This is an A/E type of homework. You have several problems to solve. You either get an A or an E on each one. What is important here is Python, not documentation or robustness (this is an exception to the rule). You have to solve different problems and make your program output the correct answer. Correct answers get A, incorrect ones get E. I will not read the code closely and take point for lack of documentation, and I will not try to make your program crash to test its robustness.
The main goal for this particular assignment is for you to use classes and objects and make them work.
This assignment is due Tuesday evening, Dec. 6, at midnight.
Contents
Problem 1
- Modify the car class we saw in class (some code available on the class Web page), and make the class contain
- a rectangle for the body,
- a rectangle for the cab part,
- a rectangle (or rectangles) for the window (or windows),
- a Text caption in the middle of the body (s.a. "Taxi" ),
- and a move() method, so that we can make the car move out of the screen with this loop:
for i in range( 500 ):
car.move( 2, 0 );
- (we assume that car is an object instantiated from the class Car.)
- Make your program implement this loop so that we can see the car move out of the window.
- Store your program in a file called hw10a.py and submit it this way:
rsubmit hw10 hw10a.py (if you are working on beowulf)
- or use the http://cs.smith.edu/~111a/submit10.htm submit form.
Problem 2
- Play with the program below:
from graphics import *
class Ball:
def __init__(self, c, r ):
self.c = Circle( c, r )
self.dx = 0
self.dy = 0
def draw( self, win ):
self.c.draw( win )
def setFill( self, col ):
self.c.setFill( col )
def setDirection( self, dx, dy ):
self.dx = dx
self.dy = dy
def move( self ):
self.c.move( self.dx, self.dy )
def main():
width = 800
height = 600
win = GraphWin( "111a-xx HW10", width, height )
b1 = Ball( Point( width/4, height/2 ), 10 )
b1.setFill( "blue" )
b1.setDirection( 1, 2 )
b1.draw( win )
b2 = Ball( Point( width/4, height/2 ), 10 )
b2.setFill( "green" )
b2.setDirection( 2, 1 )
b2.draw( win )
while True:
b1.move()
b2.move()
if win.checkMouse() != None:
break
win.close()
main()
- It's not documented, but for this homework documentation is not required.
- Note how each ball remembers its direction of movement in the two member variables self.dx and self.dy.
Assignment
- Add a new method (or more if that makes your code simpler) to the Ball class called changeDirIfHittingWall(). This method changes the sign self.dx or self.dy when the ball hits a vertical or horizontal wall (the boundaries of the window).
- If your method is written correctly, the main function below will see the balls bouncing off all the windows borders in a natural fashion, in a way similar to what we have done many times before.
def main():
width = 800
height = 600
win = GraphWin( "111a-xx HW10", width, height )
b1 = Ball( Point( width/4, height/2 ), 10 )
b1.setFill( "blue" )
b1.setDirection( 1, 2 )
b1.draw( win )
b2 = Ball( Point( width/4, height/2 ), 10 )
b2.setFill( "green" )
b2.setDirection( 2, 1 )
b2.draw( win )
while True:
b1.move()
b2.move()
if win.checkMouse() != None:
break
b1.changeDirIfHittingWall( width, height )
b2.changeDirIfHittingWall( width, height )
win.close()
Additional Information
- the balls must bounce off all four borders of the window
- the balls do not have to bounce off each other
Submission
- Call your program hw10b.py and submit it as indicated in Problem 1 above.
Problem 3
- And you thought we were done with the presidents!
- Play with the code below:
presidents = \

Your assignment
Part 1
- For this part you cannot modify the President class.
- You can only modify the main() function.
- Whatever you do, you cannot use the string presidents again: its purpose is to be split into a list of objects, which the function createListOfPres() does...
- Make the main program output the number of democratic presidents, the number of republican presidents, and the number of "other" party presidents.
Part 2
- For this part you can add new methods to the President class.
- You cannot go back to the string presidents.
- Make your program prompt the user for a year, and output the president or presidents who was/were in active duties that year.
- It is fine if your program does not output Obama for 2011, but it is nice if it does!
Submission
- Store your program in a file called hw10c.py and submit it as illustrated in Problem 1 above.
Problem 4
Your assignment
- My cat ate my program! Yes, it did! I had a nicely written (though not documented) program, was ready to show it to you, but my cat ate part of it.
- The good part is that I kept a copy of the program's output when it was still in its complete state:
Cheetah 70.0 mph
Pronghorn Antelope 61.0 mph
Wildebeest 50.0 mph
Lion 50.0 mph
Thomson's Gazelle 50.0 mph

Fastest animal: Cheetah
Slowest animal: Garden Snail
Closest to 0 miles/hour: Garden Snail 0.03 mph
Closest to 3 miles/hour: Spider (Tegenaria atrica) 1.17 mph
Closest to 6 miles/hour: Chicken 9 mph
Closest to 9 miles/hour: Chicken 9 mph
