I am currently a senior at Vriginia Tech studying Data Science in the specific major of Computational Modeling and Data Analytics. I was always interested in programming from a very young first playing around with the Scratch and some other simple block-based programming languages making very simple games was a lot of fun. I gained more interest in it and then learned about Unity, a free game-engine you can use to make very professional games and so I started playing around in that making some simple games using tutorials on Youtube. I also then learned some python while taking an AP Computer Programming course in highschool which helped me greatly in the college level python courses. I made a few simple programs in python while learnign and even made a Pygame which you can play once you scroll down to my projects.
First project is a python Game where I challenged yself to make it only with help from the Turtles module and not the
usual Pygame module. I made this in 2019 in the summer between my junior and senior year of highschool. I spent the summer
learning python and this was the culmination of my knowledge what I learned at that time which was mostly the bare basics of python
as well as how the Turtles library worked. Here is the
Github Link for the source code.
Basic rules are to use the W, A, S, and D keys as your Up, Right, Down and Left direction you want the white cube to move. The goal of the game is to collect as many of the red circles as you can without the green turtles getting to you. Watch out though because the more red circles you get the more turltes spawn. One trick to get a really high score is to stay near the edge of the screen so you can easily cross to the other side instantly.
This is a small project that I did in one of my pthon classes in college where the task was to be given a txt file in
english language and give the top 20 words in it as well as the Grade Level for and Reading Score. I learned about opening and sorting through
text files via python as well as basic data manipulation through that data being human text. The source code for this project is
here.
Just download the source code and input any text file with your desired text you want to analyze. As you can see with my example above it analyzed the Martin Luther King Jr "I Have a Dream" speech.
