[NFBCS] Code HS Python Course

[Peter Mark]

yes, you can do this.
making the graphic is all by the numbers.
think about the grid in your head.
like braille dots but just o a bigger scale

try it before you give up.

An alternative assignment I can think of would be to write a program to ask a question.  If somebody answers a question one way, one thing could be printed to the screen.  If the person answers another way, something else could be printed to the screen.
