Programming 3 - Lesson 6

What is the purpose of the pygame.joystick.init() function?

• To create a joystick object

• To set the speed of the joystick

• To initialize the joystick module and allow the program to detect controllers

• To display the joystick on the screen

What does the // operator do in Python?

• Comments out code

• Performs floor division (divides and rounds down to nearest integer)

• Checks if a number is divisible by another

• Divides two numbers and returns a floating point result

What range of values does an analog stick on a controller typically return in Pygame?

• 0 to 100

• 0 to 255

• -1 to 1

• -100 to 100

What does clock.tick(60) do in a Pygame game loop?

• Makes the game run for exactly 60 seconds

• Limits the game to running at 60 frames per second

• Creates a timer that counts to 60

• Pauses the game for 60 milliseconds

What is the purpose of pygame.joystick.get_count()?

• Counts how many times a button is pressed

• Returns the number of joystick objects

• Initializes the joystick module

• Sets the speed of the joystick

In the lesson, why did we use min() and max() functions when updating the robot's position?

• To make the robot move at a minimum or maximum speed

• To keep the robot within the screen boundaries

• To determine the minimum and maximum positions of the controller

• To calculate the average position of the robot

What does git push -u origin main do?

• Creates a new branch called main

• Pulls changes from the remote repository

• Initializes the main branch

• Pushes local commits to the remote repository and sets it as the upstream branch

What does joystick.get_axis(0) return in the context of the lesson?

• The speed of the first joystick

• The name of the first button

• The horizontal position of the left analog stick

• The number of axes on the joystick

What command would you use to create a new branch and switch to it?

• git branch new_branch

• git checkout new_branch

• git switch new_branch

• git switch -c new_branch

What Pygame event type is used to detect when a controller button is pressed?

• pygame.KEYDOWN

• pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN

• pygame.JOYBUTTONDOWN

• pygame.QUIT
