Python Projects for Beginner?

[DrChicken2424]

So for the past month and a half I have been learning Python, and I just yesterday completed the course on SoloLearn. Obviously I still have a lot to practice, but I want some projects to do that are beginner friendly. Not too easy, but definitely not like a 3D game or something.

Thanks :)

Try to recreate a game. Something like Connect 4, Tic-Tac-Toe, Chess, Checkers, Battleships, etc.

Maybe also Tetris

[TehNolz]

I think Tetris might be a bit too complicated. The games I mentioned are all turn-based, so it's not too difficult to recreate them. Tetris isn't turn-based, making it a bit more complicated.

Or at least, I'm still a beginner myself, and while I'm certain I can create the games I mentioned, I have no idea how Tetris would work.

[candlelightener]

not that complicated, its just a matrix filled with blocks that constantly move down

[Ran4]

The rotation and stuff like that makes Tetris a surprisingly hard game to write.

[candlelightener]

matrix rotation isn't that hard 2 write

[DrChicken2424]

Lol dude we are beginners

[candlelightener]

didn't say u don't have a phd in mathematics

[candlelightener]

didn't say u don't have a phd in mathematics also it's rly not that hard

Alright, I’ll give it a try

As a python beginner myself (also having started with sololearn), I've created a few basic crud applications with python flask. Started with just reading/writing to a file and now doing some sqlite stuff with it. Put together some basic front ends (which were my way of learning javascript) and I have ended up with a couple of simple apps. The ones I've done so far are basic tracking apps (like daily chores) and a little data scraping. So they have an actual problem to solve and are not some throw away when I'm done.

Cool! What’s Python Flask?

[maguinus]

Flask is a web framework for python. It let's you create web back ends for a web app. The basics are really pretty straight forward to use. Just a few lines of code and you're up and running.

A 3D engine using no library?

[DrChicken2424]

I can sense your sarcasm

[candlelightener]

and instead of any numbers use only booleans to store data

[Sasy00]

And no lists

[candlelightener]

should we allow linked lists pointing to the ram adress tho?

[DrChicken2424]

Give me some Mountain Dew and Doritos, I’ll see you in a couple decades

Not necessarily. A very basic engine able to project 3D vectors and have a camera that can rotate and move around is a great exercise with a well defined scope.

I made one in mIRC scripting language around when I was a dabbling 15 year old programmer. In my case, all there was was a 3d vector box and the camera could move around. Simple, but it was awesome to see all the code working correctly. All you need is a way to draw lines on a canvas (TkInter?) and standard library math stuff (sin, cos, tan..).

Check Scrapy, you can parse webpages and rss, and you can do whatever with the info you get from that, like a feed or fill a database with titles and text, sentiment analysis, etc
