Manchester CoderDojo July 2018 - Python

Three Python activities this month:

1. CodeCombat - https://codecombat.com/play/dungeon
2. The Python Challenge - http://www.pythonchallenge.com/
3. Google Translate Whispers Game - https://glitch.com/edit/#!/dave-cdjul-remix

CodeCombat

Head over to https://codecombat.com/play/dungeon to get started learning the basics of Python.

The Python Challenge

The Python Challenge is a series of puzzles that you solve using Python. There aren't many instructions so you might need to pair up with a partner to talk through ideas.

The first challenge is here: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/0.html

You'll need somewhere to run Python code to solve the problems. If you have Python already install on your PC that's great use that. If you don't have Python installed you can run it online here: https://repl.it/languages/python3

You'll also need somewhere to look up the documentation on how Python works. Two good sources are:

1. The official docs for the Python language - https://docs.python.org/3/
2. The DevDocs Python pages (plus lots of other good docs) - https://devdocs.io/python~3.6/

The Google Translate Whispers Game

1. Google API Languages: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/languages
2. Browser Python docs: https://www.brython.info/static_doc/en/browser.html
