You are inheriting a code base. You cannot start from scratch and build your own, because you will almost never get that opportunity on the job. You must read the current code with your teammates and try to understand what it is doing. Then you must refactor it - even if it means deleting some of the code that currently exists - to build the rest of the features.
The goal of this group project, likely more than any other one, is to learn. Focusing on productivity is something you will need to worry about on the job. Have fun with this code, make lots of mistakes, refactor them, and learn about what you can do with Python.
This will be a large challenge. How will you respond to it? Attack it with excitement, or withdraw from it in defeat? Time to see how far you have come with working on your Growth Mindset.
- Everyone clone the repository
cdto the project directory- Run the command
pip install -r requirements.txt - Run the command
python index.pyto start your application (do not use AREPL for this project)
- You will not learn anything in this group project if you don't communicate well with each other.
- You will not get anything done if you don't communicate well with each other.
- Collaboration is key in this project. Working solo will get you nowhere.
- Showing up late, extended lunches, going home early and leaving your team stranded will get you pulled off the team.
- Create pull request and issue ticket templates for your team.
You and your friends have decided to connect with the earth again and abandon your reliance on technology and urban vices. You have decided to move to Hawaii and join the land management team for the Keahua Arboretum.
You have met with other foresters and land managers and have decided on the animals and plants below to focus on growing and maintaining for the arboretum.
Listed below are the different biomes, or habitats, that exist in the arboretum and how many new plants and animals that can be introduced into it.
| Mountain | Grassland | River | Forest | Swamp | Coastline | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 4 plants 6 animals |
15 plants 22 animals |
6 plants 12 animals |
32 plants 20 animals |
12 plants 8 animals |
3 plants 15 animals |
| Characteristics | High elevation | Little rainfall, No shade |
Fresh water | Rainy, Shady |
Stagnant fresh water | Saltwater |
This is a list of animals that you and your teammates are in charge of raising, feeding (when needed), releasing, and tracking. Animals should not be released into the wild before their recommended release age. Animals should not be fed anything other than their recommended prey.

Fancy web applications are so 2018. Command line applications provide a much more hands-on, personal, bespoke, artisinal experience when managing an arboretum like Keahua. Therefore, even though you are casting off your digital personas to lead a life connected with the land, you still want to use your hard-earned skills as developers to make management of the land as efficient as possible.
Here are the main features that the application must be able to perform.
When the user first executes KILLER, they should be welcomed to the system and be presented with the following menu.

A helpful hint to get you started. You need a Arboretum class. This class will contain lists for each kind of biomes that you want to assign animals or plants to.
class Arboretum:
def __init__(self):
self.__rivers = []
@property
def rivers(self):
return self.__rivers
def annex_river(self, river):
self.__rivers.append(river)
