Ive learned a decent bit of python from a trade school I was in and I am really interested in learning more and eventually do freelance work

And I’m looking for advice on ensuring I know enough to do that as well as some advice getting started

About learning more Python? Code up something interesting, or join an existing project and contribute.

About starting freelancing without a track record? Right now it’s difficult, though maybe that’s cyclical. But basically look on Craigslist and so on for help wanted. Stay away from bottom feeders like Fiverr. There is a monthly “who is hiring” post on Hacker News and a similar post for freelancers (mostly work seekers) but the entry barrier there can be sort of high.

What have you made using Python so far?

Tbh A snake clone using exclusively the turtle training library thingy

Oh and a flappy bird clone using pygames but that was from a tutorial

I have also made a few game jam games in Godot using gdscript which is a very similar language to python

It’d be worth posting them to GitHub or GitLab or somewhere where people can have a look and give you feedback.

Seems like you should make something less focused on games and solve problems in a different domain.
