I am sure I have written this before but, one of the reasons I want to learn python is so that I can use it with blender. I am not sure what I will make yet but, I am sure someday I will thing of something.
I tried spyder ide for python
I had never tried spyder ide before the other day even though it comes with the version of python I use. I usually use jupyter notebook or IDLE or a console when I use python. But, I decided to use spyder and I liked it.
Maybe if I commit myself to writing a line of python code a day next year. Maybe that will get me programming. I still want to learn to program after all these years. I am not getting any younger. And if I want to much longer to learn I fear that I will never program.
I know I want to make games, do machine learning and genetic programming, and try to make a blender addon with python. So I have got ideas of things to make with python. Now I just have to program on a daily basis.
Maybe I am afraid that if I do make an effort to program I will find that I can’t do it. That I will not be good enough. But, I have got to try harder to program. I have other hobbies but, I want programming to be one of them.
I think I should narrow down what I want to get better at in 2023
I said I want to get better at blender and godot. I think I should pick one of those programs to get better at and when I get good at one I can work on getting better at the other. At least I hope that is what happens. Or maybe I should try and learn both at that same time.
Anyway I want to learn something better. If the choice is between blender and godot I want to learn how to use blender first. And then godot. Since I like to make art.
And I was also thinking about programming. I want to learn python better in 2023. A lot of the time I think wow, if I would have focused on a programming language when I got my first computer and stuck with it I might be a decent programmer by now.
I wish I could go back in time and change what I did then but, I can’t so I will have to get better at blender and python now.
So I am learning blender
better and I also want to learn how to code with python and blender. I don’t know exactly what I will do with but, it would allow me to build something with python. And I do need to build something with any programming language. I need a programming project. So hopefully I will build a blender add on.
In 2022 I want to get good at python
and pharo. I used to want to be able to program in as many programming languages as I could. That did not work for me. I ended up switching programming languages a lot and never made any program. Oh, and I don’t want to spend that much time learning programming languages.
So now I know I need to limit the number of programming languages I want to learn. And I have always wanted to learn pharo so that is a must. And I want to use python for machine learning.
Also this year I might want to try High level assembly again.
Oh, and I probably want to put up a website.
Oh, maybe that is to much on my plate. I hope I will get something programmed this year. I will see.
I want to read python
programs having to do with honey bees and other bees. I looked up python and bees on github awhile ago and found some programs that had to do with bees And I was surprised.
I don’t know what program that I could make about bees for python. Maybe I could make a video game with a bee for the protagonist. I will think about it.
Pyfiglet, ascii art
I want to use pyfiglet to make ascii art. I think I have made some ascii art but, I want to make more. I could use the art for my video games.
I installed a newer
version of pygame. I was trying to to run a program and got an error that said super().__init__ takes 1 parameter got 0 parameters. It was some error like that. I thought what could go wrong. Oh, the program was from program arcade games with python and pygame.
So I tried putting in a parameter in the super and init functions. That did not work. So I searched pip install pygame and to my surprised I could install pygame with pip. So I installed a newer version of pygame and then I ran the program and it worked.
I had no idea that I could install pygame with pip. So I learned something new and got a new version of pygame to boot.
I thought I would have to live with the old version of pygame that only worked with python 2. That was not the case. Now all I need to do is start making video games. I wonder if that will happen?
I have read over
halfway through design arcade games with python and pygame. I have read some of the book in the past but, never made it all the way through.
I don’t know why I stopped reading the book. I know I never made anything with the information that I learned. So I forgot what I learned. So I had to start reading the book from the beginning.
This time I want to make games with the information I learned. I mean learn. I want to think of a project I can make with pygame.
And I also want to work on my text game dragon quest. I mean dragon hunter. A game is not going to make itself.
So far from program arcade games with python and pygame I have learned how to add graphics and sound, how to use the keyboard and mouse. I already knew how to make a function in python, how to make variables, and other things in python though.
So I can’t wait to make a game with pygame.
Machine learning I don’t know much about it
I want to know more about it. I have read machine learning for dummies twice. And you I have not done anything with machine learning.
It must be that I tell myself OatmealBreakfast someday you will get to it. Someday you will make that neural network that you want to make. Someday. To be honest I don’t know if that day will ever arrive.
I do know that I want to use pharo and python for machine learning. And I do want to make a neural network that writes songs. So that I don’t have to write songs. Ha.
I don’t know if I will be able t make a neural network. I do want to try. I might also want to try R. The list of new things I want to try never ends.
