Welcome to the Online Resources for our book, "IncrediCoders: Python Adventures - Paul Python's Power Posse Combats the Cryptic Creeper!"

I'm Paul Python! My friends and teachers are going to help guide you through this online content! If you're wondering why we made the book, and why IncrediCoders Academy exists, see What's the Big Idea?. This is one of our Big Book Buddies, which are pages that help support the book!

Before we help you out with each Level of the book, start with these steps:

• Set up the files
• Try the IncrediCoders Games

Select your chapter to get started. Because we love videogames (and we're making videogames), in the IncrediCoders book, we call chapters Levels instead!

1. Level 1 - Turtle Map

2. Level 2 - Class Introductions

3. Level 3 - Classmate Quiz

4. Level 4 - Space Wars

5. Level 5 - Creeper Chase

6. Level 6 - Boss Battle

7. Level 7 - IncrediCards

When you write your code, here are three things to watch out for:

1. Don't press Enter to add lines to the template files. That makes it so that the line numbers in the template files are different than your instructions and the final solution files. So, if you stick to the same number of lines, you'll be able to complete the instructions, and it will make it easier for you to troubleshoot or solve any issues that come up.
2. Make sure you indent lines of code in the code blocks, such as an if code block or while loop code block. Indentations are the only way that Python knows which code belongs to which block.
3. Make sure you include a colon at the end of the first statement or line in a code block, such as an if statement or a for loop statement. Similarly, you should also make sure each function has its end parenthesis at the end of the line (or at the end of the function, after the arguments or parameters).

What we call the Big Book Buddies are the extra pages that are resources, acting as the buddies of the book! These are the pages that help expand on what you'll find in the book! This includes a lot of extra resources and information. Check out all our Big Book Buddies:

• What's the Big Idea?: Why did we make this book?
• The Prestigious Praise Page: The beginning of the book includes some of our top testimonials... and here are the rest!
• Code Conventions: Why we made the decisions we made for the code concepts, conventions, styles, and formatting that we use in this repo and in the book.
• Repo Structure: Where to find all the files in this GitHub repo, how to navigate to all the resources (including on this Wiki), and even why we made the decisions we made to organize the folders and files.
• Formidable FAQ: We've gotten all sorts of questions that range from genuinely inquisitive to shocked and confused (from very smart and successful people). We definitely broke down the barriers with this book! Here are all the answers to your questions!
• What's in the Book - Super TOC: Get a table of contents (TOC) that includes an explanation of what's in each chapter (which we call Levels) and what you'll learn!
• Glossary + Index: See definitions and explanations of all the terms that are in the Index. And we include the page numbers as well!
• Character Glossary + Index: See information and explanations of all of the heroes and villains in the book! And we also include the page numbers where you'll find the characters!
• My Badges Collection Page: As you complete each level, attach that level's award badge to your My Badges page! You can print out the page and the badges.
• Total Learning Checklist: Each level in the book ends with a Learning Checklist to check your knowledge (or your student's knowledge). This page is one big checklist of all the levels in the book! Head here to make sure you learned from the book (or to make sure your student did)!
• Answers to the Big Book Quiz: In the back of the book, we have the Big Book Quiz, with 15 questions that test your knowledge throughout the entire book (including questions from each Level in the book). Here are the answers to those questions!
