Someone asked me about duplicating a ball, that would drop down for the game character to dodge.. One of the concepts we looked at last year in Code Club, was creating lots of instances of one sprite. In the simple zombie game I made, this was an easy way to spawn a ton of zombies as the game progresses. At first, the obvious way to do that is by creating lots of sprites.

In term 1, grade 6 people who were in Code Club last year, went through some Python concepts. The activities we had a go at were: Using a text editor e.g. notepad, in Windows, we went through the inventwithpython guess the number exercise. We discovered that the Macbooks’ Windows defaulted to Python 2, which we later fixed by running our scripts from the cmd prompt using: py -3 <ourfile.py>. Some people had a go at copying and pasting the code and soon found out that this changed formatting as well as copying the line numbers.
