# 5: Interactive Turtles

## Expectations

### Learning Targets <a href="#learning-targets" id="learning-targets"></a>

* I can interpret an unfamiliar code base.
* I can extend the code to my own project.

### Assessments <a href="#assessments" id="assessments"></a>

* You will create an interactive program or game based on existing turtle classes
* You will be asked regular comprehension questions about Python.&#x20;

```
from turtle import Turtle


class ClassName (Turtle):
    def __init__(self, starting_x, starting_y):
        Turtle.__init__(self)
        self.starting_x = starting_x
        self.starting_y = starting_y
        
        # General setup
        # self.color("black")
        # self.penup()
        # self.shape("turtle")
        # self.goto(self.starting_x, self.starting_y)
        
    def method_example(self):
        pass
        ## change the name and make the method work
```

## Assignment and Rubric

Create an interactive turtle application of your own design. This can be a game or other interactive program, but it must use at least two of the three types of turtle classes we have outlined (moving turtle, keyboard turtle, clickable turtle).&#x20;

* **3 pts** - Program works without errors
* **3pts** - Program uses two classes of turtle
* **3pts** - Program is interactive.  Users can DO something with the program beyond what we set up in class.  Make sure your theme is cohesive!&#x20;
* **1pts** - Program is cleaned up (unused imports have been deleted, for example)
