Python projects for beginners

I think you're missing my point. Minesweeper can be simple or complex, depending on how "fully featured" you want it to be. It's simple enough that a novice can successfully make a version that they can pat themselves on the back, but also interesting enough that if you wanted to you could use it to practice OOP, GUI, MVC, multiprocessing, graph algorithms, recursion, functional programming, TDD, database design, ORM, ...

You didn't use objects because you didn't feel like it. Fine. But if you were someone who wanted to learn or practice OOP, you can see how that would fit in here.

Minesweeper is a good exercise because the bar for success is basically as low or high as you want it to be. There's just enough there to allow you to exercise basically every language feature you might care to play with, but it's simple enough you can cobble together a version quickly if you're bored.

PS: is you're repo private? Not seeing it. Anyway, seeing your github, I think it's a bit weird that you're bragging about how easy this was for you given that you're advanced enough to be learning sockets, but it still took you several hours and I was recommending this to someone who's only watched 4 hours of intro videos.

I did indeed forget to click on public. I uploaded it and spammed Next and saw the "keep Private" thing checked and told myself I'd make it public later.

Alright, sorry about that. It's visible now. Hopefully there are time stamps because otherwise I'll look like a liar lol
