[–] yason90 2y ago ↗ Nice! Learning Python by playing a game should be very interesting for the kids.
[–] alex_tk 2y ago ↗ As for me, just what is needed for learning programming language in an easy and playful form.
[–] gus_massa 2y ago ↗ Did you made the graphics?Why "move_forward" instead of a shorted world like "forward"? (What does the turtle in Logo use?) [–] [deleted] 2y ago ↗ (comment deleted) [–] onenite 2y ago ↗ move_forward is more descriptive as a method name.- the action name of move is significant.the additional typing for a precisely descriptive name is generally worth it for readable code.fortunately, autocompletion is available in the code editor!

- the action name of move is significant.
the additional typing for a precisely descriptive name is generally worth it for readable code.
fortunately, autocompletion is available in the code editor!
