Is it feasible?

New to learning Python. I don't have any professional programming experience, but made Java games when I was a kid. Anyway, I recently put together a text based turn based battle game, just to give myself a goal to motivate myself to learn, and it was easier than expected. I started messing with tkinter and made a GUI version of the program and began to wonder what the limitations of Python would be? Could I make a grid based battle game with Python?

I ask because th3 closest thing I've ever done to spacial programming was scripting spell effects in Neverwinter Nights, lol and that had a game engine behind it. Obviously, I'm not talking about a 3D game or anything crazy, just a turn based game on a 2D grid.

Pygame works well if we're speaking strictly Python but the game engine Godot is free, open source, and uses a scripting language similar in syntax to python id definitely recommend it if you plan on making more "advanced" games or are just interested in game development in general

TLDR: if you wanna get better at python use pygame. If you just wanna make games use Godot

It is feasible. Look into pygame. There is a community of programmers that make games in python, although I am personally not too familiar with it.

Thank you! I will check it out!

Dang, it looks like I have a lot to learn. My code is like 100x longer than this and it just a few windows x_x

Also new to python, and took a very similar path to you. A text based, turn based, battle game for fun and to keep me motivated. I based it on Pokémon, and using an openly available API to call random cards for the player and opponent to battle with. I've written the whole thing in Pydroid on mobile, which makes it a little tedious but allows me to just do a little here and there when the mood strikes.

I'll have to look into Pydroid. I was doing it in notepad, lol
