An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python - Assignment Programs

These are the assignment programs submitted in "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" course conducted by Professors Joe Warren, Scott Rixner, John Greiner, Stephen Wong of
Rice University in Coursera.

Professor Scott Rixner has built this ingenious website Codeskulptor which intreprets the Python programs and runs them online.. He also made a Python package simplegui used in this website, sadly these programs will run only in this website.. I'm adding the program links to codeskulptor...

These programs work as per the guidelines specified by the Professors.. Neither more nor less....

Asteroids game using Python - Pygame module

Asteroids  is a  video   arcade game  released in  November 1979  by  Atari Inc.  It was one of the most popular and influential games of the  Golden Age of Arcade Games , selling 70,000  arcade cabinets .   Asteroids  uses a  vector display  and a two-dimensional view that wraps around in both screen axes. The player controls a spaceship in an  asteroid  field which is periodically traversed by  flying saucers . The object of the game is to shoot and destroy asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either, or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire. This game is similar to asteroids with some features...

Euphemisms and Political correctness - the lies we use to shun reality

“You're not allowed to call them dinosaurs anymore, it's  speciesist . You have to call them pre-petroleum persons.”   (Pratchett, 1996)   Even the simplest  of tools, when abused, produce  grave results. Euphemism is not a simple tool; it is one of the most powerful weapons in the linguistic arsenal. Political correctness, in linguistic terms, is a subset of euphemism. The most vocal proponents of political correctness purport that words affect thoughts. They argue that when the offensive words are suppressed, the thought process associated with those words will wither out from consciousness, though the current linguistic research does not support such claims. In most cases, the intent of not offending others is benign, but like any tool, it can also be abused by malevolent agencies to dissemble and suppress important words out of a discussion for their benefits in the name of political correctness and euphemisms. This shifts the focus from the real issue to the words

Creating jokes by violating Grice’s maxims

Without laughter, life would be a mistake. Laughing is inherent and essential in a human’s life. Humans, as a social animal, consider the laughter as an important signifier of acceptance. When the social group, one belongs to, laughs by the joke one made, the person considers the laughter signifies their acceptance in that group. (Provine, 2016). Laughter releases hormones called endorphins which can relieve physical pain. (Welsh, 2011) Researchers show that laughter can reduce stress hormones and that people who can recognize the humour in various situations have less likelihood to acquire heart disease. (Clark & Seidler, 2000) There are many theories which explain what causes a human to laugh. The simplest form of a comedy is physical comedy, like making funny faces or physical stunts. This is very common across culture and ages. This paper concentrates on one of the widely used means to evoke laughter, telling jokes. Analysing the jokes in relation with Grice’s maxims show t
