Object-oriented Programming in Python: Create Your Own Adventure Game CO210 / A23
Summary
Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on objects and data rather than actions and logic.
This online course will introduce you to the principles of object-oriented programming in Python, showing you how to create objects, functions, methods, and classes.
You’ll use what you learn to create your own text-based adventure game. You will have the chance to share your code with other learners, and see theirs.
If you’re an educator, you’ll also be able to develop ideas for using object-oriented programming in your classroom.
Who is it for?
This course is designed for people who are already familiar with Python programming and want to learn a different programming paradigm, understand and use existing libraries more effectively, or create code which is useful to other people. We recommend that before taking this course you are comfortable using functions with parameters and return values–as covered in our Python Programming 102 course.
What topics are covered?
You'll cover the following topics:
-
how to write a program using an object
-
create your object-oriented text-based adventure game
-
extend classes to increase functionality
-
class variables vs instance variables
