Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? @24, very good points. I just started working with Python, and I really like it so far, especially the interpreter (or practice area if you prefer) you get when you run Python by itself from the command line. So far, I've used the Print() command to display text, and figured out how to accept input, such as to ask a user for their name.I'm also going through the Diving into Python book, but am looking at other tutorials as well.Thanks.Yours Sincerely,Kelly Sapergia URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/431186/#p431186 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? i kinda agree with nuno. Though i'm learning nothing currently, but i know that you can find pritty much books/tutorials/other stuff to learn python.And @20, i have a feeling that if something is hard to do you will never do it. That's not a good position.

Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? OK, answering the question from our friend @ksapergia:Really man, you have a lot of interesting options to take, you have to check witch language fits better for you, and your projects.In my case, mi favorite Language for various kind of projects is c#, but python is after that, and is a very well and powerful option.In the other hand, you have a _javascript_; that is a good language, let you easily make web content and package your result for various platforms using packagers like electron.Maybe visual basic.net can be a good option for you, specially that you have previous experience with other basic language But well, you have a lot of good options; check the basics of these that attracts you, and finally chose one.

Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? @20, don't know where you ever came up with the foolish notion that 'Python isn't well documented'. Its documentation is excellent.

Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? @16, uh, dude, since MS is the dev of Windows, they can very easily remove all of those 32-bit components. But why would you want to make a game that's 32-bit when you might need to load 4-5 GB of sounds? (And yes, this does happen in the mainstream community, where games will load or stream enormous assets into RAm and before you know it, that game is suing 6GB of RAM.)

Re: Which Language Should I Start With? Dude I'm sorry to derail your topic, but I just wanted to say how much of an impact your music had for me growing up. You worked on some of the most iconic projects of the era, and your music will always be associated with that time in my life and with those games for me, to the point that I can recognize most of your tracks just by hearing the first few seconds.Your compositions, for me, elicit the same feeling of nostalgia that tracks from Mario, sonic, or Pokimon would for someone who grew up with those games.Plus, they were just awesome at conveying the mood, from heart pumping action to calm, reflective cutscene to sneaking around stealthily waiting for the next conflict.I know from personal interactions with people that your work has helped to inspire some blind kids to become keyboardists or take up electronic composing as a hobby.Do you happen to have any sort of archive of those songs? I'd happily buy it on bandcamp or something, and also direct friends who grew up with the same games to it. I can understand if some of the music you worked on can't be released do to featuring work from other composers, or the commercial rites still remaining with the game's developer, but what ever you can offer would be appreciated.Some of my favorites are the background music from treasure hunt Area 2, dark destroyer menu music, the second dark destroyer background level track, the calm background/cutscene track from treasure hunt, the battle music from treasure hunt, and the track named ms4-1.ogg from TDV2, as well as the track named background6.wav from Tarzan Junior.And those are just from the games I know you worked on...

Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? Everyone has their own opinions as to which language they prefer, though all have their particular uses and certain similarities. I generally recommend python because its powerful, has lots of documentation and libraries, and has a strong community of people to help out if needed. Given your previous experience with GWBasic, you'll probably find some elements familiar, such as variables, loops, if statements, etc.You can get started by grabbing python [here], once thats done you can check out a number of free books such as [Dive Into Python], [How To Think Like A Computer Scientist], or the [Python Practice Book].Once you have a handle on the core language, you can move on to things like Pyglet or Pygame for basic audio, window, and input handling. For more advanced audio you can check out my OpenAL examples [here], for screen reader output you could use Tolk, though its repo is experiencing some issues lately, you can grab an example set [here] that has the files you'd need.If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.

Re: Which Language Should I Start With?
Re: Which Language Should I Start With? It really depends. No person will be totally truthful. Take me, for example. I'll tell you to use python and give you 100 reasons why, but someone else, say, Ethan, would tell you that you shouldn't use Python because C++ is better. Each thing you learn has it's own flaws and advantages. Look around, type your question into google, do some research, and then choose for yourself.
