You\u2019ll use what you learn to create your own text-based adventure game. You will have the chance to share your code with other learners, and to see theirs. If you\u2019re an educator, you\u2019ll also be able to develop ideas for using object-oriented programming in your classroom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurelearn.com\/partners\/raspberry-pi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The course starts today (4th September) and you can sign up here<\/a>.
