about solving problems • And any language can be used for that • Python allows us to work with problems without as much overhead Cypress Woods High School

  5. Why Python? English-y Less focus on syntax Still lets us target the AP topic list Cross platform Indentation Cypress Woods High School

  6. Why not Java? We can teach basics first … which gets us to problem solving faster Cypress Woods High School

  7. Basics First public class MyClass { int someVariable; public static void main(String[] args) { // Do something cool } } Cypress Woods High School

  8. Basics First # Do something cool Cypress Woods High School

  9. Still have OOP class MyClass(object): def __init__(self): #constructor def printAList(self, aList): for x in aList: print x Cypress Woods High School

  10. Leading up to Python • Start in the 2nd semester • 1st semester • Scratch • Alice • CS Unplugged Cypress Woods High School

  11. Leading up to Python - Jeroo Cypress Woods High School

  12. Leading up to Python - Jeroo Cypress Woods High School

  13. Starting with “real” Python Cypress Woods High School

  14. Pygame – Making Pictures Cypress Woods High School

  15. Drawings pygame.draw.rect(……) pygame.draw.circle(……) pygame.draw.line(……)

  16. Methods def drawShape(target, x, y): pygame.draw.circle(target,(0,0,0),(x,y),5) Cypress Woods High School

  17. Animation while True: xPosition = xPosition + xSpeed yPosition = yPosition + ySpeed if xPosition >= 800 or xPosition <= 0: xSpeed = xSpeed * -1 if yPosition >= 600 or yPosition <= 0: ySpeed = ySpeed * -1 drawShape(screen, xPosition, yPosition)
