Lab Title: Pokémon Adventure: Exploring Objects, Classes, and Data Structures in Python

**Lab Overview:**

In this lab, students will embark on a Pokémon-themed adventure to learn about object-oriented programming in Python. By creating classes to represent different Pokémon and using data structures to manage Pokémon battles, students will gain hands-on experience with objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and more.

**Lab Objectives:**

1. Understand the concepts of objects and classes in Python. 2. Implement a class hierarchy to represent Pokémon and their abilities. 3. Utilize data structures to manage Pokémon battles and trainer interactions.

**Lab Exercises:**

1. **Setting the Stage:** - Introduction to the Pokémon world and its characters. - Overview of object-oriented programming concepts in Python.

2. **Creating Pokémon Classes:** - Define a base class for Pokémon, including attributes such as name, type, and level. - Implement specific Pokémon subclasses with unique attributes and abilities.

Below is an example of how you can define a base class for Pokémon and implement specific Pokémon subclasses with unique attributes and abilities in Python:

```python class Pokemon: def __init__(self, name, pokemon_type, level): self.name = name self.type = pokemon_type self.level = level self.health = level * 10 # Set health based on level self.strength = level * 2 # Set strength based on level

def __repr__(self): return f"{self.name} - Type: {self.type}, Level: {self.level}, Health: {self.health}, Strength: {self.strength}"

class Pikachu(Pokemon): def __init__(self, level=5): super().__init__("Pikachu", "Electric", level) self.attack = "Thunderbolt" self.defense = "Quick Attack"

class Bulbasaur(Pokemon): def __init__(self, level=5): super().__init__("Bulbasaur", "Grass", level) self.attack = "Vine Whip" self.defense = "Razor Leaf"

class Charmander(Pokemon): def __init__(self, level=5): super().__init__("Charmander", "Fire", level) self.attack = "Ember" self.defense = "Scratch"

class Squirtle(Pokemon): def __init__(self, level=5): super().__init__("Squirtle", "Water", level) self.attack = "Water Gun" self.defense = "Bite"

class Mewtwo(Pokemon): def __init__(self, level=70): super().__init__("Mewtwo", "Psychic", level) self.attack = "Psychic" self.defense = "Barrier" ```

In this example: - We define a base class `Pokemon` with attributes such as name, type, level, health, and strength. The `__init__` method initializes these attributes based on the input level. - We then create specific Pokémon subclasses such as `Pikachu`, `Bulbasaur`, `Charmander`, `Squirtle`, and `Mewtwo`, each of which inherits from the `Pokemon` class. - Each specific Pokémon subclass initializes the base attributes through the `super().__init__` call and sets unique attributes like attacks (`attack`) and defenses (`defense`) specific to that Pokémon.

You can now create objects of these Pokémon classes to represent individual Pokémon and their attributes:

```python pikachu = Pikachu(10) bulbasaur = Bulbasaur(8) charmander = Charmander(12) squirtle = Squirtle(9) mewtwo = Mewtwo(70)

print(pikachu) print(bulbasaur) print(charmander) print(squirtle) print(mewtwo) ```

When you run this code, it will create Pokémon objects with their specific attributes such as name, type, level, health, strength, and unique attacks and defenses. This provides a foundation for organizing Pokémon classes and objects with their associated attributes and abilities as part of the Pokémon-themed learning guide.

3. **Pokémon Battles:** - Design a data structure to manage Pokémon battles, including trainers, active Pokémon, and battle actions. - Implement methods for Pokémon to attack, defend, and use special abilities.

Here's an example of how you can design a data structure to manage Pokémon battles and implement methods for Pokémon to attack, defend, and use special abilities in Python:

First, let's create a simple `Battle` class to manage Pokémon battles:

```python class Battle: def __init__(self, trainer1_pokemon, trainer2_pokemon): self.trainer1_pokemon = trainer1_pokemon self.trainer2_pokemon = trainer2_pokemon

def conduct_battle(self): print(f"A wild {self.trainer2_pokemon.name} appeared!") while self.trainer1_pokemon.health > 0 and self.trainer2_pokemon.health > 0: # Trainer 1's turn self.trainer1_pokemon.attack(self.trainer2_pokemon) if self.trainer2_pokemon.health <= 0: print(f"{self.trainer2_pokemon.name} fainted!") break # Trainer 2's turn self.trainer2_pokemon.attack(self.trainer1_pokemon) if self.trainer1_pokemon.health <= 0: print(f"{self.trainer1_pokemon.name} fainted!") break if self.trainer1_pokemon.health > 0: print(f"{self.trainer1_pokemon.name} wins!") else: print(f"{self.trainer2_pokemon.name} wins!")

def heal_pokemons(self): self.trainer1_pokemon.health = 100 self.trainer2_pokemon.health = 100 ```

Next, we can modify the `Pokemon` class to include the `attack` method, which reduces the opponent's health:

```python class Pokemon: # ... (previous attributes and methods)

def attack(self, opponent): print(f"{self.name} attacks {opponent.name} using {self.attack}!") opponent.health -= self.strength ```

Now, we can create Pokémon objects and initiate battles:

```python # Create Pokémon objects pikachu = Pikachu(10) bulbasaur = Bulbasaur(8) charmander = Charmander(12)

# Heal Pokémon battle = Battle(pikachu, bulbasaur) battle.heal_pokemons()

# Run 3 battles for _ in range(3): print("Starting a new battle!") battle.conduct_battle() print("Healing all Pokémon for the next battle...") battle.heal_pokemons() ```

When you run this code, it will initiate three Pokémon battles using the created `Battle` class and the `conduct_battle` method. The battles will continue until one of the Pokémon's health reaches zero. After each battle, the Pokémon will be healed for the next battle. This demonstrates how you can manage Pokémon battles using a simple data structure and methods for Pokémon to attack and defend.

I hope this gives you a starting point for implementing Pokémon battles within your Python learning guide.

4. **Expanding the Adventure:** - Extend the Pokémon classes to include evolutionary relationships. - Introduce the concept of interfaces or abstract classes for Pokémon training aspects.

Let's extend the Pokémon classes to include evolutionary relationships and introduce the concept of interfaces or abstract classes for Pokémon training aspects in Python.

First, we can modify the `Pokemon` base class to include an `evolve` method and the concept of an abstract class for training aspects using Python's `abc` module.

```python from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class Pokemon(ABC): def __init__(self, name, pokemon_type, level): # Previous attributes and methods self.evolved_form = None

@abstractmethod def evolve(self): pass

@abstractmethod def train(self): pass

class Pikachu(Pokemon): # Previous initialization and methods

def evolve(self): if self.level >= 10: print(f"{self.name} is evolving into Raichu!") self.evolved_form = "Raichu" else: print(f"{self.name} is not ready to evolve yet.")

def train(self): print(f"{self.name} is training to get stronger!")

# Similar modifications for other specific Pokémon subclasses ```

In the example above, we've added the `evolve` method as an abstract method in the `Pokemon` base class and provided a concrete implementation for the `Pikachu` subclass. We've also introduced a `train` method as an additional abstract method that addresses Pokémon training aspects.

Now, let's create instances of Pokémon and demonstrate the evolving and training behavior:

```python pikachu = Pikachu(name="Pikachu", pokemon_type="Electric", level=8) print(pikachu) pikachu.train() pikachu.evolve() # Assuming Pikachu's level is at least 10

bulbasaur = Bulbasaur(name="Bulbasaur", pokemon_type="Grass", level=5) print(bulbasaur) bulbasaur.train() bulbasaur.evolve() ```

When you run this code, it will create instances of Pokémon and demonstrate the evolving and training behavior. The implementation of evolutionary relationships and the use of abstract classes for training aspects add depth to the Pokémon classes, enriching the Pokémon-themed learning guide.

5. **Mastering the Pokémon World:** - Challenge students to create their own Pokémon and integrate them into the existing class hierarchy. - Encourage students to design and implement additional features for the Pokémon world, such as a Pokémon Center or Gym environment.

**Lab Conclusion:**

In conclusion, this lab provides a hands-on opportunity for students to apply object-oriented programming principles in Python within the engaging context of the Pokémon universe. By creating a class hierarchy and using data structures to manage Pokémon interactions, students will gain practical experience in software development and information architecture.

Please note that the specific exercises and details can be customized based on the students' current skill level and the desired depth of learning. This provides a starting point for structuring the lab content around the Pokémon theme while focusing on key programming concepts.
