Yeah - Python is an easy language, and its awesome. Especially if you use the PyGame module for game development. Its really high-level and has wierd syntax, but once you get used to it its really easy. I ditched GM a long long time ago, and finally, after a long wait, Python has lodged itself as a suitable replacement.
Today's bit of code?from socket import *sock=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)sock.connect(("irc.astrolink.org", 6667))while 1:…..sock.send('SPAM')Theoretically that would send the IRC server packets containing 'SPAM', indefinitely. Quick and easy :D (the 5 dots represent a tab, cause of whitespace removal >_>)On my physics midterm, the class average was around 55%. My score? 87%! Yeah - I pwn - ph34r my 1337 physics skillz! Etc… I also made an anthill simulator for another class for midterm project.Also, my roommate is continuously playing Odin Sphere - an interesting looking game.
Try pyglet (http://pyglet.org). A lot of people prefer it to pygame (my self included).
Hmmmm… PyGlet looks interesting? What benefits does it have over PyGame?
Updated more frequently. Simple OpenGL access (Pygame needs PyOpenGL which is a pain to set up- and you will want open gl to use textured primitives). Pygame requires numeric (old. no easy support for the newer numpy) for surfarray. In my experience, pyglet was easier to learn and had clearer docs. Pyglet supports easy multiple windows (and multi screen) [maybe pygame can too?].
Those are the ones that I know of anyway. I didn't use Pygame for long enough to be able to tell you other disadvantages compared to pyglet (I really wanted easy textured primitives) [but this isn't to say that pygame doesn't have advantages as well!].If you try it, then don't go past the 'programmers guide' that comes with pyglet docs.FAWKS
I just like people talking about it because it contains my name <_<
Also, Holy cow DF is a mod? When did this happen <_<Pyglet looks awesome! Reading docs currently.
Python… games?
Python is sexy. And your codez are whackk;
[pre]import socketirc= socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)irc.connect('irc.astrolink.org',6667)irc.send('USER fukuuuu fukuuuu fukuuuu :fukuuuu\r\n')irc.send('JOIN #64digits\r\n')while 1: data = irc.recv ( 4096 ) if data.find ( 'PING' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PONG ' + data.split() [ 1 ] + '\r\n' ) irc.send('PRIVMSG #64digits :fukuuuuuuuu\r\n')[/pre]Much better
