**Python Playground**

A project-driven collection of Python experiments for curious programmers. Spans data parsing, simulations such as cellular automata and flocking, image manipulation, 3D graphics with OpenGL, and hardware tinkering with Arduino and Raspberry Pi—meant for exploration more than linear textbook study.
