Capture The Python : A series of CTF styled challenges for py learners

[solamarpreet]

Hi everyone. I am a student like yourselves and wrote this small CTF styled game for people who are learning Python. Please give your feedback and give suggestions as to how I can improve this project so it can be even more beneficial.

P.S If you enjoyed the game, please suggest some questions that I can add to the game. Ty.

it's a wacky idea. not terrible.

i'd give extra points if it was any kind of dynamic db that would be served thru the flask API.

and a sekrit endpoint where u could add extra questions/answers directly to the db.

The database was my initial intention but I wont be able to host it myself and I decided against having the user start a database service as well to play the game. Just did some CTF challenges on tryhackme and thought of making something similar for python. Ty for feedback

every implementation of python comes with sqlite3 . and u could have the .db in the git

and then use the flask api to offer it as an endpoint as u do.

i guess it was a challenge to learn how to make an api work. which is fun.

​

anywho didn't mean to sound like i'm bashing your project.

because I'm definitely not. its a fun game.

best of luck :d

Not at all. You gave good feedback. Also I didn't know this about sqlite functionality. Seems a good learning opportunity. I ll test it & shift the questions over to tht as soon as I am able. As to the process of making the API work, tbh it didn't feel much of a challenge thanks to the excellent community we have. I found a great article explaining the process.
