C# Developer Learns Python

I’m a C# gamedev and I’ve never learned Python before. But I wanted to challenge myself by making a game in python. I thought it would be a great idea to run a mile for every bug in my code and shave my head if I don’t run each mile in 8 minutes. In the end, I was able to make a simple game (Flappy Bird meets bad mobile game ads?)

Video Update:

I had to reupload this video with new music because I got 2 music copyright claims.

Super Descriptive Description:

I have never learned python before and I wanted to challenge myself by running a mile for every bug in my code. I wanted to make a game by using the library pygame. However, I also had the side quest of shaving my head if I don’t run each mile in 8 minutes. I thought it would be simple as python is obviously the easiest language to learn. Hopefully I won’t put any semicolons used in C#. But throughout the experience, I experienced quite a few bugs but not as much as I expected. I think this was a fun challenge and learned a lot about python game development. Also, I showed my game to a python expert (my friend) in the end.
