• Assigned on 09/16:
  No homework this week. We will be using python to teach advanced programming techniques. Please install Anaconda python 3 on any laptops that are used in class, and on home computers for homework. Windows/Macintosh: Please use the following link, download the 64-bit Graphical Installer for python 3, and install. When asked whether to add Anaconda to PATH variable, please check that option. https://www.anaconda.com/download/ Chromebook: try the following link for instruction to install on Chrome OS https://wsvincent.com/install-python3-chromebook/
  
• Assigned on 09/23:
  no homework. Please install anaconda python on your computers as instructed. Finish the function fibonacci(n) that returns the first n Fibonacci numbers.
  
• Assigned on 09/30:
  Please finish coding "FizzBuzz". The python program needs to output a list of the first 50 natural numbers (1..50) and if the number is divisible by 3 then write Fizz, if the number is divisible by 5 then write Buzz and if the number is divisible by 3 and 5 then write FizzBuzz. Good luck. I will post information on Anaconda and Github installation later. Good luck
  
• Assigned on 10/14:
  Please find your homework on my github repository: https://github.com/hstrey/SchoolNova-Computer-Science/blob/master/IT201/homework%2010-14-18.ipynb
  
• Assigned on 10/21:
  no homework. Please review the notebooks on github: https://github.com/hstrey/SchoolNova-Computer-Science/blob/master/IT201/Introduction%20to%20classes%2010-14-18.ipynb

• Assigned on 11/11:
  check out: http://arcade.academy/ try to install it and play around with the examples.
  
• Assigned on 11/18:
  https://github.com/hstrey/SchoolNova-Computer-Science/blob/master/IT201/Arcade%20Installation.ipynb Install arcade and play around with the package. Program some video games and show them to me in class
  
• Assigned on 12/2:
  Please look at this example: http://arcade.academy/examples/bouncing_balls.html#bouncing-balls Try to understand how it works and try to modify it. For example, you could float squares instead of circles. You could also change the boundary that confines the balls: make it smaller or larger. Next class, I will discuss this program in more detail. It contains a lot of cool ideas.
  
• Assigned on 12/9:
  take the arcade program, https://github.com/hstrey/SchoolNova-Computer-Science/blob/master/IT201/myshapes.py that we worked on during class, and add the following features: 1) when creating a new ball chose a random size of 10-50. Make sure that you are changing the ball class to include the size and that you take the size into account when placing it. 2) choose a random color during ball creation Happy coding Helmut

• Assigned on 01/6:
  Please take a look at: https://github.com/hstrey/SchoolNova-Computer-Science/blob/master/IT201/myshapes_explosion.py right now this program triggers an explosion every time the mouse is clicked. Add code to only show an explosion when you click on a ball. In the comments to the on_mouse_click() function, I am given some hints and also an equation to calculate the distance between two points. As a bonus, please remove the ball that is hit. Good luck
  
• Assigned on 01/13:
