In unit 4, one of the concepts we learned was how to use turtle graphics in python. For the “interactive drawing” assignment, we were tasked with creating an application that would take user input on and then draw a picture using that input. I settled on the idea of putting in a little more work and instead of a drawing I turned my assignment into more of a soccer penalty shootout game. I found it challenging in the beginning to have the goalie select a random position in net but after doing some research and playing around with it, I was able to figure it out. Another challenge I faced was collision detection between the ball and the goalie which once again after working with it for a little bit I was able to overcome. I feel that my coding in this assignment was quite strong from my algorithm to my formatting, and even my use of well-named functions.
