title: How to create variable names with a "for" loop?
body: <p>I know my title may be somewhat confusing, but I had trouble describing my issue. Basically, I need to create a bunch of variables that all equal <code>0</code>, and I want to do this with a <code>for</code> loop so I don't have to hard code it.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is each variable needs to have a different name and when I call the number from my <code>for</code> loop to create the variable, it doesn't recognize that I want the number from the <code>for</code> loop. Here is some code so that makes more sense:</p>
  
  <pre><code>total_squares = 8
  box_list = []
  for q in range(total_squares):
    box_q = 0
    box_list.append(box_q)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need it to create <code>box_1</code> and add that to the list, then create <code>box_2</code>, and add that to the list. Just it thinks I'm calling a variable <code>box_q</code>, rather than calling the number in the <code>for</code> loop.</p>
