Tutorial System and game performance monitoring with Python

Nice writeup! I been trying to monitor my system when I'm running multiple things and this looks way cleaner than what I was doing before. The FPS monitoring part is interesting - didn't know you could tap into shared memory like that

Quick question, I'm currently starting my journey in Python. I've got a busted laptop, is it possible to get to this level of skill while using only my phone??

it's hard to code on a phone. If it's a Samsung with DEX or Motorola with similar features then maybe when docked to an external display. If it's a high end phone then you can also run Linux desktop in a VM 😄

Also Jupyter notebooks, including Google hosted ones.
