Get creative and write your own MadLib

Here's your chance to get creative! Using the things you've learned throughout this challenge, write your own MadLib!

1. Open Wing IDE and create a new file.

2. You may want to plan your story out on paper first - what variables will you need?

3. You may choose to start by writing the code for getting information from the player first, or by writing the story first.

4. If you have trouble with the code, try using Google to figure out your problems. Or, you can ask your questions in the discussion area below.

5. When you're done, copy and paste the code for your MadLib into the discussion area below. That way, other people can play your MadLib!

6. To play someone else's MadLib, copy someone's code from the discussion area below, and paste it into the top-left corner of a new file in Wing IDE. Click the green "play" arrow and play the game in the lower-right corner. Let others know what you think of their MadLibs!

The cute sun loomed smarly over the whale.

In moments like this we remember our most likely to be on America's Most Wanted cat.

How often is it that we flew the fish?

As of right now I don't undestand the %s character reference. I can see what it does but I am going to look up a novice definition and post it up with my Mad Lib original tomorrow. Python definitions can be confusing. Cool tutorial.

Nice!

The high sun loomed yesterday over the airplane.
In moments like this we remember our highest boat.
How often is it that we jump the car?

I tried to give you a badge but none seemed to be defined. Did you already get one for the Madlib?
