Night sky

1. Task Requirement

   • Self Determined Criteria
     • Have a sky with variation star/plantes
       • SDC Requirements
         • Have a sky that has stars and planets
         • Have A Moon
         • Have a comet with a comet tail
   • Prescribed Criteria
     • Use multiple types of graphic functions
       • The circles will create a drawing of the moon stars of planets
       • Have rectangles created buildings or trees ect
       • Have lines forming a comet tail or northern lights
     • Create a coherent picture related to the STEM video games theme
       • The picture will incorporate the Stem theme.
       • The pictures are visuals understandable by the user.
       • The picture will have stars and planets
     • Use multiple colours
       • Have a sky with a large variation of colours
       • There will be different coloured stars
       • There will be a city or another large visible area on the ground
     • Create three functions that draw something
       • Using circles for moons
       • Using circles for stars
       • Using rectangles for building or trees
     • Create a coherent animation related to the STEM video game theme
       • Have incorporated the STEM theme
       • Have animations for the moon stars or another planet
     • Use for loops to create and position multiple items
       • Randomized star x and y
     • Animate at least two aspects of this drawing
       • Have a animated moon that moves
       • Have stars that flicker

2. Developer Problem

   • Coding Environment
     • Loops
       • For Loops
         • for star in self.stars: x, y, size, brightness = star brightness = random.uniform(0.5, 1.0) color = (int(255 * brightness), int(255 * brightness), int(255 * brightness)) arcade.draw_point(x, y, color, size)
           • This code draws each star as a small white point and changes the brightness from 0.5 to 1 every frame which in return makes the stars look like they flicker
         • self.stars = [(random.randint(0, screen_width), random.randint(200, screen_height), random.randint(1, 3), random.uniform(10, 100)) for _ in range(NUM_STARS)] self.frame_count = 0
           • This code generates a list of random positions of x and y integer to randomly place stars across the sky
     • Development Tools
       • Thonny
         • Arcade
     • Key Algorithm
     • Conditional Statements
       • If Statements
         • if self.frame_count > total_frames:
           • This code resets the number of frames if it reaches higher than the total number of frames
     • Custom defined functions
       • def on_update(self, delta_time): self.frame_count += 1
         • This code increments the frame count
       • def main(): game = MyGame() arcade.run()
         • This code creates an instance of MyGame and runs the extension from thonny, arcade
