An Educational Game to Learn Algorithmic
DonatelloPyzza is a simple and educational game to help beginners learn algorithmic and Python from high school to university. A turtle can move through a grid and touch each cell until it finds the pizza. The objective is to build the most efficient algorithm to find the pizza with the least amount of movement in a large number of maze configurations. To do this, you have access to a simple game interface allowing you to move your turtle and retrieve a feedback after each action.
This game can be used by several kind of learners:
for young beginners: they can hard-code a path to help the turtle find its pizza in small predefined mazes.
for beginners: they can develop intuitive heuristics to find the pizza in automatically generated mazes.
for intermediate or advanced developers: they can develop a complex path finding method or AI-based solutions and assess their solution automatically on a high number of automatically generated mazes.
