Python Projects?
I'm new to Python, but I've learned some of the basics: variables, lists, output, input, loops, and conditionals. I've converted some Scratch projects, but I want to try something more original. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Make a text based platformer that you can play in the terminal/command prompt, using ASCII art

Nice sig, I keep mistaking you for cheddar. 
I suggest making up your own language (with it's own syntax) and writing a parser. It's great fun. Just for what you already know, though.

@Gravitation, me too!
For a Python project I suggest making a big project that could take months, I find that's the best way to learn. Maybe like a home server that receives stuff from other computers and then sends it to computers on demand?

Re: Python Projects?
I have a feeling I am going to subconsciously diminish cheddar's reputation. I should change my sig

Re: Python Projects?
You should, but I don't understand how you're diminishing her rep?
Oh, because perhaps someone mistakes you as her?
yes, yes i do.

Re: Python Projects?
I, oddly, associate that sig to jji7skyline rather than cheddar. ._. Don't see her often these days.
On-topic: Try a more or less big game. Not an RPG, that may be too big... Perhaps a platformer or a scrolling shooter?

Ah, I've been busy and I haven't been inspired to post much. I guess I'm out of touch with what the community likes and reads these days. But the sig? That's the one I've been toting around for a while for the Welcoming Committee. I don't mind if others start using it.

Getting back on topic: There's a lot of beginner-friendly Python project ideas online - a search engine like Google brings up a lot of ideas. A storymaker or calculator comes to mind as a cool beginner project.
No idea about Python graphics, though. ^^;
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
