Programs that use python

The most comprehensive list of Python wins is at the Python web site, under python success stories 
Google, Yahoo, Washington Post web site, Plone content management system, Zope portal framework/application, etc.
Google and Yahoo originally rolled out much of their functionality written in Python. Where performance was an issue (obviously, the search engine party) they reprogrammed it in C or C++.
However, much of the non-performance critical modules today remain written in Python. When you are on these sites checking online help or doing some social/portal thing, take a look in the URL of the page you are looking at and see if there is a ".py" in there somewhere.
Google's new Application Engine is 100% Python. It is not just old functionality but also new functionality that is being coded in Python.
Google has made their development practices/philosophy pretty transparent to the outside world. They are very knowledgeable people, generally - and their programmers are encouraged to use a language that is a good fit for the software they are creating.
Many software projects managed/organized/monitored by Trac. Trac is written in Python.
Someone blogged a list of popular Python applications in How Python wins the web.
As an aside, Python won readers choice award in 2008 for Favorite Scripting Language. The survey was put out by Linux Journal magazine.

Today im blogging about my scratch game this will be a evaluation on my proggress on my game!
GAME TESTING STRATEGY & PLAN

I will test my game to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished

coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask

...........

to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for ......

Here are the tests:-

Test 1: The game must have clear instructions for the user
This is a very simple game that any one can play as you can see you can see from the picture below.















Test 2: The game must be error-free.
It has one error which is when the cookie gets clicked it does not go back to top also if you miss the cookie as it drops it gets stuck at the bottom of the game page















Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of ....

Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later

date to make alterations to it if needed.
I do not have many posts on my blog.

Test 5: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named

appropriately.
As you can see i have two costumes which is appropiate for my simple game





















Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.
as you can see from the top of my game it says "cookie count" sit counts how many times you clicked


















TESTING

Add screenshots to each of the test items above as evidence that you have tested them. For each test, explain

the various states of the program (e.g. show what happens when the score increases).

It is OK to include tests for the test items above that DO NOT work. Some parts not working are the normal

part of the process. You need to be honest. Explain what you would do to fix it if you had more time

EVALUATE In your blog, evaluate how well your game works. What are its strengths? How could

you improve it further if you had more time?
I think i can improve my game by finishing it and remove the errors stated above i can fix this error by putting a forever loop on the actions

Why do you name things in scratch?


Why do you name things in scratch?

You do this so you can be more organised with your sprites costumes and to make it easier to change between costumes. (as seen below)

Online Safety


Online safety is very important because you are prone to being bullied or stalked.
 Here are 10 tips for being safe online
1)      Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.
2)      Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself.  Once you’ve put  a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.
3)      Keep your privacy settings as high as possible
4)      Never give out your passwords
5)      Don’t befriend people you don’t know
6)      Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online.  Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do
7)      Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are
8)      Think carefully about what you say before you post something online
9)      Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude
10)   If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately.
