Creating an API REST with Python, Flask and SQLite3

In this Python programming tutorial you will learn how to create a REST API using Flask, SQLite 3 (for data), and JSON for data communication.

In the end you will have an API that you can consume from any client that could be an Android application, a browser with JavaScript or even another server language.

I will show you how to create an API that communicates using JSON and saves the data in SQLite 3. The API will be created with Flask, and we will use the Python programming language to handle all the data.

Tetris game in JavaScript – Open source

In this post I will show you the Tetris game programmed in pure JavaScript, totally free and open source.

This block game is programmed with JavaScript and uses canvas to paint the game. I also use Bootstrap for the layout of the buttons and the page in general, with a bit of SweetAlert for the alerts.

Although it seems simple to do, it is one of the jobs that has cost me the most and of which I am most proud. It was complex (for me) to understand all the logic for collisions, rotations, row deletion, part movement, limits, etc.

Among the features of the game we find:

  • Sounds: background music, sound when the piece cannot be rotated, when a complete row is made and when the tetromino touches the ground
  • Colors: each piece has a random color chosen at runtime
  • Rotations: pieces can be rotated to accommodate them and accumulate points
  • Mobile compatible: because it is web, I have added some buttons to be able to play it on mobile phones and tablets, but it can also be played with the keyboard
  • Open source: you can modify the game, the board, the length, speed, pieces, rotations, etc.
  • Tetris port: behaves like any normal tetris game
  • Game pause: the game can be paused or resumed at any time

Let’s see then the details of this game programmed in JS. Throughout the post I will show you how this game is programmed, I will also leave you a demo and the complete code which is FOSS.

Note: figure, piece and tetromino will be used synonymously in this post.

Enable CORS in Flask app

In this post I will show you how to enable CORS (Cross Origin Resource sharing) so that you can make HTTP requests from a different domain than the one you use for your Flask application written in Python.

We will just add a kind of middleware to modify all the responses and add the headers that allow CORS in Flask.

Java: binary to text translator

In this post about Java I am going to teach you how to convert text to binary, and binary to text. That is, make a type of text – binary translator in Java to be able to convert between both formats.

Another way to call this is to say “Binary to English translator” for example.

Text to binary translator in Java

For example, convert 1110000 1100001 1110010 1111010 1101001 1100010 1111001 1110100 1100101 101110 1101101 1100101 to “parzibyte.me” and vice versa.

All this programmed in Java with manual methods and custom logic.
