This is a collection of 5 beginner Python projects. Last week, I challenged myself to get out of a coding rut by creating a new Python project every single day. The purpose of this exercise was to show how versatile Python can be, especially for beginners, to create vastly different projects without spending too much time. ⏰
Every day by 7AM PST, I will be adding a new project to this repository in the following categories:
- Game Development (Flappy Bird ft. Yogi)
- Machine Learning (Teaching an AI to play Ping Pong)
- Web Development ('Tinder' for Netflix)
- Data Visualization (Animal Crossing Analysis)
- Scripting
Each project folder will include the code itself, usage instructions, and additional resources. I'll also be uploading a corresponding video on my YouTube channel; each 4-6 minute video will show what inspired the project and its basic building blocks. 📺
Eve since I was learning how to code and starting my career in tech, one piece of advice I often heard (and now give) is to create as much as possible -- through independent projects, hackathons, etc. To this day, whenever I sit down wanting to start a new project, my mind goes blank. I always ask myself, but what do I make? 🤔
I must not be the only one facing this 'idea-block.' So, I wanted to create a beginner-friendly collection of Python projects that are accessible, fun to learn, and easy to clone and expand. 👌
That would be me -- Harshi! I am a recent college graduate and spent a year working at a Silicon Valley startup before quitting to launch my own startup. Meanwhile, I've been launching my YouTube channel, where I create content about tech, career, productivity, and lifestyle. 👩🏾💻
