Python Starter Code

Instructions:

Use the code below to start any python project. Change the name of the main function 'mymain()' to anything you like, just be sure to change the call-out of the function below in the if statement at the end which begins the execution of the our program. This is why large games and applications take a little bit to load, all functions and other instructions are loaded up in memory, then executed at the end of the code.

# Import libraries and assign all global variables below


# This is the main function which may call other functions in a large programming project.  
def mymain():
    
    
# The if statement below is the method that python uses to start executing a program.
# Every function (or set of instructions) are read and stored in memory
#   then the program begins to execute the functions with this if statement.

if __name__=='__main__':
    mymain()  		# This calls-out the function above to begin executing.
