Given that all our lectures are online now, I built a script that automatically checks my professor's website and downloads a new lecture video anytime he uploads one. It also notifies me through sound). I think it's pretty cool!

[@perper4858]

How many times checks those lectures in a day? Also what language did you used?

[@oghoghosamwajuihian5643]

Wow

[@stefanbogdangiroe9175]

I want your source code:))

[@Sunny-Gupta1]

Pretty cool man

Never built the game before, but I want to code Snake in Python. That just sounds poetic.

[@m.helazior9932]

Use Tkinter or Pygame

[@tushardimri1796]

You can also try flappy bird

[@aurelvogli8562]

@@m.helazior9932 why would you use tkinter

[@m.helazior9932]

Aurel Vogli Yes Pygame is better for making a snake

[@unsafecast3636]

@@aurelvogli8562 Because it can give you an empty pixel buffer which you can use to draw anything. Granted, it's slow, but it draws basic stuff pretty well

[@justgame5508]

One of my favourite projects I’ve worked on are physics-simulations, I built a radio wave propagation simulation that models how WiFi signals attenuate throughout buildings and used a genetic algorithm to optimise the placement of AP’s for best signal coverage

[@ictogon]

i tried to make a rigid body physics simulator and had a lot of fun. It mostly works except for static forces and sometimes the blocks can go through eachother

[@biswaviraj]

I scraped my university's website to fetch new notices and send them as an email to me

[@fillics]

Biswajeet Das could I ask you a couple of things? Write me on Telegram @fillics

[@biswaviraj]

@@fillics okay

[@pradipta.007]

@Biswajeet Well done champ👍👍

[@trodenn4977]

how do you do that? any tips on where to start?

[@biswaviraj]

@@trodenn4977 you can use python or javascript (nodejs) for it.. There are few packages that you'll need.. If using python, then you need BeautifulSoup and requests packages to scrape the website. Maybe watch a tutorial or read an article on web scraping to get an overall idea of how things are done. Once you understand it, then you can write your own programs. Web scraping is easy at the same time very rewarding and fun

Project 6: hypervisor Project 7: hypervisor with PCI passthrough Project 8: containers Challenges and practices are all well and good, but it's also important not to get stuck reinventing the wheel over and over again. Another good practice is to download someone else's source code and change it to your liking, maybe take a snake game and add AI to it.

[@morhogeg]

You are truly inspiring. And your intro is awesome!!

[@sciencenerd6623]

I scraped Amazon to track prices of items I want to buy, and when they go on sale I get an email and it stores it in a database, graphs are nice :)

[@xiangzhong866]

don't think you can do that, Amazon has really good tech on blocking requests from bots.

[@sciencenerd6623]

Xiang Zhong You most certainly can, it’s a simple web scraping process. Can be done use bs4, lxml, and requests Been running it for 7 months and it has yet to be blocked.

[@comradepeter87]

For web scraping, during the peak of pandemic when people were panic-buying stuff and emptying the stock as soon as it filled, I wrote a minimalistic Python script. All you had to do was input it some stuff that you wanted to buy and the brand, and then it would search on the online store and frequently refreshed. As soon as any match was found, it would e-mail me. Not quite scalper-like as it didn't buy for me, it just notified me that the things are now available. I then manually went on the store and bought it. Did help me to secure stuff for 2 months straight.

[@johnboy6799]

I’m new to programming and what you did sounds so amazing to me. I didn’t know it was possible to do any of this

[@mehulsingh5710]

Make more of these videos please. They are exciting to watch and get ideas from for just some fun projects that could be done. Keep up the good work.

[@davidyadav6289]

This is by far the best start to any video

[@MadeByGPS]

Tech with Tim recommended almost the same. 1. Web development (Flask or Django) 2. Implement popular algorithms 3. Interface with microcontroller 4. Implement ML or AI 5. Recreate an Atari game

[@roborbiettinoisgone392]

Coincidences? _I THINK THEY ARE NOT!_

I wrote a web crawler back in college, which downloaded all the recordings of my lectures and periodically checked for new ones. The downloaded videos were then available through my media server.

[@notme8816]

*A tip for everyone programming in python* If you are making games or just needing to make some GUI in python dont use tkinter. I recommend using pygame if you are very new to programming but if you think you know how to write code i recommend learning OpenGL as it is available in a lot of other programming languages. I personally use a combination of OpenGL and pygame

[@TaarLps]

Why would someone that uses python use openGL? Or different: Why would someone who uses a high af level language use a language as low level as possible in the same project?

[@biswaviraj]

You can use raspberry Pi for the web server.

[@ankitpartap185]

I like the idea of making our own webserver as I was thinking about it since 1 month

[@gabrielmuteca]

Dude, when you mentioned Project no 4 I immediately got excited! Thanks for the tips.

[@rdoetjes]

My TOP 5 for beginners 1) Game of Life => it teaches you arrays, and basic arithmetic and how to write stuff to the screen. 2) The NQueens probleem. Have a chessboard (8x8) and 8 Queens had have the computer position them so that they can be all on the board without any one capturing the other. 3) Hanoi Towers => Great problem to solve using recursion. 4) Build a dynamically scalable circular buffer 5) Code something that controls an external IO board to switch on lights or whatever.

[@ledues3336]

I actually combined the second and third project, back in January school was boring so I made a (terminal, but still cool, I had tons of fun tweaking the menu) Rust Snake game to share with my classmates with multiple difficulties and leaderboards, the leaderboard API is built with Flask.

I have built something like a web scraper before I made simple math solvers, but it wasn't console logged so you can copy it from the site and put it into your code if you need to make something with stuff. Web scrapers are useful.

Writing games for fun is really a challenge and can expand your mind with new patterns. So many elements: UI, game state, AI, sound effects, basic graphics. I recommend Lua with the Love2d library.

[@JohnDoe-qk7wx]

just a quick note, you don't need an old PC to build a web server. Web Servers aren't that hard to get running, basically you just need an apache or nginx tutorial and you got a web server up and running.

If you don't have an old computer lying around and just want to try to have your own web server at home, you could invest in a Raspberry Pi! Granted, that it isn't as powerful as a desktop computer or a laptop, but it's still cheap and is a good starting point.
