If you have come from another Programming language, with a little practice you will quickly come to enjoy pythons 'for loop' being able to quickly give you access to individual elements one at a time. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRO0499WWr4 Python 8.1 - for loop Running Time: 4:21 Take a further look at accessing individual values using the 'for loop'. Become familiar with using the length of an object to grant access to its index values. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYMot97BxNU Python 8.2 - for loop - Graphics Window Running Time: 4:02 Create an image in the graphics window; this is a building block exercise for creating a graphics calculator with advanced Polynomials, Trigonometry and a check for zeros and other functions.

Do not worry yourself with the math too much, you will need some time playing with the window to become familiar with offsets. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Ku4R6BYNU Python 9.3 - Mandelbrot Set Running Time: 13:04 This is one of our favourite exercises, this little practical exercise will show you how easily you can create some really cool and powerful things using only a points of check for control flow. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqfbDAzA1Sw See link here for here for Numberphiles description of the Mandelbrot set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGMRB4O922I Python 9.4 - Colour Creator Running Time: 8:07 Create a gridded window to a scale dependent on a variable. We will colour the blocks we click on the grid a random colour in this instance showing how to create your own colors using the graphics module. This exercise is a building exercise for John Conway's game of life and creating board games in Python. (Next for Board Indexing - 19.3) See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjH39O3_p_o Python 10.0 - De-Bugger Running Time: 4:34 Eyn2k about Pythons inbuilt de-bugger and avoiding bugs in the first place. Some will argue the de-bugger can only hinder learning because, "the print statement is the ultimate de-bugger". Though becoming familiar with both early we thought would be in your best interest. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-QVoDsH6eM Python 11.0 - Exception Handling Running Time: 3:38 Eyn2k about exception handling in Python. A code should "never do anything unexpected by the programmer" (exceptions for type Mandelbrot/Game of life). When possible it is important to de-bug using the necessary control flow statements such that while you are not getting required result; perform here. Though sometimes, especially when handling input, this is simply not practical. See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IQiSgx9hwQ Python 12.0 - File Input Output Running Time: 3:39 Eyn2k about writing to and reading from text files and storing the result in variables for manipulation.

See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMFTizNfPoI Python 19.3 - Board Indexing Running Time: 18:49 This exercise will allow you to gather information on objects next to a given block on the board we created in Exercise 9.4 - Colour Creator. This is the building blocks to creating a board game in Python and John Conways "Game of Life" (Exercise 19.4). See link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFH01m7vzv4 Python 19.4 - Game Of Life Running Time: 15:27 This is a very cool exercise to creating John Conways "Game of Life". This requires indexing the neighbours of every block and checking if it needs to be born or dying.
