100 Days of Code - Day 21

Today was a two-hour Python session. As I said in yesterday's post, I coded along with the warmup videos for Milestone Project 2 in the Complete Python Bootcamp From Zero to Hero in Python Udemy Course by Jose Portilla.

These videos show how to program a game of War from the ground up:

• Card Class

• Deck Class

• Player Class

• Game Logic - Part One

• Game Logic - Part Two

• Game Logic - Part Three

Attached is my Jupyter notebook showing todays work. My code and my version of War:

Tomorrow I officially begin Milestone Project 2, where I create a one-player Blackjack game from scratch.

Just like Milestone Project 1, I am electing to go with the challenging route. This means I will not be looking at the solutions video or following the course guide for assistance while I code out this game. This choice will be much harder, take longer, and be more frustrating to go through, but in the end, it will make me a better programmer and force me to understand Python more. I need this because I eventually would like to get to an advanced level of understanding in Python. We will see how it goes in the coming days. I feel confident in my abilities, but I know this will be challenging and rewarding, just like the Tic Tac Toe game.

Total Time Dedicated to Python Learning = 59 hours
