i need to find more and harder things for me to make. i am making simple things like this

name = raw_input("Whats youe name? ")
print "Your name is ", name
raw_input("Press Enter Key ...") # wait

so if someone can help me by telling me what would be something more challenging for me ot make. i would like that.

You know those e-mails you get where somebody sends an e-mail of an e-mail of an e-mail:

(Toggle Plain Text)

>> You know you're in California ! when...... 
>>
>> 1. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house. 
>>
>> 2. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on
>>    a conversation in English. 
>>
>> 3. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring,
>>    and is named Breeze. 
>>
>> 4. You can't remember ... is pot illegal? 
>>
>> 5. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a 
>>    sperm donor.
>>
>>

Write a Python program to remove all the >> gibberish, so you have normal text again.

ok. i will have to look up on that because i really dont know much about this yet. that is the only thing i have been making. i dont know any other things to make.

You could make a program that translates a text file into ROT13 (where the letters of the alphabet are shifted 13 places).

Or a number guessing game.

Or a hangman game.

that hang man game sounds easy to make.

You can make your original program more complex and have some fun too:

(Toggle Plain Text)

name = raw_input("Whats your name? ")
print "Your name is ", name

# do something with the name
if 'a' in name.lower():
    name1 = name.replace('a', 'e')
    name2 = name.replace('a', 'u')
    print "Your name could have been", name1, "or", name2
    
if 'o' in name.lower():
    name1 = name.replace('o', 'e')
    name2 = name.replace('o', 'u')
    name3 = name.replace('o', 'oo')
    print "Your name could have been", name1, "or", name2, "or even", name3
    
if 'i' in name.lower():
    name1 = name.replace('i', 'a')
    name2 = name.replace('i', 'oo')
    print "Your name could have been", name1, "or", name2

raw_input("Press Enter Key ...") # wait

Substitute other letters, give it a try!

Those are not loops. They are if statements. If the test in an if statement evaluates to True, the resulting code will be executed.

For example:

(Toggle Plain Text)

x = 3

if x == 4:
    print "This will not be printed, as the above condition will not be met"
elif x == 3:
    print "The above statement evaluates to True, \nand this message will be printed"

dont limit urself to console programming. Keep on learning, theres much more to programming than printing something on the screen. Especially the fact that u dont know loops. So keep on reading and learning, than move on to win32 programming, than move on to directx programmign and make awsome flash games that u can publish on mofunzone

Or u can even set up a team and make ur own quake.
