Ever wonder what similarity a pair of words have with each other? Quantifiably? As in percentage? As in 50% match or 100% match, etc.? (Whoa, wouldn’t that be great if that worked out in dating world, eh?). Anyway, it’s okay if you haven’t wondered about it, because I did and here I share a few […]

Letters to Patterns (what does your name look like?)
Letters, in whatever language/scripts are really glyphs aren’t they? They’re a visual representation of a letter that’s supposed to sound (or not sound) like something that we repeated until we memorized it since birth. All good 🙂 I was thinking of different ways to represent letters…you know, just for fun! Yes, I’m weird like that. […]
Fill-up Tanks Quiz (Scratch)
Welcome back! You’ve surely seen images as below that appear online (internet sites, social media apps, etc.) Â In this Scratch app, I’ll demonstrate how to turn those static quiz images into an interactive, dynamic quiz application. Ouput:Â This is what a quick game play session looks like in this app. Design: First, I need […]
Adding sound to Python code
Python isn’t necessarily for multimedia programming, so only recently I looked up ways to add audio in a Python script. Turns out there are several ways to do that. They’re all really simple. Methods to add sound: 1. import winsound fname = “soundfile.wav” winsound.PlaySound(fname, winsound.SND_FILENAME) 2. import pygame pygame.init() s = pygame.mixer.Sound(“soundfile.wav”) # Start playback […]
Program to care for a pet (Scratch)
Hello, and welcome back. Today, A fun program to introduce kids/beginners to understand logic and loops while taking care of a pet fish 🙂 Easy to code and easy to play. Code is commented with explanation. Check it out here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/282372671/ Enjoy! Challenge: I intentionally kept the core code simple and uncomplicated. However, if you grasp the […]
Abstract Art with Code (Art<->Tech). Volume III
VOLUME 3 If arts and tech had a baby, may it’d look like me 🙂 Anyway, I love mixing the two, interconnecting, and interpolating them…because I’m always curious. Results can be incredibly satisfying or surprising. These are not the best of my work in any form in coding, but wanted to share these short programs […]

Drawing Graphics using Python (Turtle)
In this blog, I show you how to use draw graphics in Python. Objective:Â I want to draw dots (circles, really if they’re larger than a pixel)…of different sizes and colors at various locations multiple times (I chose 100X for this demo). This is how the output looks like: Source Code: The complete source is below. […]
Creating Magic 8 Ball Game in Python
Howdy! If you’re getting tired of Magic 8 ball game implementations in different languages, I have good news. I’ll stop (for now) with this last variant…this, in Python. The simplest, quickest code block happens to be in Python…as far as logic goes. In order to do graphics, animation, sound stuff, it’s not that great as […]
