      I literally has a professor like this for game development. If you made something funny or cool looking, even if it was objectively bad relative to what the assignment was, you got the grade, but if it happened to look boring, but highly technical and required a lot of work, you never got the credit you deserved for the time invested, even if you ended up getting a good grade.

      In python you need to use them to let the program know that the stuff youre writing rn is supposed to be in a loop, if statement, etc.
      For example (pretend that the bunch of spaces is 1 indent):
      while true:
      print("hello world")
      print("bye")
      This will never print "bye" because its not in our loop, because its not indented and the while true loop will run forever
