🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher installed on your system
• Basic understanding of Python syntax
• Text editor or IDE (VS Code, PyCharm, etc.)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/khabzox/20-beginner-py-projects.git
   cd 20-beginner-py-projects

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   • macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate

4. Install required dependencies for each project as needed (check individual project READMEs)

📁 Project Structure

Each project is contained in its own directory and typically includes:

• main.py - The main Python script
• README.md - Project-specific documentation
• requirements.txt - Python dependencies (if applicable)
• Additional files as needed
