My Journey into Python and Game Development: Beyond the Basics

#beginners #gamedev #learning #python

Hello dev community
I’m Mattia Santangelo, and I’m currently diving deep into the world of software development. While many start with simple tutorials, I’ve decided to take a more structured approach by mastering Python as my core language before moving full-scale into Godot Engine.

I’m currently working on my Dell setup, using VS Code as my primary editor. My focus isn't just on "learning to code," but on understanding how to build actual tools and logic. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with:

Automation scripts using Python's os and sys modules.

System Speech synthesis to integrate voice commands into my scripts.

Logical structures for future game mechanics in Godot.

My goal is to document my progress here, sharing the challenges I face while building my portfolio and transitioning from scripting to game architecture.

I'm a firm believer that the best way to learn is by building and breaking things. If you have any tips on clean code or Python-to-Godot workflows, I’d love to connect.

Stay tuned for my next project update.
