Rainbow Challenge

In this challenge we are going to use our coding skills to create some nice colour patterns. We will first look at the code given to create a rainbow effect to understand how it works. We will then adapt this…

Turtle Maze Challenge

Your challenge is to guide the turtle through the maze. To do so you will need to use the following instructions: myPen.forward(100) to move forward by 100 pixels, myPen.right(90) to turn right by 90 degrees, myPen.left(90) to turn left by…

3D Printing Programming

Using a “scratch like” programming language you can create your own 3D models and export them in a format recognised by 3D Printers. Click on the picture above to access the BeetleBlocks project:

Minecraft + Python Challenges

Learning Objectives Another approach to boost your pogramming skills is to learn how to code for Minecraft. Using Python code you can interact with the Minecraft world to for instance move the player or add blocks to build structures. For…

Batman vs. Python Turtle

For this challenge we are focusing on a set of equations used to draw different sections of the Batman logo: f(x) = 1.5*sqrt((‑abs(abs(x) – 1)) * abs(3 – abs(x))/((abs(x) – 1)*(3 – abs(x)))) * (1+abs(abs(x) – 3)/(abs(x)- 3)) * sqrt(1…

Optical Illusions

Which of the above two purple circles is bigger? Learning Objectives In this challenge you will use Python Turtle to draw geometric shapes and optical illusions. To help you we have created three functions as follows: drawLine() to draw a…

3D Challenge

The aim of this challenge is to draw a cube in 3D and to make it rotate on the screen. Drawing 3D shapes on a screen (2D) requires some mathematical formulas to convert 3D (x,y,z) coordinates into 2D coordinates (x,y).…

Snowflake Challenge

Learning Objectives In this challenge we will use our Python Turtle skills to draw a snowflake. We will use iteration (For Loop) to recreate each branch of the snowflake. Step 1: The first branch First, let’s recap on the main…

Gradient Generator

Learning Objectives By completing this challenge you will gain a good understanding of how RGB colour codes and hexadecimal colour codes work and you will apply this understanding to produce a complex algorithm. Challenge #1 Complete the code below so…

Python Turtle – Sequence

Looking at the following code can you explain the purpose of each Python Turtle instruction: myPen.color(“red”) myPen.forward(100) myPen.right(90) myPen.left(45) myPen.penup() myPen.pendown() myPen.goto(0,0) myPen.circle(50) X and Y coordinates? Quadrant? Check the above picture. Can you state three facts about X and…
