Game Design (Week 7)

Well, next week will be the moment everybody has been waiting for.  We will finish up our input/output to external files unit by creating a grade book that allows students to enter their assignments and grades, then will export the data to a printable sheet.  We will also take a look at how to use Python to send emails.  Once we are finished with this, we will get an introduction to game design and programming.  We will be using a free program called Construct 2 that will allow us to easily use what we have learned from coding structures and apply it to creating games.  We will look at image sprites and animations, game design, and show how we can put all of it together to make something we are happy with.  We will spend just under 2 weeks on this.  This class has been really working hard learning about Python, and this will be a nice change of pace for us by doing something a little more creative for a while.
