I had a difficult time committing to learning #Python because I didn't fully grasp what it could be used for. I know it can be used for a lot because everybody says so, but when you're a non-programmer learning your first language, some of the things people say can be done with Python... well, you just don't know what those things mean or what they are. LOL. It's like explaining what a network is to a 4 year old.
And if I don't understand what something is, I can't get excited about it. And if I can't get excited about it, I struggle to focus learning it.
But now that I found one Basic Baby Project[1] that you can use Python to make, I feel like I've gone feral blasting through this Python textbook that has been gathering dust since college :meowwobble:
[1] Interactive Fiction / Text Adventure games. Think parser games like Zork, Anchorhead, etc. that are typically made in Inform or even Javascript. I know there are "better" languages and methods to making an actual fully fleshed IF game but I'm doing this to learn Python, not to learn how to actually publish a game I want recognition for.
