It will track their progress and offer a reward once enough chores have been completed. This python program project has been created\u00a0 and written with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz \u00a0 3.40 GHz and is operating on the Windows 10 Pro operating system, using Python Version 3.11. This project is to demonstrate knowledge of Python code using loops, functions, lists, dictionaries, and socket programing. This program uses a server that runs in the background managing the score levels and prize winnings of the users. The client program will be the program that is used for interface and inputting chore completion and offering rewards when goals are reached. The server and client programs will regularly communicate for recording work completed, prize awards, and total scores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This project is structured to help our family by encouraging self-motivation to earn future rewards. The way works is the children will enter their name that will coincide with a txt file that will record and track their scores. The program will update and record to the text file as chores are manually logged into the client program as seen in Figure 1.1 and then sent to the server program in Figure 1.2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The chore options are set up together with the prize options in a list named Choices. The program differentiates between chores and prizes based on their value, choices are a positive number, while prizes are negative numbers. The choices can be observed in Figure 1.3.<\/span><\/p>\n The program will read from each childs text file to know whether they have enough points for a prize. If enough points are available for a prize they will be prompted to pick one, otherwise they will be prompted to keep doing chores. This can be observed on the client\u2019s terminal in Figure 1.4.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0This selection and check can be observed through this if, else statement and for loops in Figure 1.5. This will display on the client computer when users log on to see what options they have for entry.<\/span><\/p>\n If the user memorizes the name of the prizes a check is in place to prevent them from selecting a prize before they have enough points as seen in Figure 1.5. <\/span><\/p>\n Once the user responds to the server that a chore was completed. It will disconnect and be ready to be relaunched for more chore submissions. This program has a function created for it that automatically combines the earned points with previously awarded points called getTotalpoints as seen in Figure 1.6\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once the predetermined goal value is reached by a user. A message will print on the client computer. \u201cGreat job you have earned enough points for a prize. Please log back in to select a prize.The code for this can be observed in Figure 1.7 and the terminal display once the user logs back in can be viewed in Figure 1.8. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Each user will have a text file labeled with their name to track their progress and hold this information for future access and record. This can be seen in Figure 1.9 where the user Huck has completed a variety of chores and has selected a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n A separate text file is used to hold all prize data so the administrator isn\u2019t challenged by reading through all completed work and prizes to find out what rewards need to be paid out. This can be observed in Figure 1.10.<\/span><\/p>\n This program uses a variety of Python coding techniques like loops, functions, lists, dictionaries, and socket programming to demonstrate my coding knowledge and understanding. The problem solved with this program creates a solution to a challenge that our family regularly faces by helping provide motivation for completion of chores by our children. It does this by requiring their self motivated work and receiving rewards..<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n Chore Incentive Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chore Incentive Client<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basic Cybersecurity Programming & Networking This course introduces students to the logic used to develop solutions to common problems in thecomputer science field using a contemporary high-level programming language, such as Python.
