Hey guys. With it nearing the end of the semester, I have to come up with a final project for my Python course. I was hoping I might be able to get some ideas. It's obviously worth a lot of my grade, and I have a really bad history of picking very over complicated projects (primarily when I've done essays and artwork), running short on time, then having to scrap it and work on something very low quality to make up for all the time I've lost. Basically, I'm really bad at choosing something that fits with my skill level and being able to finish it appropriately.
The class has just recently gone over arrays for the first time and started using Bottle on PythonAnywhere, to give you an idea of where we're at. It's the first course the college requires you to take in the Computer Science field. (finally got to switch to this college recently after several years of community college, yay) The hardest thing I've done so far is made a "card game", except all it really did was create arrays to assign the 52 cards to a suit and number, then "dealt" 5 cards to the player and 5 to the user. It didn't actually "play", so to speak. And not gonna lie, I really struggled with that.
Anyway, here's the requirements:
- must be python
- use some type of data structure (array, objects, files, database)
- incorporate some sort of user Interface (Tkinter, pygame, command - line menu) (not really sure what this means? sorry)
- solve some identified problem
So far my coolest thought was making a high score table of some sort, but I had a friend point out that I was probably shooting too high with that one since it would require a game, and I should go for a simple database of sorts. It's also a bit difficult contacting my professor - the class sizes are huge. :( I'm feeling pretty alone here, and so anxious that I'm gonna mess up my first semester at this college. Any suggestions are really, really appreciated.
Edit: e-mailed some TAs and asked if doing a to-do list or a fridge/freezer organizer would be cool and they approved, I might start on those for now and consider anything else!
