Exactly! It’s like you’re reading my mind! It looks like we’ve got a fair bit of volunteers at
this point for the project (hooray!), so I’ll start a wiki page we can
collaborate on and post the URL to the list. Thank you all for your help! -- Clare From: owner-pygame-users@xxxxxxxx

I can't pretend to speak for Clare... but I think the idea is to give
the students a sense of accomplishment within a short time frame. Writing
a game from scratch can be a daunting proposition - something near impossible
to have a bunch of budding programmers do in a short time.
However, having students start with a game skeleton, and letting them use their
creativity to "fill in the blank" could result in something both
doable in a reasonable time and fun to do. |
