Coderdojo Turtle Race
Hello everyone! Today I will show you what I am planning to do in future Coderdojo sessions with young ninjas who would like to learn Python.
In the Raspberry Pi projects page, there are some interesting learning paths and tutorials that we can use to teach Scratch, Python, Pi Pico and more. I found out this interesting project with Python called Turtle Race.
It is a fun project because kids learn about some advanced turtle
and Python features, while creating a simple game.
The goal of the project is to draw a track where some turtles will run on.
I decided to clean up the code a bit, by creating a function to initialize the players, and the code to draw the final ranking. It is a bit trickier to teach, but I thought it was fun to see which turtle is the winner :)
Here is a screenshot of the final painting:
You can play with it directly in trinket.io
