Level 4: Unplugged Activity - IncrediCoders/Python1 GitHub Wiki
SideWinder added this page on June 6, 2023
I'm going to cover more details about the Space Wars Unplugged Activity that I showed you in the book.
Unplugged Activity: SpaceWars
This Unplugged Activity helps reinforce the lessons we learned in the SpaceWars section. You'll get a chance to review and practice key events and how they work with spaceships.
Requirements
Group of 4 people, feel free to dress as an asteroid if their are more people, or for the 4 people feel free to build spaceships to be inside of.
Instructions
You need at least four people. Two people will be the Players and two people will be the ships. Assign one person to be Player 1, one person to be Nocturn (the ship controlled by Player 1), one person to be Player 2, and one person to be Monarch (the ship controlled by Player 2). Player 1 and Player 2 make sounds to move the ships around and attack the other ship. One hit will destroy the other ship. Each time one ship wins, the ships reset back to their starting point, and that team gets one point. The first team to five points will win.
Next Steps
Next, you can take on the two extra challenges to add to your SpaceWars program and learn more! When you're done, you can move on to Level 5, the Creeper Chase!
Take the Challenges!
-
Challenge 1: In this challenge, you are going to write more code on the SpaceWars.py file!
-
Challenge 2: In this challenge, you are going to write code that will allow two players to play the SpaceWars game together!
More Level 4 Resources
In addition to this page and the instructions for our Level 4 challenges, we also have a Help Page, Online Articles, a Learning Quiz, and a Rewards article:
-
Level 4: Help - This page helps you complete the instructions in the book, in case you get stuck.
-
Level 4: Online Articles - I made you a list of different web pages I found, which will help you learn more about creating the SpaceWars program.
-
Level 4: Learning Quiz - I wrote some questions in case you want to quiz yourself about what you learned. Or you can teach others and quiz them!

Level 5
After you're completely done with Level 4 (did you do the challenges?), then it's time to move on to Level 5! While you read through Level 5 in your book, you can check out the resources from WHO, as they teach you how to build the Creeper Chase program:
I hope you had fun learning about SpaceWars!
