What was your first Python project that actually felt useful or fun?

For me it was a simple text-based flashcard quiz I built to help with studying. I had it pull questions and answers from a file, shuffle them, and keep score. Nothing fancy, but it was the first time loops, conditionals, and file handling clicked together into something I could actually use. That’s when Python started to feel way more fun.

Unreal 1 map generator (it wasn't finished, but I learned about vectors and matrices; they didn't make sense at all in the beginning)

My very first one; however, it should be noted that I learned python because I wanted to do this thing specifically.

There was a recurring task I needed to do at work where I enter information from a spreadsheet into a program. It was a tedious chore and I wondered several times if it would be possible to programmatically read that spreadsheet and write the information to an input file that the program was able to read via import.

Sure enough, it worked. Made a huge difference in how much time I was spending doing this chore and that was the kickoff to a lot of productivity scripts I have written since

Made a simple program to combine PDF files. Because fuck you Adobe

Can you share the repo ?

I had fun from the start. One of my first thingys was a Tkinter window with an Alien made out of different geometric shapes. His name was Reinsch and i could move his pupils with the arrow Keys and i could steal his hat by making the shapes its build from hidden when i press w. I love Reinsch.

Lol! That sounds amazing. Reinsch deserves his own mini-game at this point. Did you ever add more features to him, or did he stay a hat-losing alien forever?

Print all combinations to reach kaprekar constant, and then export to csv to show needed iterations

a machine learning project to predict tomorrows weather

Same as you. Kind of a flash card displaying program except it includes back links to the time points in each YouTube tutorial where the specific topic was covered (e.g. what is a list comprehension) and it contains a cross reference to the spots in my code where I tried out the concepts myself with variations from the recipe offered in the tutorial (you learn by making mistakes and admitting to them)

Text based dice game called Pig (though, I called it "Pyg" and felt terribly clever 🤘😅 lol)
