Project Title

PyBe Discovery Lab — The Gates of Rajgad

Topic Covered

Python Decorators

Project Overview

This project is an interactive, story-driven learning module designed to teach the concept of Python Decorators in an engaging and beginner-friendly way.

Instead of introducing decorators through abstract programming examples, the project explains the concept using the historical security protocol of Rajgad Fort (1665 CE). The learner first understands the story and then discovers how it maps directly to the execution flow of a Python decorator.

Learning Objective

The project demonstrates the three execution phases of a Python decorator:

• BEFORE – Authentication and verification by Subedar Yesaji Kank
• MAIN FUNCTION – Messenger delivers the royal message
• AFTER – Exit is recorded in the Rojkird (official fort ledger)

This helps beginners understand the decorator execution sequence:

BEFORE → MAIN FUNCTION → AFTER

Features

• Canvas-based particle effects

Technologies Used

• HTML5
• CSS3
• JavaScript (Vanilla)
• Canvas API
• Google Fonts

Submission Notes
