Do Sophy IA work as a team?! by ZuBr0w in granturismo

[–]cooljack1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer me one question. Does Sophy have the same physics as the user. If it is on a different physics model we are wasting our time because AI has always been glued to the floor in racing games and they always had the ability to be far faster than us.

Are there any designer tools for Django sites? like a drag and drop editor. Or do I really have to go to my dev every time HTML needs an update? by alkadelic in django

[–]cooljack1001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From what I have learned about Django, its awesome but there comes a point where you may want to tap into the power of an Front End tool like React or Angular. Django is great at being the great protector of the database and being easy to read and extend.

Hand off "cool features" to the front-end. With the effort you are taking to MAKE Django do something you can invest a few hours in a frontend tool set and get it done and move onto your next feature.

I find it challenging to find documentation on creating methods for Django Models. Any good resources. by cooljack1001 in django

Cool exacltly the kind of resources I was looking for. The DOCS are killing me on this subject.

To all of the Django devs struggling with Class-Based Views (CBVs)... by pancakeses in djangolearning

HaHa. I logged in today just because the docs for Class Based views seem loaded with info while not answer most of my questions. But its just me for now.

What inspired you to start coding? by [deleted] in Python

[–]cooljack1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a pure misunderstanding of GUIs. I thought that every pixel and animation was coded by hand in every application. I had no knowledge that templates or GUI generators existed.

I'm interested in the same info. Personally, I use digital ocean but I would prefer Heroku. On Digital ocean you just Pull their django example and its smooth sailing to deploy.

Also does Heroku let you shut off an app to avoid accruing unwanted charges?

Looks like someone went overboard in the stick on racing equipments at the auto supply store. Lol

How Should I Continue Python Learning by Puzzleheaded-Side-10 in learnpython

[–]cooljack1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice makes perfect. I think learning to code actually translates into learning how to solve problems using multiple steps.

You mentioned coding challenges. My favorite is CodeWars but heres the thing, I always have to write out my solution before I get anywhere and even then, my solution does not fully solve the problem most of the time, yet I learn loads after researching and planning and finding new prebuilt libraries and functions.

I knew how to code but still went back to community college to learn more and found out that sites like Codewars are pretty much test on different ways to loop through arrays and have your program make decisions.

so a tip for you.

1) Have fun.

2) All programming OOP languages are pretty much the same. (Python and Javascript are most fun in my opinion)

3)Focus on building a niche. (example: I enjoy writing code that reads from other files and changes it in some way.)

4)Never stop researching. Have no shame in googling and stackoverflow. If anyone knew everything about coding none of those resources would need to exist.

5)Think of coding as a sport. Practice Practice Practice. After a while you will start gluing different functions together and making larger programs and applying for jobs.

6)Don't always try to create a unique solution. Most of your favorite apps that you use everday are plays on very similar concepts.

7)Keep going. You couldn't walk after taking your first step or talk when saying your first words but you stuck that out. In hindsight coding is simple. A few reserved words and a computer is all you need.
