Hi everyone,
My students have been working on OOP for a few weeks now, and I think many
of them are ready to dig into a little meatier project. My first thought
was some sort of a simulation problem. (I just read the article referenced
in the Daily Python-URL. Good timing. [1])
I'm looking for ideas. What sort of simulation exercise is effective for
beginning programmers. I seem to recall working on a traffic simulation
years ago in college. But I don't remember the implementation details at
all anymore.
Thoughts?
