Tasks

The instructions for each task:

• Task 1: Shape Sorter — Write functions using list comprehensions to create & filter lists of polygon specifications, and using sorting to change their order. Finally write a function to draw those polygons so you can see the results. You must complete EITHER this task OR the measureMunger task; only one will count towards your grade. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 2: Measure Munger — Write functions using list comprehensions to create & filter lists of musical measure specifications, and using sorting to change their order. Finally write a function to play those measures so you can hear the results. You must complete EITHER this task OR the shapeSorter task; only one will count towards your grade. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 3: Checklist — Define an API to use dictionaries as checklists. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
