How a Maze-Solving Robot and Hangman Game Got Me Back into Python

So here’s what I’ve been up to 👇

🧩 Reeborg’s World — Loops, Logic & a Tiny Robot

I found this site called Reeborg’s World, and I’m not even embarrassed to say — I’m OBSESSED.

It’s a Python-based logic game where you write code to control a little robot named Reeborg. You make him move, turn, pick stuff up, and solve maze-like challenges.

Here’s why I loved it:

• It made while loops click for me again

• It's visual, so mistakes are instantly obvious

• You watch your logic walk (or crash) through the screen

If you're learning Python or brushing up on it, seriously try this. 10/10 for learning + 10/10 for serotonin.

🎮 Project 1: Hangman — My Childhood in Code

This was my first full Python project after revisiting the basics.

📝 What it does:

• Randomly selects a word

• Takes user guesses

• Displays progress, lives, and whether you won or lost

💡 What I learned:

• String handling

• Lists, conditionals, loops

• Error handling (and how frustrating typos are)

Was it easy? No.
Was it worth the debugging at 1:27 AM? Also yes.

🔐 Project 2: Caesar Cipher — Encrypting Like It’s 500 BC

I wanted to try something logic-heavy, so I built a simple Caesar Cipher encoder/decoder in Python.

It takes user input and shifts each letter by a certain number of characters. Sounds simple? Try accounting for:

• Wrapping around the alphabet

• Spaces

• Numbers

• Capital vs lowercase

Let’s just say — Caesar would not have hired me on attempt one 😭

🛠 What’s Next?

I’ll be:

• Finishing 1–2 more small Python projects

• Starting Git & GitHub

• Slowly diving into Linux (aka the scary terminal world)

• Using web dev as my creative break when logic fries my brain

Also continuing this “blog everything I learn” format — not just for others, but to track how far I’ve come.
