Project 2 — Target Practice 🎯

Draw an archery target on screen, shoot arrows at it, and use Python’s if/elif/else to score points based on where each arrow lands.

🎯 What you’ll build

A bullseye target with red and white rings. Each time you run your program, an arrow lands at a random spot and Python scores it: bullseye, inner ring, outer ring, or miss.

🧩 Python you’ll meet

• turtle drawing with circles and fill
• random.randint (recap from Project 1)
• math.sqrt to measure distance

• if / elif / else — Python’s way of picking between options

• 🧩 5 steps
• ⏱️ About 30 minutes
• 🏆 Type: Explore

Note: RPF’s original Target Practice uses the p5 graphics library. Our editor supports turtle instead, so the drawing code looks different — but the Python concept (if/elif/else) is the same.
