Python Project Ideas:

Python Help
1

Probably not the right post for this channel but I was wondering if anyone had any project ideas (beginner - intimidate)

I am still pretty new to Python but I am a quick learner and like to give myself a challenge… If someone has a project idea they think would be good at helping me apply different areas of Python that would be great.

Thanks!

Project Euler is what comes to mind for me, as far as giving yourself a challenge. It probably won’t give you reason to get too broad in drawing on different areas of Python, but it’s a good start.

Project Euler is strongly mathematical, so is of interest as a set of problems if you like the math / algorithm side of computer science.

For something broad you may want a task that has many areas. One example is a simple game, like tic-tac-toe. You can write purely on the console, or with graphics (both of those are interesting); it covers game state and logic, ie an app with specific state transitions; for something like tic-tac-toe you could write your own mini-AI to calculate the best moves, or a variety of AIs of different skills. If you want to expand, you could later move it to a web server to play online: there you have Python web frameworks, keeping session state in one form or another, etc.

I recommend Al Sewigart’s Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained - it has a lot of exercises that will go over a lot of different core topics.
