  Fatima Ahmed: Hi David, thanks for joining.  Can you please build me another tutorial using Java or Python. How about building a very simple and easy chatbot using Java. Or can you show how to run the Python chatterbot package? It is a python package to build chatbots.

    David Landup Hi Fatima, yes I can make a Server/Client chatbox in Java using sockets and Swing for GUI. This video would last around 20 minutes, and it would be a very simple and easy chatbox to follow and recreate!

    Fatima Ahmed David, 20 minutes would be a bit too long. Can you shorten it to 10 minutes? Also, do you think this project will be suitable for school children or too advanced for them?

This might be a bit too advanced for some school children, because it requires understanding of sockets and data streams which might be a new concept for them, unlike the calculator project which is already familiar to them (basic math and calculations)...

They define the range of numbers, a random number is chosen within that range, and then they have to guess it. If they guess an incorrect number, the game tells them if they guessed higher or lower than the number, and so on until they guess the correct number. It's easy for them to follow and understand, as well as engaging and fun, they can even use it to play around  less
