You're gonna pick up Java and learn it alongside Python? I'm thinking maybe a year more with Python then I'll start looking into other languages.

I started my Python journey around last February/March. I learned a lot but I was getting to this point where I needed to learn more than just Python. I felt like I wasn't doing enough by focusing on one language, and it was causing me to get really burned out. I still really love Python and I plan on picking it back up early next year, but I feel like if I learn more languages and learn more about computer science, it will overall make me a better Python programmer. There's still a lot I want to do with Python, like new projects I want to make. But I'm giving myself a break for now until I can recover mentally from spending so much time on it.

Does anyone know of any good / current javascript learning resources? Or maybe some books? I'm starting to get farther along in this course I'm taking & I think I need extra help while doing it.

I've been wanting to get back into Pokemon. Still have unopened Pokemon games back from the 3DS era.

I always buy the games. I don't have the time to spend on them like I used to (I have 350+ hours in Pokemon Y) but I play them when I can.

@toyota Ahh! Really wish I would have seen this earlier so I could ask you some questions. It has been a while since I've worked with Classes, and I'm a little confused by what it is exactly you're trying to do. But from your second photo on the bottom (and I may be wrong), it seems like you're trying to assign the admin class the entirety of the privilege class. There's a few things that stick out to me but I may be misunderstanding your code as you only posted a snipet.

https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/q6pc3j/understanding_self_in_python/hgdbrbw/

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but try this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51233767/init-missing-1-required-positional-argument-python3?noredirect=1&lq=1

And I also found this.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69950513/python-typeerror-init-missing-1-required-positional-argument-privilege

See what those people did and see if it helps. It's from a few years ago but the syntax should be similar.

I also highly suggest reading up on python OOP programming.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc

That mini series helped me understand it a lot.

If you're still having trouble then post your entire code so I can copy it into my terminal and I'll see if I can figure it out.

I can tell you that I have not seen this syntax used before

self.battery = Battery()

so that part does confuse me. What source are you reading from?

Udemy is having a Black Friday sale.

That's actually really impressive. You should start studying again. Way more resources exist now.

I decided to buy this course as there's another flash sale going on

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

I can't personally recommend it, as I've only watched section 1, but supposedly it's one of, if not the best web development courses to take. Right now It's only $20 which seems like a great investment if you're into learning about JavaScript and databases and stuff and are looking into getting a career in that area. I'm also still taking the CS50 course, so between those two courses I'll be busy for the rest of the year. All the while still trying to make time for Python.

Same. I feel the itch to just start a new project until I get stuck again, then I'll look it up, research or go through tutorials.

The 4 hour video at the beginning was helpful, and I made over 20 pages of notes. But doing that constantly I know would be counter productive.

What kind of project? Another RPG?

I've got to tweak the numbers though to make it challenging

You could create a dice system where the player rolls two dice and gets a solid number and use that number to subtract from the enemies defense. I was thinking of creating something similar to that myself.

Say the player rolls two six-sided dice. The first number they get is a 3 and the second is a 5. Your total number would be 8.

Now say the enemy has a high attack stat (30), but a low defense stat (5). You subtract your dice roll of 8 and the enemies defense stat of 5, so the enemy loses 3 HP.

That would be pretty challenging.

You would also have to take into account other variables, like rolling a low number so the enemy doesn't lose HP, and even a critical hit option if you get double of the same number. And certain characters could have higher dice numbers, like two eight-sided dice.

I highly recommend y'all to follow the tutorial I just posted if you're interested in 2D game development. It's so much fun and I only just started. It's making me want to create my own 2D platformer game.

Graphics, for me, is where the magic really happens. Makes it a lot more easy to make a real-time game which is a lot more fun to write and see in action.

I used to make pixel art for fun. Not so much anymore. What kind of graphics do you make?

I haven't checked out this video series yet, but it's 64 videos long and here is the description. I don't think I'll be watching it any time soon, but definitely in the future since it teaches C#.

In this series, we'll look at how to make a Turn-Based RPG like Pokemon using Clean Coding Practices. Along the way, you will learn Advanced C# features, Design Patterns, how to Architect the game in a scalable way, etc.

It covers common RPG mechanics like Turn-Based Battle, Experience/Level Up, Party System, Status Effects, Items/Inventory, NPC/Dialogues, Saving Loading. These are implemented in a modular way, so you will be able to use them for other projects too.

The series is targeted at people who know the basics of Unity and C#. It's designed to take you from a beginner to an Intermediate level Game Programmer.

I'm a Software Engineer and a Freelance Unity Developer. I've been using Unity for the last 6 years. My goal with this series is to share the things I've learned throughout the years about Game Programming. I've spent more than 350+ hours for making this series, so I hope you find it helpful and I'd love to hear what you think about it :)
