Game Basics

Game has 3 or more levels and each level contains 4 or more blanks to fill in

Beginning the Game

• Immediately after running the program, user is prompted to select a difficulty level from easy / medium / hard

• Once a level is selected, game displays a fill-in-the-blank and a prompt to fill in the first blank.

Game Play

• When player guesses correctly, new prompt shows with correct answer in the previous blank and a new prompt for the next blank

• When player guesses incorrectly, they are prompted to try again

Use of Variables

• Code uses variables to avoid magic numbers

• Each variable name reflects the purpose of the value stored in it

• Once initiated, the purpose of each variable is maintained throughout the program

• No variables override Python built-in values (for example, def)

Use of Functions

• Functions are used as tools to automate tasks which are likely to be repeated

• Functions produce the appropriate output (typically with a return statement) from the appropriate input (function parameters)

• No functions are longer than 18 lines of code (does not include blank lines, comments, or function definitions)

Appropriate Use of Data

The appropriate data types are used consistently (strings for text, lists for ordered data, nested lists as appropriate)

Appropriate Use of Coding Techniques

Student demonstrates coding techniques like branching and loops appropriately (i.e. to loop through a list, for element in list:; or to test whether something is in a list, if name in list_names:)

Comments / Documentation

Each function includes a comment which explains the intended behavior, inputs, and outputs (if applicable)
