A film society has over 300 members who are able to borrow from its library of more than 1000 classic films. There is more than one copy of some films. The films may be held in video cassette form, DVD form, or, in some cases, both.

Members pay an annual membership fee that allows them to borrow films free of charge. Members can only have one film out on loan at a time. Loans are not permitted to extend beyond seven days.

The film society needs a database to contain details of its members, its films and those films currently out on loan.

The Magic 8 Ball is a toy used for fortune-telling or seeking advice, manufactured by Mattel and developed in the 1950s.  It is often used in fiction, often for humour related to it giving very accurate, very inaccurate, or otherwise statistically improbable answers. You must design and write a program that recreates the Magic 8 Ball experience.

A dog that is 5 Years old is equivalent to a 42 year old human.

The human equivalent age is calcuated using the following method:

• The user inputs the age of the dog in years
• If the age is 2 or less, the human equivalent is 12 times the age.
• If the age is more than 2, the human equivalent is 24 for the first 2 years plus 6 for every additional year.

Write a program that converts the age of a dog to the equivalent for a human.

Introduction

This challenge is taken from © The Coding Club Python books written by Chris Roffey, which serve as an excellent introduction to Python for younger age groups. The challenge is simple.   Write a Etch A Sketch program that recreates the popular 70s/80s Etch A Sketch toy.

Complex behaviour arises out of very simple rules. Here’s a simple set of rules for your “ant” to follow that makes an interesting display. 1. If the ant is on a black square, it turns right 90° and moves forward one unit. 2. If the ant is on a white square, it turns left 90° and moves forward one unit. 3. When the ant leaves a square, it inverts the color.
