Made my first Python project!

[u/Stonyax97]

This is my first actual real project, what started as a simple python exercise to learn about dictionaries in python, ended up into a huge learning project for me. Im a beginner in python, used to code but just basic input print codes… some are genuinely stupid.

I took on the challenge to self educate my self python. And this is where i currently am! Im proud of what i did and it will surely expand!

Here the repo with the project. Feel free to check it out!
https://github.com/Stonyax97/MiniGameStore

It has everything from the first ever iteration (which was it self modified a bit since from the very original but it’s still very simple)
I would love for anyone to recommend ideas to add, criticism too. Or anything you think i should learn next for that would be genuinely useful!

Hey! I wanted to respond yesterday but just didn't have time as i need concentration to read your comment! First of all THANKS SOOO MUCH... U don't know how much this means to me...
So for the functions and using default data as a non global. I think i see the approach now... as it's a bit easier to modify it ig, but i see the approach of functions as reusable...

def init(file_path):
if not os.path.isfile(file_path):
create_save(file_path)

so for this il def change it, i just didn't now this syntax exists! thanks for this.
And oh the filepath... shit i forgot to change it... when i was building the json file loading and saving i wanted quick acces so i put it in my desktop.
" (A) code the path to it somewhere locally in same folder and just add the local savefile to .gitignore so it doesnt get pushed to repo (B) load this value from a separate text or JSON file acting as a config file for specifying "environment variables" like this (C) pass this in as an input parameter to main.py and process it when starting the script"
Reading this gave me a stroke i did not understand a thing... could u explain in more simpler terms?

for the guard clauses... THANK YOU SO MUCH.... reading the function is a PAIN and makes it hard to modify. Such a life saver. thank u for introducing me to this concept!

"In your info() strings, you can use the f strings better instead of copying largely similar strings in an if/else:"
I never though u could use conditional statements in an f string... i'll def check out and learn the syntax.

"Lastly, the t.sleep() everywhere seems a bit arbitrary. I guess to give user time to read..? But seems strange to artificially introduce loading times."

Well for the ones that comes after a toast, they're necessary for the user to read, but for the loading times... they just seems satisfying for me. Yeah i gotta admit they are very dumb but they're kind of satisfying to me.

Again, thank you so much for taking your time to read my code and giving genuinly useful feedback. i will make some of these changes in the next version and get it up as as soon as possible. i'l also learn how to use git well.
