It is the second to last day of school, and that means a lot of free time to code!
I worked on more functions that I will use, and I added docstrings for everything. I have an ask_for_letter() function that will do the heavy lifting for the hangman logic to keep a clean main.py.
So far in main.py, I have logic to choose the word. I will expand main.py, but most of the logic will be kept in functions.
I got a great start to this project. I wrote some functions that I will need to call in main.py, specifically one to ask the user for manual or random word choice, one to check the location of a letter in a word, and to choose a random word.
I am trying to follow some best practices for Python, like functions in a separate file, docstrings, return type annotations, and descriptive errors.
Next, I will finish up some of the major functions and start on main.py.
Successfully set up a working redirect for the student page. I learned the basics of Flask GET and POST, along with using session to store information for visiting sites on the same session.
I have not been following the Codecademy course as much and instead am referring to Google searches for code syntax and explanations as I work.
Todo: Set the POST saved variables to the variables that I will use in the final code, learn enough SQLite to do my project
I have been learning more Flask. I finished a Flask Fundamentals course and started learning Flask templates. I used Claude to make a basic frontend in vanilla HTML (no CSS). After I learn templates and SQLite, I can actually start writing the code. Most of my logged time so far is learning what I need for my project.
I have been logging a lot of time in Lapse, but the lapse bug where it duplicates your video eight or so times makes it so that not all of it is logged in Hackatime. At least, I think that that’s why. In reality, I have about an hour and a half more than what the 55 logged minutes say.
Learning Flask and databases. I am learning Flask in Codecademy and logging my hours with Lapse. I learned how to route different URLs to show different website content. I found a good resource to learn SQLite in Python and will start learning that as well.
Initial Idea and Repo Creation
