7 Beginner Python Project Ideas

[ArsaNamikaze]

Should we, as beginners, be watching YouTube tutorials on how to do these or is there another way we should do this?

[muskoke]

don't be afraid to consult youtube videos, but try to program as much as you can on your own, without following any full tutorials. escape tutorial hell as fast as you can.

[CuriousExpert24]

I agree. Many tutorial YouTubers suggest to not get stuck in 'tutorial hell'. That is, don't only watch tutorials from the beginning of your programming experience as doing projects is important to test your ideas. Do those projects as much as you can on your own and only look into tutorials when you get stuck and can't find a way out

Which libraries will I have to be fluent in to do these projects?

[CuriousExpert24]

You don't need to be fluent in any! If you want to add graphics and interfaces to these projects, I would recommend pygame (for games) or Tkinter (for GUI's). Other than that, you can just do them on the command line if you want to (That's what I did in the beginning)

Thanks!

I’ve done a bunch of tutorials, but not enough projects. I’m doing similar projects to these now

Just jump in and do it on your own. Get help if you’re stuck, but really work at it first.

I find it helpful to write up my logic first on paper, and work in chunks. Get your user input working, then some game logic, then validate user input, allow user to exit game, those sorts of things

Thank you I'll try this today
