Programming Tasks/Challenges

These challenges form a range of different programming tasks you will be set over the course. This is also the home of any significant programming tasks set.

They require some advanced knowledge of VB console, or PyGame, etc. The links below will take you to some example VB projects (not all are shared) so you can analyse how to draw on a console screen, use advanced Unicode characters, etc. I have found the best way to find Unicode characters is to use Word's insert character dialogue. VB uses Consolas font by default (Python uses the system default) and you can scroll the possible characters and note the hex code for any symbols.

You can see some simple coding examples here. These are for VB as Python has a wealth of PyGame tutorials on the Internet.

The floodfill task needs a little explanation and has it's own page, in addition to the files below.
