PythonKara aims to teach students fundamental ideas of programming.
Kara is like Sokoban. It is very popular in German speaking countries to teach students how to program. PythonKara reimplements PythonKara from swisseduc.ch.
In contrast to the original PythonKara itself is written in Python and is under Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Just grab this repo and you are ready to go.
Place new file (e.g. task01.py) in this folder:
from levels import * # load levels
TIME_S = 0.5 # default, set seed
STRIC = TRUE # default, prevent Kara from crashing into a tree or appearing on the other side of the world
current_level = 1 # set actual level
exec(open("kara.py").read()) # start
# Sensoren: onBerry(), treeFront(), treeLeft(), treeRight(), mushroomFront()
# Aktoren: move(), turnLeft(), turnRight(), putBerry(), removeBerry()
# <task description>
move() # or kara.move()
putBerry() # alias for putLeaf()Syntax for creating a level is compatible to GreenfootKara and Pgame Zero Simple Game Tutorials.
To test your task you may change from levels import to from tests import to get an similar szenario.
Install Pygame Zero and run sokoban.py. You may change GAME_MODE to kara (press right to turn) or sokoban (press right to move right).
I am still learning how to teach Python.
Actual order of tasks: 1-6, 15, 18, 16, 07, 17, 8, 19, 9-13, 20-22
I would love to see PythonKara in action! Please release your exercises with PythonKara to help other teachers to make there lessons also great. 😄
