List and Loop Practice

In these practice exercises, you will use loops to create different patterns of Sprites within the game window.

Getting Started

• Download this zip file to your computer and move it to a folder on your computer where you want to keep your programs for this course
• Unzip/Unarchive the file if you need to by double-clicking on it (your computer may do this automatically when downloading)
• Open PyCharm, press the Open button (or select File → Open), navigate to where you saved the folder, and select it
• You will need to install the Arcade module within your project's Python Interpreter Environment by hovering your mouse over the erroneous word arcade and letting PyCharm perform the suggested fix

Patterns

Complete the following patterns using loops, such that the number of shapes that appear in the window can be changed by changing the one variable NUM_OBJECTS defined at the top of the program or by changing the number of lines in a data file.

The given starter code creates the list for you, handles drawing the shapes, and switches between the patterns based on key presses. Comments in the given code give more information about the patterns to create.

Here is a video going over the given code.
