Impacts on society

UNIT

In this lesson you will focus on how a programmer chooses to write programs, by following conventions or a set pattern or way of doing things - called a programming paradigm.

Programming Paradigms

In this lesson you will learn how to create a class in Python and then use that class to create objects. You will cover some important terms that you will use throughout the rest of the unit.

Classes and Objects

In this lesson you will use your experience with object-oriented programming to step into the shoes of a video game programmer. You will create a class that will hold the information about Monsters in a puzzle game.

Creating a class

In this lesson you will learn about a key principle of object-oriented programming - Inheritance. You will use it to create new Monster classes for the Monster Quest puzzle game, these new classes will inherit all the attributes and methods of the original Monster class and add some new ones all their own!

Inheritance

In this lesson you will explore a program written using OOP and use your experience to first investigate and then modify the program. 

Finally you will add a new subclass to the program and show off your understanding of the principle of inheritance.
