These are the assignment programs submitted in " An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" course conducted by Professors Joe Warren, Scott Rixner, John Greiner, Stephen Wong of Rice University in Coursera . Professor Scott Rixner has built this ingenious website  Codeskulptor which intreprets the Python programs and runs them online.. He also made a Python package simplegui used in this website, sadly these programs will run only in this website.. I'm adding the program links to codeskulptor... These programs work as per the guidelines specified by the Professors.. Neither more nor less....
