You may find the following document describing the different graphic objects introduce in the Zelle's textbook useful.


Classes for a wheel and a Car

Below is the code we wrote in class yesterday:

# carNew.py
# D. Thiebaut
# first program using a class to define                                                                               
# a new graphic object: a wheel, which                                                                
# is made of 2 concentric circles.  The class
# Wheel supports methods to initialize the
# graphics object, draw it on the window,
# and move it.

from graphics import *
W = 400
H = 400

#----------------------------------------------------------------
class Wheel:
    """A class with two concentric circles"""

    def __init__( self, center, r1, r2 ):
        """constructor"""
        self.radius1 = min( r1, r2 )
        self.radius2 = max( r1, r2 )
        self.circ1 = Circle( center, self.radius1 )
        self.circ2 = Circle( center, self.radius2 )
        
    def draw( self, win ):
        """draws the wheel on the graphics window win"""
        self.circ2.draw( win )
        self.circ1.draw( win )

    def move( self, dx, dy ):

    def __init__( self, P1, P2 ):
        self.body = Rectangle( P1, P2 )

        r1      = r2/2
        self.w1 = Wheel( center1, r1, r2 )
        self.w2 = Wheel( center2, r1, r2 )

    def setFill( self, bodyc, tirec, insidec ):
        self.body.setFill( bodyc )
        self.w1.setFill( tirec, insidec )
        self.w2.setFill( tirec, insidec )

    def draw( self, win ):

    #w = Wheel( Point( W/2, H/2 ), 20, 40 )
    #w.setFill( "black", "yellow" )

    car = Car( Point( 20, 20 ), Point( 120, 60 ) )
    car.setFill( "red", "yellow", "black" )

    waitForClick( win, "click to move" )


    #--- move the wheel ---
    for i in range( 100 ):
        car.move( 3, 0 )

    waitForClick( win, "click to end" )

main()


  • Run the program a few times to make sure you understand how it works.
  • Assume that the programmer writing the main program (we always assume that the programmer writing the main program is different from the programmer writing the classes, as is most often the case in real life) forgot the rule that when building a car, the first point passed to the constructor is the top left point of the rectangle defining the body, and that the second point is the bottom right point of the body.
Instead the programmer creates the object car as follows:
   car = Car( Point( 120, 60 ), Point( 20, 20 ) )


Make this modification and run your program. What happens?
  • Fix the class Car so that the user can specify any point in any order (top-left, bottom-right), or (top-right, bottom-left), or (bottom-left, top-right), and constructor will correctly define the body and the wheels to fit the shape defined by the two points.
  • Oh, by the way, the car is a two-door convertible. Add a door to the car. The door should be a simple rectangle in the middle of the body of the car, between the two wheels. (You may want to sketch the shape of the car on paper and figure out what proportions to use to position the door.)

Random cars going in random directions

  • Make your program create a list of 5 cars.
  • Each car has a random horizontal velocity (dy=0), making it go left, or right. Make dx and dy part of the class, i.e. make these variables member variables of the class Car.
  • Make your program move all 5 cars at the same time, until all the cars have exited the window. As soon as the cars all disappear your program will stop. Think of an efficient way to do this... This is a bit tricky... (But we are at a time in the semester where you can deal with tricky questions... :-)

Fish

This section is reported to Lab 11...

  • See all the fish? Make a note of one of the fish, and get a copy of its file as follows
  getcopy fishxx.gif            (replace xx by the actual number of the fish you want)
  • Write a new graphics program and copy/paste the following code in it:


.

from graphics import *
H = 400
W = 400

def waitForClick( win, message ):
    """ waitForClick: stops the GUI and displays a message.  
    Returns when the user clicks the window. The message is erased."""

    # wait for user to click mouse to start
    startMsg = Text( Point( win.getWidth()/2, win.getHeight()/2 ), message )
    startMsg.draw( win )    # display message
    win.getMouse()          # wait
    startMsg.undraw()       # erase


def main():
    global H, W
    win = GraphWin( "Fish Tank", W, H )
    waitForClick( win, "click to start" )

    fish = Image( Point( W/2, H/2 ), "fish15.gif" )  # replace 15 by the number of your fish
    fish.draw( win )

    waitForClick( win, "click to end" )
    win.close()

main()

 
.
  • Add a for loop and make the object fish move by dx, dy some fixed number of steps...
  • Create a an new class which is a fish, with its own file name, and its own dx and dy.
  • Create an object issued from the class. Verify that you can make the object move on the screen.
  • Create a school of several fish that move around the screen. The fish may move in opposite directions, but we'll assume that all fish move in the direction of where their head points to!!!
  • Make the fish go up or down, slightly, randomly, as it moves forward...
