Hello. Just started python 3 and programming in general. Was wondering if anyone could give some links where i can find tasks, codes for the very beginners, so aside reading literature i can actually practice.

I mean already working(examples of) codes, so i can just write(copy) them and see for myself piece by piece.

Thank u n sorry if i formulated request in a wrong way - im a noob :goblin_boom:

Well he still has to know the basics of the language to be able to create something.
Kinda like writing a hello world program without knowing how to Console.Writeline is pretty hard :p

But easiet way to learn would just be, either follow a couple of tutorials:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/index.htm
Or Follow GhostWolf and just google the shit out of everything.

Here is an engine for an assignment we had in the University, you can play around with it. Just unzip it and run farmer.py with Python Idle.

There is value in reading specific tutorials when you need to know something, but reading whole tutorial series and stuff like that, I never quite got.
It's like reading a whole math book without actually exercising what you learn, the end result is that you know nothing.

I value much more just making something you are interested in making. This way you actually have some motivation going on.
Whenever you get stuck and don't know how to do something, just search for it.

Then again, I guess if one knows literally nothing about programming, maybe the full scale tutorial thing is better, though he didn't mention anything about experience in the field.
