Month: October 2018

Happy Halloween all!  I hope you have a good day.

After you finish your Thermostat program then it’s time for Code Combat.  This is a fun way to build your Python skills.  Click here to access our very own Code Combat classroom page.

1. running a program in IDLE
2. saving a program in IDLE

Continue working on your Python Thermostat program.

Welcome to the Cough and Cold edition of Programming.

IF IDLE works on your computer you can try writing a program.  A Mad Libs program.  Click here for details. 

Or you may continue working with codehs.com.

Good morning – I am home sick with that cold.

Once again, please check to see if IDLE has been installed on your computer.  If it is, try a quick IDLE turtle program to test it out:

1. the district’s efforts to fix IDLE have continued over the weekend.  Let’s test again.  If it works, try a simple turtle program.  Click here for a turtle refresher.  Click here for a turtle code reference sheet.
2. starter code: 
3. continue your work with codehs.com.

The Developers Club meets Wednesday’s at lunch in room 127.  If you are interested please join us – all are welcome.  Feel free to take this survey so that they club can be ready for you.

Developers Club first meeting today at lunch in 127 (right here).  Talk programming, plans for the year, what will the first program be?

Please check – again – to see if IDLE is available on your computer. This app lets us program outside of codehs.com.  I was all set to use it and then…it started disappearing again.

long range plans: once IDLE is stable and working, build programs.  Also testing out a game development version of Python called Pygame.

today – please continue your work on codehs.com.  Thanks.

today: continue your progress in codehs and the Basic Python section.

minimum day today
2nd, 4th, go to your 6th period, rally, the rest of 6th – go home at 12:50pm.

today-

1. I want to check on the computers and see if installations are working:
   1. start menu should show Adobe Photoshop, etc>
   2. look for an app called IDLE.  Start it.  Does it work?
2. move into the Basic Python and Console interaction section.  Now that you have a foundation of knowledge thanks to Karel, this section expands the usefulness of Python beyond creating amazing works of art.  Like displaying messages or collecting a wider variety of user input.

Jury duty postponed until end of January.

today – continue with codehs.com:
1. finish up with your friend the Turtle if you have not done so.
2. move into the Basic Python and Console interaction section.  Now that you have a foundation of knowledge thanks to Karel, this section expands the usefulness of Python beyond creating amazing works of art.  Like displaying messages or collecting a wider variety of user input.
