[Year 12 SofDev] Sensorlight programming practice exercise

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Guys,

 

Why don't we build a wiki based on these types of tasks . We can post freely
and add as we wish.

Actually, I just created it at
http://www.edulists.com.au/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=programming_tasks 

 Easy to join in , once you create an account.

 

See how we go

Thanks Heath.

I'd like us to collate a big collection of neat little programming tasks.
We can all chip in.

A great task Mark,

 

They got quite a kick out of completing it. Here is a python/Tkinter
solution.

Hi folk.

I'm always on the lookout for small but challenging programming tasks for
kids as they start out with SD.  Here's one I made up as I noticed my sensor
light turning on at home.  Literally a lightbulb moment  :-)

The functional requirements seem simple, but the algorithm challenged them.
The kids spent two periods having fun working on it. 

Task, and sample VB2010 Express solution (zipped) are attached - I haven't
distributed a VB2010 project before, so Dog only knows if I packaged the
right files.
Google won't let me mail .zip files, so you need to rename .zipped as .zip
:-[

Cheers
