MTEC2002 - Programming Foundations for Emerging Technology - Spring 2012 - Midterm Project |
Proposal due by March 21st
Project due on March 28th
Create a small Python program. The Python program should be chosen from the list of projects below. You must submit your proposal project any time between March 14th (class 7) and March 21st (class 8). The proposal is simply an email containing:
- your name
- the project that you're planning on doing
- a brief description of your project
The actual project is due on March 28th (class 9). You must submit your source file(s) using github.
1. Text Adventure
Do Exercise 35 in Learn Python the Hard Way. Add at least 3 other rooms to the program
2. Rock Paper Scissors
Create a commandline version of rock-paper scissors.
Example Output: {% highlight bash %} Hi, what's your name?
Bob Hi Bob, let's play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors... Type "r", "p", or "s" to play rock, paper, or scissors respectively Type "quit" to leave the game
Bob: 0, computer: 0
(r)ock, (p)aper, or (s)cissors
p Bob played p, computer played r Player wins
Bob: 1, computer: 0
(r)ock, (p)aper, or (s)cissors
{% endhighlight %}
3. Exploring Python's Built-In Modules
Python comes with many built-in modules. Research one of these modules and create a small program that uses it. Here are some lists of modules:
For example:
- use the regular expression library, regex, to enhance the pluralizer function that we created in class 3
- using the [datetime library] (http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html) write a utility that asks a user for their birthday; it will determine how many weeks it is until that date
- try connecting to and retrieving information from a simple database called sqlite3
- use the turtle library to draw a picture. make sure you:
- use at least 4 functions that we did not cover in class
- use a random element
- use a list and a loop (while or for)
