Level 6: Unplugged Activity - IncrediCoders/Python1 GitHub Wiki

I'm going to cover more details about the Boss Battle Unplugged Activity that I showed you in the book.
This Unplugged Activity helps reinforce the lessons about collision detection, which we learned in the Level 6: Boss Battle. This activity reminds us that the program has to see when a character bumps into a wall or another character, and then it responds accordingly (like not letting Paul walk through walls).
Group of people and a coin, a place with space, but also obstacles such as couches, or a wall.
One person is the Creeper and can't move. Then have someone play Paul, starting further away. Make sure you have lots of obstacles (and some people wandering aimlessly around the room). If you're the person playing Paul, you can only walk forward. You can turn, either right or left, only after you softly bump into something or someone. Make sure you don't hurt yourself! You win the game, when you bump into the Cryptic Creeper! To make the game more interesting, have multiple people playing Paul, all trying to get through the room to the Creeper. When they bump into each other, they have to turn left or right, just like if they bumped into a piece of furniture. If you have five or more people, have one person play Virobotica. She starts at another spot and moves around the room, just like the Pauls. Except, when someone bumps into her, they have to go back to the beginning. She has the same rules as the Pauls (walk forward, and turn when you bump into something), but her goal is to stop everyone from getting to the Creeper, and she never has to start over!
Next, you can take on the two extra challenges to chase the Creeper and learn more! When you're done, you can move on to Level 6, the Boss Battle!

I hope you had fun learning about the Creeper Chase!
