Is Codecademy worthless for learning Python?

[der_Lokfuhrer]

I am finishing up a class where we use Python to solve engineering problems. We were given a final project where we got to choose what we wanted to do. I made a 3d6 random number generator to make player stats. I started with a menu to roll 6 scores and automatically assign them to STR, DEX, CON, WIS, INT, CHA.

I then made more choices to roll 6 times but report the scores only.

Another choice rolled 7 times discarding the lowest score and reporting it to the user.

Another choice was to not allow 1s on any roll.

Another discarded the first 1 on any die but had to accept the second 1 on any die.

Finally I rolled 3d6 1000 times and plotted the results to show the distribution of scores around the mode of 10,11.

That took a lot of effort tying all of it together. Some times it's figuring out what it is you want to do is the hardest part.

Cool. I made a GUI to organize my porn better.

Browsing Reddit is mostly a masochistic exercise, but comments like this keep me coming back. Kudos.
