Intermediate Python
Kurono is intended to be used by schools with a class of pupils. Your teacher will select the level for the class and you will all complete the challenges at the same time.
The aim of the Game
Kurono is an online multiplayer game that allows players to program their avatars to respond to the environment around them.
A player must instruct their avatar to perform actions such as search and collect objects. You do this by creating a subroutine of Python code. This code is run by Kurono when it is your turn.
Players should have some Python experience already. There is a Kurono guide for more information on the pre-built functions that can be used in the game.
