[Tutor] Python information

[Rob]

Actually, the way I think of programming, each object is the master of its
own existence in a way.

Let's say you're programming your robot dinosaur to trash the GauldBot and
the YooMinator. You don't need to worry about programming a way to affect
their hit points. Each bot is programmed such that if XYZ damage happens to
it, a certain toll is taken on its systems (such as a hit point drop,
although we could make it more interesting, like if your targeting array is
hit you can't target). The code for each object is only concerned with the
operations of that object, not with the operations of other objects.

For instance, the cannonball object isn't worried about the implementations
of the objects firing it or that it's being fired at. But if you want to
fire one, you program your bot to fire a cannonball, etc.

This is some of the simple beauty of object-oriented programming (OOP).
