1) What is the formula used to return a whole number when doing division?
You use a double forward slash like so: //
2) What is the formula used to return the remainder when doing division? How does it work? Explain with an example.
You use the percentage sign % for example: 12%5

3) Why is it important in computing to understand number systems and in particular binary? 
It is important to because it will help us understand the ‘language’ of computers which is binary and would help us understand the code of the circuits

4) How does binary work? i.e. how do we convert a number from decimal into binary?              

The five switches are either 1=on and 0=off. Every switch represents a double starting from 1 from right to left 0 0 0 0 0 
                  16 8 4 2 1       This can carry on adding more switches of 1 and 0 depending on the number.
                            From decimal to binary you can use two ways. One way is, you can keep dividing your number by 2. If you have a remainder of one that counts as an on switch and no remainder so 0 counts as an off switch. You keep dividing by 2 until you end up with 0. For example 156/2=78, 0 remainder, 78/2=39, 0 remainder, 39/2=19, 1 remainder, 19/2=9, 1 remainder, 9/2=4, 1 remainder, 4/2=2, 0 remainder, 2/2=1, 0 remainder. Therefore, the binary code is 001110010.



5) Find examples of the fibonacci sequence in nature and post pictures of them in your blog.

           there are some famous and enjoyable games that have some aspects of python. Some of these games are:
     
     Battlefield 2 uses python for logic and its online servers

Civ IV employs python










EVE online which is written in stacklesspython

Plan:

my plan is to play the game created and presented to play and to answer when feature of game to assess is found. Ideally the game should run smoothly with only a few glitches to expect

Questions:

Test 1: The game must have clear instructions for the user.                                                                                                                       
No instructions included in the game
Test 2: The game must be error-free.
The game is error free
Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of scores
The game has meaningful variables of scores with code that works perfectly as wanted
Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.
The game is blogged but not very well with only a screenshot and a caption
Test 5: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.
The sprites are named appropriately but only has 1 stage
Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.
The program keeps the scores very accurately
Test 7: Is the game difficult or easy?
Very difficult
Test 8: is the artwork in the game acceptable?
The artwork is good
Test 9: Is the game named appropriately?
Yes, however it is getting old with the mkI, mkII ect.

EVALUATION

-I could show a better presentation for my on my blog.
-I could go more into detail of blocks i used for the construction of my game.


GAME TESTING STRATEGY & PLAN
I will test my game to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask Chiara to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for Sadan
Here are the tests:-
Test 1: The game must have clear instructions for the user.                                                                                                                       
No instructions included in the game
Test 2: The game must be error-free.
The game is error free
Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of scores
The game has meaningful variables of scores with code that works perfectly as wanted
Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

the finished banana game mk IV. i used a simple combination of blocks and repeated them to fit every variable available and the manoeuvring and the cause and effect of every sprite
