Homework 1: Shapes

Learn It

  • In lesson 1, you had tried drawing different shapes using code.
  • Mary has been experimenting with pyGame at home, and added these lines of code:
  • NOTE: The first 4 lines are comments that explain how the shapes are drawn
  • NOTE: Remember that you can always re-visit the week 1 notes for a reminder of how the code works. 
# pygame.draw.rect(screen, colour, (x, y, width, height), thickness)
# thickness is optional filled shape if specified
# pygame.draw.circle(screen, colour, (x, y), radius, thickness)
# pygame.draw.line(screen, colour, (startX, startY), (endX, endY), thickness)

pygame.draw.rect(screen, white, (100, 100, 100, 40))    
pygame.draw.rect(screen, white, (125, 140, 50, 50))
pygame.draw.line(screen, white, (100, 80), (200, 80), 2)
pygame.draw.circle(screen, white, (150, 50), 10, 2)
  • Sketch out the shape that is drawn onto the screen when the code runs. The first is done for you.

  • The first shape is a rectangle, which starts being drawn from x=100, y=100.
  • The size of the rectangle is 100 pixels wide and 40 pixels tall.
  • To complete the task, you can use MS Paint, an app or complete the task on paper and photograph it with a phone.
