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? - Why we do what we do.
Before we help you out with each Level of the book, start with these steps:
Select your chapter to get started. Because we love videogames (and we're making videogames), in the IncrediCoders book, we call chapters Levels instead!
When you write your code, here are three things to watch out for:
- 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.
-
Make sure you indent lines of code in the code blocks, such as an
if
code block orwhile
loop code block. Indentations are the only way that Python knows which code belongs to which block. -
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 afor
loop statement.
You can also find online versions of the Table of Contents, the Big Book Quiz, and the Nerdy Notes. And we have more resources that are online only:
- What's in the Book - Get 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 characters in the book! And we also include the page numbers where you'll find the characters!
- 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!
- Giant-Sized Nerdy Notes
