I have a feeling I'm stuck in tutorial hell, and I need to start actually building things. But I don't know where to start :/

Also I'm really bad at syntax. I only know concepts like for loops, while loops, if-elif-elses, etc...

So maybe something that helps me learn more about coding syntax would be helpful.

Thanks!

I taught beginner Python by working through this book: Coding Games in Python. I thought it did a decent job of teaching the fundamentals through increasingly complex games. The trickiest part is usually setting up an IDE, libraries, etc.

Otherwise you gotta start looking around for ideas. Maybe outline some interests to keep an eye on...
