Tasks

The instructions for each task:

• Task 1: Word Guesser — Use while loops to implement a word guessing game. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 2: Concentric Circles — Write turtle graphics code to draw concentric circles. This task is an alternate for the musical scales task. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 3: Musical Scales — Write code using the wavesynth music library create musical scales. This task is an alternate for the concentric circles task. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

About this Project

These tasks will give you practice with basic while and for loops, while also reviewing material on conditionals. You will be creating a word-guessing game using while loops, and writing functions that use loops to created nested turtle graphics circles or nested wavesynth musical phrases.

You must do two tasks this week: the wordGuesser task and then one of either the circles or scales tasks.

If you want to find a partner to work with for this project, use this Google Sheet to do so.

Reminders

• Remember to download the starter code for each task from the Potluck server.

Time Estimate

Our per-task estimate for this project is 2.5-3.5 hours, plus up to an hour of reading.

How to turn in this Project

• Upload your tasks via the Potluck server by the deadline (Tue Feb 24 at 23:00).

  • For wordGuesser, each team member must submit wordGuesser.py.
  • For circles, each team member must submit circles.py.
  • For scales, each team member must submit scales.py.

• Double-check the status of your submitted tasks, since there may be warnings.

• Reminder: you can submit as many times as you like, and only the most recent submission will count for your grade.

• If you run into trouble with the submissions server, contact Peter Mawhorter, and include a copy of the file(s) you were trying to submit.

• Check your score for each task and submit revisions if you need to.
