If anyone if familiar with the game Set (they release a new one daily here), I wrote a program in Python to solve a basic 3 by 4 grid. It's also sold as a card game that you can play with family and friends if you're interested in purchasing it. Basically each card has four attributes: shape, color, number, and fill. And you have to find sets within the 12 cards laid out in front of you. A set is composed of three cards where each attribute is either all the same or all different. So basically my program can find those sets when you're stuck. It's kinda tedious inputting all the information but I thought it would be fun to share it anyways! I'm not an expert in coding AT ALL. This was just a fun project :)
def main():
table = []
#populate the table
#input the cards for the first row
print("Are you stuck? Well you've come to the right place!")
print()
print("First, tell us what cards are on the table.")
print()
print("Name the cards by number, color, shape, and pattern.")
print()
print("For number, put in a '1', '2', or '3'.")
print("For color, put in 'red', 'purple', or 'green'.")
print("For shape, put in 'oval', 'diamond', or 'wave'.")
print("For fill, put in 'blank','solid', or 'striped'.")
print()
print("Okay! Let's get started!")
print()
#possible inputs
numbers = ["1","2","3"]
colors = ["red", "purple", "green"]
shapes = ["oval","diamond","wave"]
fills = ["blank","solid","striped"]
#user inputs data

card = []
print("CARD " + str(t + 1))
