🔒 Help to program a calculator and a pacman in python

[uneven salmon]

Hello guys, sorry to disturb you all; I just started to learn python and one of the coursework that I will need to submit will be based on creating a calculator or a pacman. Can someone guide me on how I can do these, like if there if some sort of roadmap please; I want to really to a good project... I was asked to used what is known as tkinter but I don't even know what it is or how to implement it; can someone recommend where I should start please. Thanks in advance.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

the calculator will be the far easier task between that and pacman

[uneven salmon]

Yeah I know; I want to do the calculator as a backup but I also want to try to do the pacman but I don't know where to start 😭

That's a huge undertaking if you're new to python, and even more so if you're new to gui

I don't even know where to point you that won't require a weeks worth of understanding

how long do you have to make this?

I'm personally very experienced in gui and even I think pacman would be difficult for me

Yes, this would be a ton of work. Just representing the maze itself would be a challenge on its own.

That's far from a beginner project. I'd go with the easier one and work up from there. "Shooting for the stars" eventually becomes viable once you have a good foundation, but tends to just lead to frustration and giving up when you don't even know what tools you have available to you.

the pacman movement, wall collisions, pellet pickup, simple AI ghosts

hmm 4weeks approximately

[uneven salmon]

yeah true, I was also being told the same that it will be difficult but I don't know I really want to try, I'm willing to learn everything but I need to know where to find some good and ordered resources
