I am not much of a challenges guy, but this time, I am going to go with a well know #100DaysOfCode challenge, in my case for Python.
I'm learning Python as a part of my getting to know DevOps stuff journey. First step was to turn an old macbook into an Ubuntu Server for further learning experiments. Now I am all about Ansible and Python.
Not going to tweet about my daily coding as the challenge requires, but I do share my DevOps learning journey on a freshly baked blog of mine. This journey or a path, let's say, already included completely redoing the way I take notes and the way I learn.
So what I will use to code my way through this challenge? Well, Vim, or NeoVim, of course. Because I want to learn those as well :P
On Day 7, I focused on learning how to fetch data and create a simple CLI game: the classic Hangman. The game prompts you to enter the length of a word you'd like to guess, fetches the word from Random Word API, and then you can start guessing.
I've included the binary /day007/hangman, so you can download and run it on macOS or Linux without needing Python installed. Feel free to give it a try!
This was fun :) Although the Data class is a bit messed up in my opinion. Creating and object and then calling it's function to actually populate the object's attribute is probably not the best approach. Well, see you in following days.
Leaving cli games for a while. Now I'm gonna focus on data manipulation and stuff like that. Say goodbye to the last mini game I did - a Snake game. Simple, but still enjoyable as in good old Nokia times.
I do not like tkinter, but this is quite usefull script, isn't it?
Very very simple, without salting and hashing.
