Скачать или смотреть Text Adventure Game - Speed Run the Boring Stuff with Python - Chapter 3

We are back with third episode of my journey to build and learn code in public - by heavily leveraging AI (Replit, ChatGPT and Claude).

We very loosely base todays video on Chapter 3 of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python which deals with functions. Really influenced by the fun idea we had last episode about a Choose Your Own Adventure story - today we are making a laughably simple Text Based Adventure game. Not that this would be fun to play, but it gives us a thousand-foot overview of how you could use python to make a simple Dungeon’s and Dragon’s style adventure game where choices, items and health can all be kept track of and influence the game.

This is more unpolished than even the story from the last episode, but I hope you can start to see how there is some really fun and interesting ways to use python.

Check out “Episode 1” in this series to see where we are starting from, but basically we will browse through the classic python textbook "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" by Al Sweigart. These are not “How To Learn Python Lessons - there are way better resources for that including Replit’s Free 100 Days of Code - but if you have ADHD like me and just want o know how to start coding with AI - we can use the broad topics of a book like How To Automate the Boring Stuff with Python to inspire us. One of the trickiest things about doing this coding things as a newbie is - you don’t know what you don’t know. Its hard to tell if a concept is super hard to do in code, or if its quite approachable. I think by browsing through this text book, we can start to dial in whats do-able for beginners.


No Prior Coding experience is neccessary here - we are starting very basic - because I don't know what I'm doing. I will say this is likely not the best way to learn to use Python, but this is how I'm choosing to forage ahead leaning 95% on AI to code, and I come up with ideas and try to implement them. I believe learning anything about coding will open many doors as the AI models and coding assistants continue to improve. Remember the model you use today is going to be the worst AI model you ever use.
