Test Tube Sort

Game Assets and Code Template

I have created a ZIP archive which contains:

• Images for test tubes and the different coloured drops.
• Sound effects for when a drop in placed in a test tube.
• The starting point for our game

Download the ZIP archive and copy contents in your coderdojo_tramore directory.

Session 1 (Saturday 14 July)

I have no worksheet today so we went nice and slow. The plan is to:

• Create GUI
• Setup Level
• Deal with mouse input
• Deal with keyboard input
• Creating game actors.

At end of this session, we got something like test_tube_sort_start_session_2.py

Session 2 (Sunday 20 July)

The plan is to continus the development of our game, the main steps left are:

• Adding the drops -- we started this last week but I have removed that code so we can do it again this week as it is important to understand.
• Adding/Removing a drop to/from a test tube
• Implementing tests --- to control the game logic we need a few tests.
  • Is a tube empty?
  • Is a tube full?
  • Is a tube complete (full and all drops of the same colour)?
  • Is this move valid?
    • To pick up a drop the tube cannot be empty
    • To place a drop the tube cannot be full and the drop colour must match the top drop colour.
  • Are all tubes complete or empty? (in other words is the level solved?)
• Using mouse click to control movement
• Using keyboard click to control movement
• Initialising levels
