Alright, so I decided to mess around with this “garfield football” thing. I’d seen some stuff about it online, and it looked kinda goofy, so I figured, why not?
First, I needed to figure out what exactly I was dealing with. I did some digging around, and I realized I need Python. And I need to get a special package that I don’t had, so I go head install that in terminal.

I fired up my trusty text editor, and I just started typing. I found a basic ‘Hello, World!’ script.I needed it to run first, just to get an idea. After some testing and playing around with the basic codes, I had a general idea with it. It wasn’t too bad getting that to work. Just save the file, run it from the command line, and boom – a simple script.
Make It Work
- Got the basics running: Got the environment set up, Python installed, and a basic script working.
- Experimented:Played around with variables, basic logic, and printing output.
Now, I was getting a little more comfortable, so I wanted to start pulling in some information, using what I had learned from the basic script. So, I learned more about the codes and functions. After a bit, I got the key logic of this little project down.
It takes a bit of trial and error. I run the script, it throws some errors, I fix the errors, I run it again. It’s a bit of a back and forth, but eventually, I get it to the point where it’s not throwing any errors, and it’s doing more of what I expected.
The code is still kinda rough. But hey, it’s working! And that’s the main thing. You can always clean it up and make it pretty later. The important part is getting it to do what you want.
So that’s my little adventure. It was a fun little distraction, and I actually learned a few things along the way. Maybe I’ll try to make the script more advanced later, I don’t know. For now, I’m happy with my little creation.
