Comp 151 Project 6

Lets Demonstrate all that you have learned

Summary:

In this slightly longer project, you will get the opportunity to build a more interesting project and demonstrate all that you have learned over the course of the semester. You may choose one of two possible project

Due: Thursday May 5th at 11:59pm Based on my in class mistake, Sunday May 8th at 5pm, but that is a hard deadline.

Description:

Because we have a very diverse group with a lot of different majors in this class, I want to offer two different (but approximately equal difficulty) projects. Choose one and have fun.

All functions except the call to main() must be in some function

A proto game Here are some images that might be useful

build a simple one level "Frogger" style game. As long as you get the functionality right, feel free to adjust the theme to any which is appropriate for class.

You must use the python arcade library that we used in class, no older Pygame libarary
for those of you who have never played this 41 year old game, have a look at this video, we won't be reproducing the entire complexity of the
There is a player (the frog in the original) who can move up down, left and right on the screen
There is a safe zone to start with at the bottom, somehow make it clear where that is (perhaps draw a colored rectangle there
Then there are four lanes of 'cars' in the first zone, each one is traveling in the opposite direction from the one next to it.

each lane should have different spacing between cars
if the player gets hit by a car then the player loses
cars that exit the screen should 'wrap around' and return to it.

There is a safe zone after four lanes of cars - visually display it
There is a river zone with lets say two lanes going in opposite directions (logs flowing with the current and turtles swimming against the current in the original)

if the player moves into a water zone, then the player loses, if the player jumps onto the log or the turtle, the player moves with the thing they jump on,

if the player is still on the turtle or log when it moves off the screen, the player loses.

logs and/or turtles that exit the screen should 'wrap around' and return to it.

There is a safe zone at the top. If the entire player sprite reaches any part of the top safe zone they win
If the player wins or loses the game, put a big text notice up that says so.

Extra credit available: (you might have to look some of this up yourself). You must complete the rest of the project to be eligible for extra credit. (tell me in the top comments if you did some of it)

for 20 points extra credit, add sounds, (be sure to include the sound files in your git submission) and play them for

moving the player
getting hit by a car
falling in the water
winning

for 20 points extra credit give the player 'lives' so they get three chances to cross the street,
for 20 more points, if you get the previous working, then keep score. For each player life that you cross to the safe zone, award the player a score increase (and display that score)

Data Analysis of a large spreadsheet Get the spreadsheet here

Up until the end of 2016 the Steam game platform made lots of data publicly available.
Your program will examine a spreadsheet of that data, giving the user the chance to select the kind of analysis that the program will do
Make sure that it is easy to tell from reading your program output which data is being conveyed

your main function should offer the following options repeatedly until the user chooses to quit Every option other than quit should be implemented it its own function

quit

should exit the program

findMostPlayers

ask the user which system (Windows, Mac or Linux) they want to consider then find the game that runs on that system with the highest SteamSpyPlayersEstimate and display the game title, release date and player count

findAgeRestricted

print the names and release date of all games that have a minimum player age of 17

findOftenRecommended

ask the user what the minimum number of recommendations is
then find and print the

game name
recommendation count
number of owners
percentage of owners who wrote a recommendation (you have to calculate this one by dividing the previous two data items)

findWellPlayed

ask the user what the cutoff percentage should be
then find all games where the number of players / the number of owners is greater than that cutoff and report

the percentage
the game title.

findCountForSystem

count and report the number of games available for each platform (Mac, Windows, Linux)
If a game runs on both windows and linux make sure to count it in both

LookUpData

ask the user for the name of a game then find that game and report

the name of the game
What platform it runs on
its metacritic score
The number of DLC for the title
how many owners there are for the title

Extra credit available (you might have to look some of this up yourself). You must complete the rest of the project to be eligible for extra credit. (tell me in the top comments if you did some of it)

for 20 points extra credit: ask the user for a year (from 2006 to 2016) and find the most owned game from that year and report it
for 20 points extra credit: find and report the five 17+ age restricted games with the largest player counts
for 30 points of extra credit: find and report the five most owned games for each of the last 10 years of the dataset (2007-2016)

Additional requirements:

Your code must be commented

use functions.

To help me identify your work, make the name of your project

yourFirstInitialLastNameProject6

(so mine would be JSantoreProject6)
And put the following at the beginning of the program as a comment:

Your name
anything that was left undone
anything that I need to know to run the program correctly.

Project Submission

Submit the project by putting it on github as a private project and making me a collaborator as before.
