ThePerson is an open-source Python simulation of a person living
inside your computer. It features a central Person class that developers
can expand with new attributes, behaviors, and quirks.
Our main goal is to help open-source developers, no matter beginner or experienced, to learn OOP and collaborate with other Python programmers while building something never been built before on GitHub (I think).
- This project is beginner-friendly with plenty of support for newcomers.
- The best way to learn OOP, and anything else, is by doing.
- There are infinite possibilities and always more you can add to the project.
