Pydle

[00:00:01]Welcome to Pytle Day 145.

[00:00:04]Pytle is a daily puzzle you need to solve by writing Python code.

[00:00:09]Um just first before we start um something strange happened the last 30 hours.

[00:00:16]Uh can look at the graph of invocations uh of Pytle.

[00:00:23]So, it's gone from very little to 17,000 per hour.

[00:00:28]So, I'm very grateful those playing Pytle. Really interested to know where you found out about Pytle.

[00:00:36]Okay.

[00:00:37]So, today's Pytle is a mushroom from Super Mario Brothers.

[00:00:43]So, have a go at solving that.

[00:00:45]Um if you need the Pytle or you just want some hints how to solve Pytle then um I will now solve yesterday's Pytle which was a scorpion.

[00:00:59]Um so, stick around.

[00:01:03]Okay. So, um there's not any symmetry in this uh puzzle, so we're just going to keep our two loops uh for X in range and for Y in range um looping over the 25 pixels.

[00:01:16]Okay. So, let's tackle the yellows first.

[00:01:22]So, the condition for yellow is if uh Y less than two cuz remember we're counting from the top. So, 0 1, so Y less than two and X we just can do X in 2, 4.

[00:02:03]>> Okay.

[00:02:05]Is it the um the yellow bits? Um okay, so let's tackle the brown snake.

[00:02:17]So, elif and browns we going to just have a condition for Y which is what one less than Y less than four and X equals three.

[00:02:33]Cuz it's just on that vertical there.

[00:02:34]So, X is constant and Y is just in that range.

[00:02:39]Okay, let's move to that.

[00:02:49]That's the browns.

[00:02:53]Okay, and now for the orange.

[00:02:59]We need an elif cuz we're going to leave the rest of the pixels black.

[00:03:04]Um so, I've got X equals zero.

[00:03:10]Um now we need to limit the the Y.

[00:03:17]Um so, we can either say X is zero and Y not in 0,4 or Y equals four and X in 1,2 Basically, there's various ways of doing that. Um That's one way to do it, and it's quite compact.

[00:04:10]Okay.

[00:04:12]That's also Poodle.

[00:04:13]Yesterday, if you didn't play yesterday's Poodle, have a go.

[00:04:17]Um and then uh do play today's Poodle.

[00:04:23]And I'll see you again tomorrow uh for the solution. And thank you for everyone who's been playing. Keep on playing. Thank you.
