A Winter Wonderland In this lab, we'll use OOP for graphics programming and add some interactivity to the application.
Your Classes
The Drawable Class
In this week's lecture we discussed how we can used object oriented programming concepts to make graphics applications more organized and easier to create. One of the things that we'll leverage is inheritance, polymorphism, and abstract base classes.
We have included drawable. py that contains an abstract base class called (shocker) Drawable
Interactivity
Finally, we'll allow the spacebar to toggle the animation. That is, the first time it is hit, all the snowflakes stop falling. The next time, they resume falling. Etc…
Extra Credit
For extra credit, when a Snowflake is spawned also assign it a maximum y value that is somewhere (randomly) between the start of the ground plane and the bottom of it. Then when a Snowflake hits its maximum y value, it no longer animates. This should make it look like the snow is sticking to the ground!
Scoring
The score for the assignment is determined as follows:
25 pts - Implemented and Demonstrated the Rectangle derived class
25 pts - Implemented and Demonstrated the Snowflake derived class<
35 pts - Create the basic animation correctly
15 pts - Spacebar correctly toggles animation
