Hey everyone!
I have an idea that could benefit a lot of newbies such as myself. The basic premise is to post a growing list of tiny ideas that range in complexity from simple to hard concepts. The reason I thing this is a great idea is for two main reasons. The first is that staring down a whole project while exciting and fun can be intimidating. The second reason is that when I was learning Python I found lists like these that taught me how to program. I always found this extremely useful and I think others will as well. It also teaches thinking like a game developer by breaking things down.

So my suggestions for making tiny ideas:

  • Make statements randomly print (Beginner)
  • Draw a unique sprite and move it around (Beginner)
  • Create an effect in a function (Beginner)
  • Animate one object on repeat (Intermediate)

Looking forward to hearing other tiny ideas!

  • get keyinput to move a sprite with velocity

  • mess around with sin(), cos()

  • play around with getting sprite flags ( mget(), fget() )

  • make a random walker (easy?)
  • take something you made in ~180 characters and get it down to 90 (hard-intermediate)
