C0D4681385yYou're learning, welcome to the basics.
Plus knowing how to do things without external resources is always good to know, as one day... you may just find yourself in such an environment you can't utilise them. -
@drac94 because how else would you make a game?
You need to use an API to round a number, to square a number and to square root a number.
Let alone show an image on the screen. -
@drac94 because python.
If you want to learn from the ground up, without libraries, use C. -
@drac94 I think this is a misunderstanding.
The teacher seems to exclude external libraries to be used directly, while Python modules are okay.
At least that's my understanding, as pure Python won't get you anywhere beyond a simple text adventure. -
@Yamakuzure I rememeber an old horse race + cheat codes + gambling done in pure text mode.
But an old school text adventure in python is also nice.

So I’ve got a teacher that supposedly does web development. Very basic, nothing too complex. He says we’re gonna learn python, which I’ve been learning for a while now. First this man says we’re gonna make a game. Simple. I ask him what api so I can study it and this man says he’s not going to use an api/libraries. He then proceeds to say that he didn’t use any other coding languages.
He’s a psychopath.
