This game is a turtle version of the first scene in Lewis Carroll’s *Through the Looking-Glass*, which Alice spends sitting in an armchair trying to wind a ball of worsted while being distracted by two kittens. The blue turtle, Alice, moves in response to the user, while Kitty and Snowdrop (the black and white turtles, respectively) chase the yarn at random speeds. This gave me the opportunity to incorporate different types of code, as the autonomous movement requires different orders than the movement on command.
I finally managed to use the modules in a way that made logical and aesthetic sense, which pleases me greatly (the trick for me was coding with the organization in mind; anything that I wrote in the setup module never referred back to the game module, so there were no feedback errors). The classes were another exciting accomplishment, and they made a lot of sense for this program; for example, the two cat objects behave the same way but independently of each other, so I could write their behavior into the class and their specific actions into the game.
Probably the most difficult bit was working out the proper order for the in-game functions. They went through several incarnations, some redundant and some dysfunctional, before arriving in their current nested state. Transitioning between levels was, by my standards, complex, especially as it incorporated the level_two and level_up functions from the setup module.
My milestones stayed reasonably accurate; their specificity helped me keep the goals in mind, but I did end up changing some ideas as I figured out what was possible. The idea of multiple yarn balls depended on the resize function, which does not work in Trinket; having two cats instead of three does not change the game much. I ended up having two levels instead of counting a score within one. Apart from that, the whole project came out essentially as I imagined it.
