A collection of random short scripts I wrote in python, mostly for fun.

room_movement.py

Movement mechanics for a text based adventure game I created. There were many possible ways to do this, but I found that assigning fluid values to a dictionary and iterating through to determine your current bearings has worked best. Includes an area at the end for testing the program.

nhl_standings_project (folder)

As a hockey fan, I've always been surprised at the lack of published data on team trends over the course of a season. For example, the Buffalo Sabres started their 2019-2020 season going 9-2-2, one of the top teams in the league. By the end of the season, however, they had dropped to 30-31-8. Nobody remembers their phenominal first month because of their final record. This project scraped standings from the National Hockey League to show trends in teams over the course of a season. I will eventually publish data from several seasons, showing which teams tend to start strong, which teams start slow but pick up momentum as the season progresses, etc.

fwc_tour_dates_scrape

Used to see if any bands that are signed under my favorite record label Fat Wreck Chords are touring nearby. Gives you the ability to input your state and get a list of every band that has a date scheduled through there, without having to click on each individual band and check manually.

sports_betting_ml_project (IN PROGRESS)

Planning to create an algorithm that looks at current odds and selects those that are most likely to hit.
