Give me ideas of games I can create using Unreal Engine 5.

All you need to know about IF statements

You may be thinking: I already know how to use IF statements in Python.
Yes, you do.
So, why am I writing this?
Well, if you have just started learning Python, or if you have never used it before, here are some tips that may help you:

If you want to test if a variable is True or False, you can just do this:

variable1 = True
variable2 = False

if variable1:
   print("The first variable is True")

if not variable2:
   print("The second variable is False")

You can do the same thing to test if there is a value assigned to the variable:

variable1 = "Some text"
variable2 = 1
variable3 = ""

if variable1:
   print("The first variable has a value assigned to it")

if variable2:
   print("The second variable has a value assigned to it")

if not variable3:
   print("The third variable has not a value assigned to it")

To check if a value is inside a list, use this:

numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five"]

if "four" in numbers:
   print("The number four is in the list")

Remember: "one" is numbers[0], not numbers[1]. This last one is "two".

Atention: to check if a value is equal to another, you can't use the examples above. Use x == y.

LocalServer

Hi!
I'm working on a project that will be very useful for many others.
When I was learning Python, I created a program that creates an account for the user.
It had two variables: username and password.
But every time I ran the program, the values of both variables weren't the same.
So, I'm creating this project, that will sove the problem.
The idea is to create a text file that will work as a server.

def CreateFile(name):
  try:
    with open(f"{name}.txt", "a+"):
      return 0
  except:
    pass

This code will create a text file.
The next time you run the your code, it'll check if the file already exists.
If it does, nothing will happen.
To add informations to the file you can call the function Write():

def Write(name, value):
  with open(f"{name}.txt", "a") as file:
    file.write(f"[INFO]:{value}]")

As you may have noticed, the text file that you want to acess is a string, not a variable:

# this is TestFile.py
import LocalServer

# creates a text file named MyFile
LocalServer.CreateFile("MyFile")

# adds Hello, World! to MyFile.txt
LocalServer.Write("MyFile", "Hello, World!")

You can test if some text is in your text file or add settings to it.
I'll keep working on this project so that it'll be complete.
