I agree.

[@joelvoxberg4678]

I agree, though I felt this tutorial was a bit high paced. I would like to have seen more about the thinking of how to structure the work. Why did we start with the deposit function? it did seem like Tim hade done this problem before hand and just coded it from memory and therefore a few mistakes slipet in. I did enjoy it tho!

[@jasongonzalez502]

For any beginners watching this. Here's how I made it easier to break down: 1. Follow the video and code accordingly. 2. Add notes as you go along for yourself (This can be comments in your code) 3. Re-watch the video the day after with paper and/or drawing tablet to re-write each function in pseudo code. - Make sure to listen to his explanations of each function for clarification! - The pseudo code will help you understand how the complicated functions work by allowing you to place in numbers instead of the variable names. 4. Have fun. - Coding is not meant to be hell. Make it fun for yourself, change your environment when you need and remember it's not the end of the world if you don't get something because eventually you will!

[@memphisartguy2]

Yeah, so the best way to dive in for me was I wanted a net currency that excepted every where. Porn. So I built a web scrapper using wget and some logic (where python comes in) so to make it even more valuable I when after porn books (series). So 1 need a menu, 2 need variables, 3 need a fetch method, 4 need a counter(s). 5 need if error don't crash. It was easily hundreds of hours and a lot of polishing. So recent was a python script for a YT downloader, and YT Brute Force downloader (YT doesn't always share all videos) and then Mp4 to Mp3. Now YT is an endless source for Mp3's.

[@ValidT]

I think the problem is that a lot of tutorials start or stay very small, almost too small to the point that when you're done with that you don't know what to actually do with it or how to build up on it. This one should help you a lot with it.

[@lukask.2549]

that's literally one of the best videos ever for python people who have the basics and are trying to advance to own projects. Keep it up! Subscribed for sure

[@Chameleonll]

8:15 An interesting point here is that we handle negative numbers with 'if amount > 0', however, negative numbers are already stripped away by 'if amount.isdigit()', since the - sign is not considered a digit, and we always get 'Please enter a number' instead of 'Amount must be greater than 0' for negative numbers. We could use try-except instead: def deposit(): while True: amount = input("What would you like to deposit? $") try: amount = int(amount) if amount > 0: break else: print("Amount must be greater than 0.") except ValueError: print("Please enter a number.") continue return amount We can also put return amount inside of the loop instead of break, but some may argue that's less readable.

Tim, you are definitely (if not the best) one of the BEST python youtubers out there. I absolutely love your explanations, your thinking process and overall quality of videos.

Thank you so much for these videos and your time put into them. :)

Oh my God, I just found your channel recently and it is PERFECT for what I need! I'm in an 'intro to python' class in this last quarter of my 2 year degree in cybersecurity and digital forensics, and another degree in network admin, and am so often just lost in the python material. Our assignment due tomorrow is to write a program for a roulette wheel. How on the nose is this!? Also, answering the whole 'where do I start?' is SOOOO what I need. I can reverse engineer pretty well, and once I've got some groundwork for my code, I can tidy it up and customize it nicely, but when staring at a blank terminal, I NEVER know where/how to start. Thank you SOOOO MUCH for this! I love the way you walk thru stuff, too; not too fast, not too slow. Perfect pacing. Thank you!

I can't believe I actually managed to code a game despite being a novice. His explanation is top notch 🥶

[@fascinatingfactsabout]

I tried watching this video couple of months back and I had trouble following it because I knew exactly zero code, didn't understand or know the syntax used in the video and it got too much very soon (not to mention boring). Since then I started learning Python and now, although I still can't code anything worthwhile, at least I'm on a level of "I recognize this" when watching you code. This video instantly went from boring and "too much" to interesting and useful for my level of understanding. It actually got me to make some groundbreaking discoveries in a way to look at code when building a program instead of practice scripts that you do when learning a new program. It kind of rounded up the lessons I made in the other course and made me connect the dots. Thank you for that :)

Very nice intro to Python. Something I would suggest for an upcomming video. - Do a similar type of project but use TDD to develop it. - Move the functions into logical files as to understand how you reference them. - Use a database to store users and account balances ( like a bank ). That will give an overal real world application on how to use Python.

[@ShwigShwag]

I like this video format. Great work and thanks for the upload. 7:11 You can eliminate a bunch of the nesting and make the code more readable by testing for the thing you don't want first. Like this. is_valid_amount = False while not is_valid_amount: amount = input("deposit how many $?") if not amount.isdigit(): print("enter a #") continue amount = int(amount) if amount

I was thinking that there was something to do to avoid the nesting, nice fix

I added return deposit() in the def spin(balance): once your money becomes 0 it will always ask what would you like to bet in each line? if you add return deposit() under the print. it will go back to the def deposit. I really learned a lot on this video and I'm a beginner thank you for this

[@heyhay7104]

If anyone was wondering how you can implement a feature to add to your balance after running out or at any time, just edit the "def main() function to this: def main(): balance = deposit() top_up = () while True: print(f"Current balance is ${balance}") answer = input("Press enter to play (q to quit).") if answer == "q": top_up = input("Would you like to top up your balance? (Y/N): " ).upper() if top_up == "Y": top_up_amount = int(input("How much would you like to top by?: ")) if top_up_amount >= 0: balance = top_up_amount + balance else: break else: balance += spin(balance) print(f"You left with ${balance}") main()

[@heyhay7104]

I hope this helped anyone out, it took me a decent 10 minutes to figure out but if you line up the if and else, you should be able to make it work, and just follow what the inputs ask, you get the option to top up after you have clicked q to quit fyi.

Absolutely outstanding tutorial! I appreciate how you get right into things but also take the time to break it down and easily explain why you would use a certain function, command, method, etc. Most other tutorials just drone on and on and I end up falling asleep halfway through, but your teaching style reflects that of someone who understands how some of us could use a well thought out explanation of what does what and why/when you would use it.

To make things even more simple you could just do print("The amount of your deposit must be between {} and {}.".format(MIN_BET, MAX_BET) )

[@tigerex777]

Thanks! I was stuck on another little project I was making and this video helped me solve it. The only thing about this slot machine program is, let's say your balance goes to $0 and you mistakenly press Enter when the program asks you if you want to keep playing, you get stuck in a loop because you have no money to bet on. If you reach zero, the program should automatically ask you if you want to enter more money rather than ask you if you want to keep playing.

In the deposit function we need to use .strip() at the input and we don't need to check if the user entered a negative number because if they did the amount.isdigit() condition will fail anyways.

[@asimj]

Tim, you're really a great teacher but I do have a few complaints about your tutorials 1. Your codes aren't consistent eg. you usually move a lot of codes around, you put them in a new file and/or move codes to different functions or change variables mid-tutorial which makes it hard to keep track of what you're trying to do. 2. also you do not use # or ' ' ' to make codes more readable, I noticed a lot of tutorials who actually give a small title before writing a function so the viewer can keep track of what you are doing, it makes code 10x times more readable. eg. # snake head , # food , # snake movement , # collision impact. It really helps. Overall I think your tutorials are great I just want you to be consistent with what you're writing rather than keep changing things around, try to make a plan first what you exactly want to achieve and then do it (writing all the to-do things as # would really help). Hope you have a good day, thanks for the free tutorials!

[@Kai_Ning]

While i might agree on most of those for an usual tutorial video of "how to build x or y project", here, it's a tutorial of "how building a program happens irl". You can see that Tim going around in his code, adding function in between other already previous bit of code is closer to the creating process a dev goes through than the building process the program follow step by step to execute correctly. So for this video, it's kind of a moot point and better this way imo.

[@asimj]

@@Kai_Ning You can clearly see it says "Learn Python* with only one project" not how to make a game however both have the same meaning. I don't think someone who knows python already would come to a video "Learn Python with xyz" also he didn't specify what he was building in the title. well the most logical thing is people see tutorials and follow it to learn not the other way around. if it was a video like "How to make a website using flask" i would have said I would have been okay with it. for beginners people follow tutorials and if tutorial codes change and has no direction it confuses the viewers

A small think i added is, to check in main if balance is > 0, so if you enter spin(balance) with no money to bet with you wont be trapped in spin eternally and can go home to your disappointed family. main looks like this now for me: def main(): balance = deposit() while True: print(f"You have ${balance}") if balance > 0: play = (input("Press enter to play (q to quit).")) if play == "q": break balance += spin(balance) else: print("Use your kids college funds to continue") break print(f"you left with ${balance}")

I'm having trouble with the function you wrote at 30:12 - The problem seems to with the inner for loop - it never gets to 2 in my code.

I don't know if you have time to look at my code or not, but would you? I know this was just to see what was on the wheels, but I feel if I'm having trouble with this, then I'm going to have trouble with displaying the result of an actual spin.

Probably the best programming video I've ever watched. It actually shows the process of creating a program. Thanks!

Am I the only one getting a bunch of errors when writing the code

[@CZ23AH]

I did too. Then i realized nothing was aligned correctly. Once i fix it error were fixed.

[@asydburn804]

@@CZ23AHyes i also was but i had a lot aligned wrong, that’s usually the problem

[@WolboLanguage-sr8ic]

Yeah me too

What happened I'm also a programmer

[@EricLangdon-c7x]

Now THIS is a REAL program… great as a first project to a striving tech nerd!

I cant learn python the way you teach. Its impossible. Whys everyone use the same approach. Simple to extreme. How am i suppose to learn this?

This was the first Python tutorial I've ever been able to successfully finish. Thank you so much.

Excellent video, This is my second day trying to learn Python and I already feel better about it with no coding experience at all. This was easy enough to follow and recreate that I seriously think anyone could do it.

Not calling the functions with direct input of the arguments but instead running through the whole program to see if it works blows my mind.

[@WallaceThiago]

man.. somebody needs to make a video like this for other major languages too

Added an if statement to the main() function for the case there is nothing left in the players balance. In this case the program breaks out of the while loop and the game is ended. def main(): balance = deposit() while True: print(f"Current balance is ${balance}") if balance == 0: print("Sorry, you got nothing left to bet.") break else: answer = input("Press enter to play, q to quit: ") if answer == "q": break balance += spin(balance) print(f"You left with ${balance}")

[@womaninwood9177]

After that I added a workaround for answers that are not q. In this case the program gives a feedback and ends the game. def main(): balance = deposit() while True: print(f"Current balance is ${balance}") if balance == 0: print("Sorry, you got nothing left to bet.") break else: answer = input("Press enter to play, q to quit: ") if answer == "q": break elif bool(answer): print("This is not a valid answer.") break balance += spin(balance) print(f"You left with ${balance}")
