We had a good turn out at the python group again today. We did a lot of typing which some of the younger Ninjas found hard going. We won’t be doing that much again for a few weeks. We did a number guessing game which contained some concepts which are used in most computer programs. Our number guessing game is explained in chapter four of “Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python” by Al Sweigart.  http://inventwithpython.com/chapter4.html

We had a slow start to the Python session due to Wi-Fi and installation issues. However once we got moving we managed to cover variables including strings, math operators and inputs and outputs.
Ninjas are encouraged to read the first three chapters of Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python by Al Sweigart, which is available at http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/ .
Next week we will be looking at loops and decisions in a number guessing game and comparing it to a similar scratch program.
