Idle.py — Python Tutorial Game

Coding lessons & AI engineer

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

6,500 new quiz questions, an exponentially powerful late-game, and adaptive difficulty from beginner Python to frontier AI engineering — pick your level and play. Idle.py — a Python tutorial disguised as an idle game. Learn Python and modern AI engineering by playing. Tap to generate FLOPs (floating-point operations), then spend them on Compute Units that keep earning while you're away. Every Compute Unit you unlock — from your first variable to an AGI Lab — ships with a hand-written lesson, code samples, a quick-check quiz, and a 50-question practice bank. Real coding lessons. Real curriculum. No filler. THE COMPUTE UNIT LADDER • Variable, Function, Class, Module — Python's atoms. • Tensor, Neuron, Layer — what every model is built from. • Attention Head, Transformer Block — the 2017 idea that ate AI. • Foundation Model, Agent — pretraining, fine-tuning, tool-using LLMs. • GPU Cluster — distributed training: DDP, tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, NCCL. • AGI Lab — the recursive endgame. PYTHON PROGRAMMING BASICS (always free, always on) Lists & Tuples · Dicts & Sets · Strings & f-strings · Control Flow · Comprehensions · Iterators & Generators · Decorators · Exception Handling. PRACTICE BANKS Every lesson has 50 questions. Correct +1 knowledge, wrong −1 — drift below a bucket and your bonus drops. Option order reshuffles every draw, so you learn the answer, not the position. THREE REWARD AXES • Mastery (+1% per level) — earned from quizzes, capped at three per Compute Unit. • Knowledge (flat FLOPs/sec bonus) — earned from practice banks. • Insight (compounding multiplier) — earned from retraining the run. AI LANDMARKS 27 lifetime-FLOP milestones from "Hello, World" through GPT-4 and beyond. Each grants a permanent tap multiplier. The history of artificial intelligence is your scoreboard. TRANSCENDENCE (hardcore loop) Stack ten GPU Clusters and you can transcend: wipe the run for a permanent global multiplier and one Transcendence Unit (TU). Spend TU to unlock Singularity and ASI — the loop above the loop. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. Optional one-time purchases only: • Founder Pack — permanent ×2 multiplier on FLOPs and tap. • Mentor Pack — advanced curriculum (LoRA, RLHF, Mixture of Experts, Evals). • Time skips and insight packs as small consumables. WHO IT'S FOR • Beginners who want a more rewarding Python tutorial than another video course. • Engineers picking up the modern AI engineering stack from the ground up. • Anyone who wants their idle game to teach them something real. Idle.py respects your time. Progress saves automatically. Offline FLOPs are credited on launch. No popup ads. No timers built to wear you down. Just the curriculum, the loop, and the math.

6,500 NEW QUIZ QUESTIONS Every Compute Unit now has 500 hand-crafted questions spanning 10 difficulty tiers — from "what is a variable" to FlashAttention-3 warp specialization. Pick your starting level in onboarding; switch any time from the Library. EXPONENTIAL ENDGAME Transcendence was rebalanced from additive to multiplicative — each TU now multiplies your global economy by an increasing factor (×3, ×4, ×5, ×6...). Output Brackets extended past 500 owned all the way to 10,000. QUALITY OF LIFE • Persistent level badge on every upgrade — no more pop-in • Lesson summaries collapse to "Show more" so quizzes fit on one screen • CLI-styled coach line tells you exactly what to do next • Save migration system protects your progress through future updates • Onboarding now sets your skill level so quizzes match you from minute one
