15 Programming Project Ideas - From Beginner to Advanced

Creating a bot is an interesting project, it can even serve as a UI for a different project. By the way, a video idea: async/await, threading, multiprocessing, and what the difference between them is.

[@maqabayker]

I created calculator that can calculate any type of mathematical expression and it supports most of the mathematical operators including sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos and so on. Also it has a UI built in tkinter and also it can get unlimited length of mathematical expression. It is most likely duplicate of android calculator but it has a little bit different features like calculating any type of logarithm that exists.

My sudoku solver reads a photo of a newspaper’s sudoku. Grid detection, Neural network to read the numbers in the grid from the image and outputs the solution on the original photo. Quite a bit of work but it‘s worth it because it teaches a lot of technologies (OpenCV, Keras/TensorFlow, Flask for the GUI)

I did something similar to the image viewer: I made a palette swapper for pixel art images using PySimpleGUI (which is an amazing library to abstract away the complications of Tkinter, Qt or other "full-power" GUI libraries, making GUI development easy and Pythonic).

Without even watching this video the first thing I did (and am still doing) in python is try to make a text based adventure game, my favorite part about it is that even though I made something that got the job done I always have something that I feel could be improved about it. I have added things like putting the game in a while loop so that I could add a “times played” counter, I figured out how to make python run other python files so that the dialogue didn’t take up space in the program, etc and I still have so many thing I can improve about it. Definitely what I would recommend as well.

[@eduardomunhoz1581]

I've made an infinite tic tac toe in python, I think it's a really interesting idea and more people should try (you choose the board size before playing so it can be a grid of however much you want) it helped me understand oop and loops a lot better

I made Hexic API and the adjacent Hexic webservice. I have a raspberry pi and i have made some really complex projects (like linking a rpi and a pc to make a remote controlled KODI media station). A thing i just finished was making zoom and pan in python and pygame as well as making a full minesweeper project around the pan and zoom, animations, menus, themes, really a great project and it was worth the sleepless nights. A while back using the Hexic API i also made my own little multiplayer game. Another thing i made was a pixel coding language (don't worry there was a text to pixel converter too). And just yeah great stuff!

[@lemoonadee]

[@masterdementer]

3:20 I made a tic tac toe project, it is self made without looking for solutions online. I had pretty good idea on how to use dictionaries so i used the combination of lists and dictionaries to make a gameboard and implemented the rules of the game with different functions. After completing it halfway my CS teacher said you cant submit a game as project for assignment. So had to scratch that and work on another programme. But after doing that i came back to my tic tac toe and implemented a system where you can play against the computer, it decides the moves based on the total sum of your "marks" placed in a column, row or diagonally. I tried neural networks first but failed to do so, there were just too many nested loops to work through and loops inside a recurring function didn't work either . So if anyone has any ideas let me know.

[@wavez4224]

Idk about ideas but that’s an L teacher. No reason to say a game is not a project.

@@wavez4224 Haha she wanted even bigger project lol, which was a Data Management Application. I made that with my cousin and it had Tkinter frontend UI and SQL backend for data storage. Everything was linked together by python. It was pretty big actually. Could be a fully functional software for a store or something (ofc after some polishing of UI, CUZ IT LOOKED MEDIVAL, backend functioning was the main focus when we worked on that, so yeah room to improve but we got A+ on that)

[@not_vinkami]

Does anyone use Casio calculators? In Hong Kong, students use them in their exams to calculate trigonometric ratios or solve equations. In the calculator (mine is Casio fx 50-FH II), there is a programming mode where you can write programs that helps you solve questions faster, like writing a quadratic or cubic equation solver. I got such a calculator in form 1 (same as grade 7, I guess), and that programming mode completely blown my mind and made me so interested in programming. Therefore 3 years later, I now know Python very well and I'm going to write a interpreter of that calculator language, just because it was how I started.
