A good programmer always writes direct, concise, and at the same time creative code

Learning the syntax of code is not enough to call yourself a programmer. A good programmer always writes direct, concise, and at the same time creative code. Unless you have hands-on experience in developing some good applications, you can never understand the subtleties of programming language. Python language is the most used programming language, you might be interested in trying some cool python projects to scratch your grey cells. Here is the list of top 10 mini python projects, beginners can try to enrich their Python learning process.

1. Mad Libs Generator: Mad Libs is nothing but a story generator that acts on a cue. Once a storyline is fed with some additional words and it generates a story. It is a good example to try Python coding to develop this application, and more so ideal for beginners.

2. What's the word: Want to know how prediction is modeled through programming language? Try this guessing game of words using alphabets. The user will guess an alphabet and enter it as input. If the random name has the guessed alphabet, it will be shown in the output. You can customize the number of chances the user has to come up with the correct guess.

3. Music Player: Tired of downloading music player apps not having the features you need? Design a music player application with Python. Apart from playing music, other features such as file exploration, file organization, and design clean, useful, and interactive search interface. It would make for an interesting project for beginners who would get to use basic concepts of Python programming while designing this app.

4. Leap year finder: A fun project to put your logical thinking abilities into practice through Python code. Finding a leap year though not a difficult task, most of us get it wrong, at least for some values. It involves creating a Python function to identify the pattern of leap years. When a year is given as input the result is displayed in a 'yes' or 'no'.

5. Tic-Tac-Toe: Who doesn't like to play this game to kill time or to prove their check-mating skills? Python learners can test their programming skills, by designing this game for digital screens. Pygame library which is used for generating computer graphics and sounds helps a lot in bringing this game to life.

6. Web crawler: If you have dreams to build a brand new search engine, perhaps this is the perfect project to start with. Typical web-crawler extracts requested data from the internet by scrapping millions of websites through an automated program script. To achieve this functionality with Python programming, a crawler bot has to be designed, which is possible either by developing the bot from scratch or using the crawling framework 'Scrapy'.

7. Text based adventure game: It is a text-based adventure game, wherein users move around different rooms with a single setting. Depending on the input given by the user, the program generates descriptions of the room. Users are given alternatives for different situations and the sequence of choices they make leads them to their destination. Aspiring game developers can start with this Python project to check where they stand in this game.

8. Contact Book: It is an intermediate-level programming language, which uses data structures and algorithms. As the user creates the contact book, he learns to write algorithms involving different databases. It is a command-line project, which comes as a good example for improvising on the basic programming skills.

9. Rock, paper, scissors: It's fun playing rock, paper, scissors, and more so when you can develop a program for it. You can generate the game using random functions available in Python programming. It is programmed by setting an alphabet or number to represent a move and a function to check for its validity.

10. Python command-line application: Python is a language known for its ability to generate command-line applications. Create some amazing command-line applications to send emails, transfer data using URL syntax, or generate a distributed version control system for Github. With the few inputs, you provide the application will carry out the task it is designed for.
