I’ve changed my background from a stock internet photo to one I created myself.
First of all I wrote a little python program that generated a random 0 or 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
import random message="" for item in range(3000): number=random.randint(0,1) message=message + str(number) print(message) |
I then took a screenshot of the resulting console window and cropped it with IrfanView. I made a negative of the image and swapped the RGB colours before saving it as a PNG file.
I then uploaded the file and set it as a time background, it needs a little crop as it’s a couple of pixels too wide on one edge.
I’m sure you can think of a way that you could use this technique to create even better backgrounds with patterns or hidden messages.
I was asked in class how we can create a table in Python. There are a number of ways to do this but the easiest is probably to use the .format method.
The program reads in data from a CSV file before displaying the information in a two column table. There is a lot of internal commentary you can strip out leaving just the code.
The main part of the program is line 28. Where the contents of names and scores are displayed one line at a time with padding to make them appear to be in a table.
A lot of people find reading from a sequential file difficult. Well lets break it down, first of all what is a sequential file? A sequential file is a text based (ASCII or UNICODE) file that is made up of both printing and non printing characters. The end of the file is signalled with EoF, often programmers put data in separate lines using a new line character. Sometimes the files are in CSV format, which means that each line holds a records worth of data.
The basic premise of any Python read file access is
This post will mostly be focused on different ways of doing step 2.
These are the notes I took on the board today, you should now start to put them into your powerpoint at home. Make sure that also include an example question and answer from the past papers.
The Prelim exam for National 5 and Higher Computing Science classes will take place on Wednesday the 20th of January 2016. Both exams will start at 11:30am in the Hall.

A trace table is used by a programmer to help simulate the running of a program. The programmer dry runs the program, as they trace each line of code with their finger they record the values in a table that includes the line number of the program.
This is similar to TRACS but it requires the programmer to remember a lot more.
