Junior Programmer: Apply object-oriented principles

Mission

Foundational

+300 XP

(16824)

In this mission, you’ll refactor the inventory project you completed in the previous mission using the pillars of object-oriented programming as a guide. You’ll deep dive into the inner workings of each pillar individually, so you can better understand its value in developing applications. Next, you’ll learn how to profile your code to identify any optimization bottlenecks that would slow down the final build of your application. To close out this mission, you’ll develop a small application for your portfolio that uses fully optimized code built on OOP principles. 
When you complete this mission you will complete the Junior Programmer pathway - CONGRATULATIONS! 
Key details

Slither Slam - Programming Theory Project

The video begins at the main menu, showcasing the different options available to the player. Starting with the high score page that includes 3 sections for each level. Then we see the How to play page that provides simple gameplay instructions. Finally, a dropdown menu is included for the player to choose their difficulty (defaults to easy) before choosing their snake to begin. The medium level and the snake "Floyd" are chosen for gameplay. A high score is achieved, where the player then provides their name for input, then returns to the main menu to begin another game, this time choosing the easy level with snake "Zach". During Zachs gameplay, we see him gain a speed boost after consuming one of the different food types. Each snake has their own unique abilities, and each food type differs from one another. The snakes inherit from an abstract class called BaseSnake, and the food items inherit from BaseFood. The high scores at the main menu are updated, and persist via JSON recording even when the game is closed. This game showcases the four pillars of OOP both in the code, and in its presentation.
