In this demo, I’ll draw a beautiful, elegant, gradient-colored (themed) scatter plot using some data for x and y axis. The neat thing I want to demo here is not so much the data themselves, but how to apply a “colormap” to the graph using Python’s matplotlib library. Specifically, its pyplot module. What’s Desired: The […]

“Rabid Racoon” tracking (Python, using our own class)- Part 2
This is part 2 of the original series on Rabid Racoon. Please read Part 1 first to follow along. So, this time we’ll use a real-time graphing method using Python’s Turtle library instead of scatter plot as we did in Part 1. The beautiful part is, since we already created our custom Class in Part […]
“Rabid Racoon” tracking (Python, using our own class)- Part 1
Just like most high-level programming languages, Python also supports the idea of classes. Once the class(es) is/are created they can be inside the main python file or separated (in most usage scenarios), along with it methods. For Python-specific syntax, please refer to its documentation online or offline (python.org is a good start), but you should […]
How do those words game work???
Here I’ll show you the basic concepts of the most famous word games…and how they are actually coded. Obviously, I’m NOT going to show you advanced algorithms or any proprietary information here. Just the basics…you go party on with this information with your own creativity. There are numerous games out there based on this concept. […]
You Won’t Believe This! (Zen of Python)
If you just want to know what programming principles the founders of Python wanted you to stick with, there’s a simple code to expose them all! Add the following code to your python shell:

import this |
Yep. One line of code. What do we get? Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple […]
Digit To Word And Vice Versa (Python)
How can we convert in a program from words like “eight” to the number 8? How can we convert the number 10 to the letters “Ten”? Here, I show you multiple ways to do it bi-directionally…from letters to digits, and digit to letters. I’ve seen several implementations and many rely on ASCII ordinals. But I […]
Let’s Play Palindrome! (C/C++)
Did you know that the longest Palindromic word in the Oxford English Dictionary is “tattarrattat” coined by James Joyce in Ulysses (1922) meaning “a knock on the door”? What is a Palindrome, you ask? Well, you already know it or have seen it. According to Wikipedia: “A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other […]

How Similar are Two Words?
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. […]
