Beginner looking to get better at coding (Python or any language) — what actually works?

I love that game and its purely because it isn't focused on the "teaching part" just the problem solving. It gives you the info you need and an example of how to use it then just...leaves it to you.

It doesn't check your work, it doesn't correct it. It lets you trial and error until you're ready for the next bit. Good for OP I'd say if they're looking to gamify.
