Project 03 - Snowman: The Complete Edition

Due Date: Monday Sept 28 @ 6am Uploaded to Canvas

Your Task

In this project, you’ll complete the game Snowman that we started in class a couple weeks ago. Your Snow man should have at 4 sections, and after each wrong guess, one new section should be added to the drawing. Define each of the 4 drawings in a separate function using def... as we discussed in class.

The secret word should be read from a file named secret_input.txt.

We haven’t yet covered in detail how to make a program loop until the user enters certain values or until certain conditions are met. So, I created a little Number Guessing Game program using the needed principles for you to use as a guide. You can access that Python program here.

You should place the code for this program in a Python file named 1340-pa03-<lastname>.py where you replace <lastname> with your last name in all lowercase letters. For example, if I was writing this project, my file would be named 1340-pa02-fontenot.py.

Submission and Grading

Your project (single Python file) should be submitted to Canvas in the appropriate PA03 location.

It will be graded according to the following rubric:

• Source Code Quality: 30%
  • Proper use of vertical white space
  • Proper use of horizontal white space
  • Understandable variable names
  • File header comments with your name, SMU ID, and a brief explanation of the project.
• Correctness: 30%
  • Does your project properly use the secret word in the input file to run the program?
• User Interface: 40%
  • Are the interface steps logical?
  • Does the main game loop stop under the correct conditions?
  • Are the prompts to the user helpful?
