=== How to play Reflection ===

Click on the dots to change the colors until you have a reflective symmetry.

Click on the dots to change the colors until you have a reflective symmetry across a line of reflection.

'''Did you know''' that you can share Reflection and play with up to 3 others?

# an area for messages

# the ~~Activity-stop~~ Button

# the Robot Button (the robot will help you make your pattern)

* Could you modify Reflections so that it supports rotational symmetry?

* Could you modify Reflections so that it supports glide symmetry?

=== Where to get Reflection ===

We created Reflection in a few short steps:

# made a clone of the Turtle in a Pond activity

# made a [[0.94/Notes#View_Source:_duplicate_option_for_an_activity|clone]] of the Turtle in a Pond activity

# made a git repository for the new project

# made a [[Activity_Team/Git_FAQ#How_do_I_create_a_new_project.3F|git repository]] for the new project

# changed the activity.info file to reflect the name of our new activity

# changed the [[Development_Team/Almanac/Activity_Bundles#.info_file_format|activity.info]] file to reflect the name of our new activity

# ~~changed~~ the activity icon

# created the [[Development_Team/Almanac/Making_Icons|activity icon]]

# changed the name of TurtlePondActivity.py to ReflectionActivity.py

# changed the name of the Class defined in ReflectionActivity.py to <code>class ReflectionActivity(activity.Activity)</code>

# changed the [[Development_Team/Almanac/sugar.activity.activity#How_do_I_create_a_new_activity_that_is_derived_from_the_base_Activity_class.3F|name of the Class]] defined in ReflectionActivity.py to <code>class ReflectionActivity(activity.Activity)</code>

# removed the buttons we didn't need

# edited game.py:

Line 62:

Line 68:

All of this was done in less than two hours.

We then created an XO bundle, uploaded it to activities.sugarlabs.org and created this page in the wiki, about one hour of work.

We then created an [[Activity_Team#setup.py|XO bundle]], uploaded it to activities.sugarlabs.org and created this page in the wiki, about one hour of work.

For Version 2, we added [[Development_Team/Almanac/sugar.activity.activity#How_do_I_implement_a_write_file_method_for_my_activity_in_order_to_persist_my_activity_in_the_journal.3F|saving game state to the Journal]], added a few more game options, and collaborative play (by grabbing the collaboration code from [[Activities/Paths]]), an additional two hours of work.

For Version 2, we ~~added saving game state to the Journal,~~ added a ~~few more game options,~~ and ~~collaborative play, an additional two hours of work~~.

For Version 3, we added a robot help function and better feedback for when you complete the pattern.
