Chapter 9 / Level 1: Creating a class

Teaching Objective:

• Students learn what classes are and how they can be used to create objects
• Learn syntax used in classes and how they differ from custom functions
• Understand how modular classes can be when used properly

Guide

In this level the objective is to create grain stacks by using classes.

class grain_stack:
    name = "Grain"
    number = 4

Once a class is set up you are able to create objects of this class, these are individual instances of the class.

stack = grain_stack()

Grab all the grains in the field and walk to the three X marks in the field. Use the build() function to put together the type of object previously defined.

player.build(stack)

Map overview and path

Code Solution

import player

player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(2)
player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(3)
player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(2)
player.turn_left()
player.move_forward(2)
player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(2)
player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(3)
player.turn_left()
player.move_forward(4)
player.turn_left()
player.move_forward(4)

class grain_stack:
    name = "Grain"
    number = 4

stack = grain_stack()
player.build(stack)
player.turn_left()
player.move_forward(2)
player.turn_right()
player.build(stack)
player.turn_left()
player.move_forward(3)
player.turn_right()
player.move_forward(3)
player.turn_right()
player.build(stack)
