Python Projects for Kids

By: Jessica Ingrassellino

Overview of this book

Kids are always the most fast-paced and enthusiastic learners, and are naturally willing to build stuff that looks like magic at the end (when it works!). Programming can be one such magic. Being able to write a program that works helps them feel they've really achieved something. Kids today are very tech-savvy and cannot wait to enter the fast-paced digital world. Because Python is one of the most popular languages and has a syntax that is quite simple to understand, even kids are eager to use it as a stepping stone to learning programming languages. This book will cover projects that are simple and fun, and teach kids how to write Python code that works. The book will teach the basics of Python programming, installation, and so on and then will move on to projects. A total of three projects, with each and every step explained carefully, without any assumption of previous experience.

Testing your game


Now, the moment of truth! First, look at each line of code. Check for indentation errors and syntax errors. Once you have proofread your code, save your work. When you are ready, run your code and play the game against yourself to see whether your code works. Run your code using your command prompt (Windows) or your terminal (Mac/Linux).

The expected behavior is that each player will get one chance to guess the contents of the other player's backpack. Then, you will be asked whether you would like to continue. If you press yes, the guessing will start again. If you press no, then the scores will print and the game will stop:

  • If your game is working the way you expect it to, you can show it to someone else and see how it works for them

  • Print out different messages for correct or incorrect guesses

  • Make an ending message, such as Thanks for playing

These are just a few of many ways that you can change the game. By playing with the code, you can learn more about how it behaves,...
