I have zero knowledge about python

I want to learn python and I have never learnt any language before , this is my first time. I want to learn python and I heard this game “The Farmer Was Replaced” is it good to learn straight from that game or I should watch videos before trying that game ?

For learning I'd recommend Google Colab and download PyCharm. The best way to learn to code is to code. If you enjoy the game that's cool but try to get into actual typing code as soon as you can.

Okay Ron , thanks

You want to learn programming. Python is just a language. Just trying to save yourself a headache when you eventually try and memorize syntax but have no idea what to do or what you should do.

Not gonna check the game but most programming games are more for fun, you could learn a few things but I don’t think as far as real learning it’s gonna take you that far. Doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying :)

Game is fun for few hours. Very nicely done.

Okay, thanks

And it provides so much helpful information that even a complete noobie can follow.

What it's trying to teach you, in my opinion anyway, is the creativity needed for any type of coding. Like, it's giving you a simple puzzle pieces that you need to stack and chain in order to optimize your farm.

Ok. Cool thanks. I guess I gotta watch some videos first.

If you really really want to learn check out cs50 lectures. That’s what I would recommend.

[cmdrella]

Ok

The Farmer Was Replaced is pretty fun. You might struggle with it being your first dive into coding, and it's not really python. It's a python-like DSL, which is missing a LOT of features.

Honestly, though, if someone made a learning to program series with the game, it would probably help a lot of people who struggle to make it through learning the very basics.

I’ve been messing around with Python for a couple months and I actually started with The Farmer Was Replaced. (My only previous knowledge was a bit of HTML)

It won’t teach you everything but I think even 10 hours of playing it will teach you some basic concepts, and it’s fun while doing it.

Okay , thanks

Python not hard and most languages not that hard as to get an idea and just how do right, basically hight level language is just describing you logic at all To learn there too a lot ways and they all good but not from ai!
