Day 68 of learning #Python ๐๐
Today I drew a car using the Turtle module!
โ
Used a for loop with forward() & left() to draw the car body
โ
Used .goto() coordinates to draw roof shape
โ
Fill each shape with random RGB colors
โ
Used .circle() to draw both wheels #CodeNewbi

Letโs see how it all comes together.
โ
Used class inheritance to extends Turtle directly
โ
Called super().init() to inherit.
โ
Used global variables to mutate
โ
Used *= -1 to reverse ball direction
โ
Used *= 0.9 to increase speed

Iโm currently building a roadmap for my Pong project.
One of my main goals is to create both the left & right paddles using a single function, so I donโt repeat code. I also plan to create functions to handle moving the paddles up and down.
Keeping things simple and reusable.

Of course, thereโs no Pong without the ball.
By the end of this project, I want to create a ball that moves and bounces off both the paddles and the walls. I also plan to display the score on the screen as the game progresses.
Thatโs when it really starts to feel like a game.

For todayโs project in #BuildingInPublic, Iโm building a small Pong game. It follows a similar coding concept to the Snake game, but I like to think of them as two projects that are similar yet different at the same time.
Wish me luck ๐

โ
Used screen.onkey() to bind arrow keys to movement
โ
Used .distance() to detect food collision
โ
Speed increases on every food eaten
โ
Used if name == "main" to run the game safely
From Snake class โ Food โ Scoreboard โ Game ๐

Today I am finally finishing the Snake project after a lot of confusion, I even got stuck for a while.
When I got stuck, I broke all the classes in my code apart and then put them back together, and I think that really helped me understand the project better.

Scoreboard class for my Snake
โ
Used .hideturtle() to display text without showing the cursor
โ
Used .clear() & .write() to refresh the score on screen
โ
Prefixed _display() to signal it's a private method
โ
Increments score by 5 per food

Day 65 of learning #Python ๐๐จ
โ
Reused the RGB colors extracted for my Hirst painting project
โ
Used random.choice() to pick a new color on each refresh
โ
Used random.randint() to spawn food at random coordinates
โ
The snake changes color to match the food it eats ๐

Building the Food class for my Snake today! ๐๐ฒ
I created this using colors from the Hirst painting project. I decided to make the food different colors & have the snake change color to match whatever it eats. It was fun since I was able to adapt the code from my Day 61 project

Used constants for directions
โ
Stored snake segments as a list of Turtle objects

Built move() by shifting each segment to the position ahead
โ
Prevented reverse movement with heading checks
โ
Added collision detection
