Started playing a new game. Used python to set up heroes and monsters so I could run millions of simulations to compare the effectiveness of whether I wanted a single melee weapon vs dual wielding 2 smaller weapons vs a ranged weapon, and the effectiveness of trading various skills for having a companion. Not to mention comparing the tradeoffs of accuracy vs more damage or bigger critical hits. The results were highly dependent on the ac and hp of what you were fighting. =) So ultimately the answer was "it depends".

I really like web scraping. You could try learning a little bit about BeautifuSoup and take some data from websites. I find it very fun. I've done over 5 projects that are actually helpful. For example, I made one to get the letter day for my school out of their website and have the program send me an email every morning so I know if I should leave at 7 AM or 8 AM. Only downside is that I gotta have my PC on all night which is not very kind to the power bill. I don't use that as much though.

You could also make your first Tictactoe game... I made one that was terrible but I learned so much from it and then I made it again using classes. Looks so much better now and I learned a whole bunch of things.

I also enjoy making little functions that are related to mathematics. I look up a formula and I try to make a function out of it. That can get you into matplotlib and pandas which is super fun! I'm still kind of a newbie with Python since I joined only 2 months ago but I've learned so much just by looking things up and having followed a Python course beforehand.

There's just so much that you can do with Python. You could even do web development and GUIs. I have no idea how any of that works yet but eventually I'll get there. Start small and don't make the mistake I did of trying to learn everything at once. It will only slow you down and frustrate you a lot. Even to the point of quitting for a while.
