Re: I'd like to make a program and have no idea where to begin. IDE's like Notepad++ are fine if setup properly, but you can also run scripts on the command line (or power shell I guess), by typing "python yourscript.py" as well, assuming you've setup your paths correctly when installing python.

Re: I'd like to make a program and have no idea where to begin.
Re: I'd like to make a program and have no idea where to begin. This particular topic should probably be in the developer section, but having said that...The time library is unnecessary when doing raw_input, it will wait for input all on its own. That, and raw_input isn't in Python 3, just input() will do.If your interested, there's a few free books you can check out to cover the core basics: [Dive Into Python], and the [Python Practice Book]. If you feel like handling more advanced stuff after that, like TTS, audio, window/keyboard handling, feel free to ask.

Re: Where to begin?
Re: Where to begin? I am going to exude extreme patience here and say... "Start smaller!" the code you have just posted illustrates that you haven't even tried to follow my advice and read through the class tutorial carefully. For example, did you know that your code is declaring the same variables over and over again? In addition to that, you have 2 main functions. I don't remember if BGT allows functions to be overwritten, but if it does, your admin check will never happen because your second main proceeds your first one. If the override is block, which is more likely, you will get an error.Start by reading through sections 9 and 10 in the BGT tutorial, don't worry if you don't understand inheritence, but please, please, please actually make sure you understand the examples it provides. Right now you don't. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying that you need to start a lot smaller if you don't want to eventually just give up.

And if you guys give me names for attacks and record yourself saying them an an battle voice, that would be nice. I want it to have a simular concept as street fighter 4.

And i can do a russian accent, but mybe not a proper 1. And don't even ask me about a german 1. I am in a class with a bunch of indians, so i got that covered, although, it would be funny for me to voice all the characters. So your help would be really appreciated. Email me@vincentjai...@gmail.com.Skype me@Jaidon Vincent, and if you wish, i can add you to the TTgames/Blindsoft/vinnieware development folder on DB. I'll screen canadates. So far, its me and Adel Spence.

Re: Where to begin?
Re: Where to begin?
Well, one approach to making multiple levels is to have multiple loops, i.e...void level1_loop()
{
while (true)
{
playerloop(); //playerloop should handle all the keys pressed and should call any other functions necessary for the player to operate.
}//cl
}//cf
void level2_loop()
{
while (true)
{
playerloop(); //playerloop should handle all the keys pressed and should call any other functions necessary for the player to operate.
}//cl
}//cfI wouldn't suggest you do that, though. Personally, the way I would do it is by creating a class with a dictionary to store player's objectives and then change them when he or she levels up.For declaring classes, you really should read the BGT tutorial section on classes (I can't remember if it was 9 or 10, think 10), but in a nutshell, classes are containers that store bits of information. Consider this:class player
{
int x; //player x
int y; //player y
int health; //player health
//Below is the constructor for the player class. Think of a constructor as the birth of the player. Every time an object is instantiated (created) this function gets called
player(x, y, health)
{
x = x;
y = y;
health = health;
}//cf
}//ccThere's your basic class. How to use it is another matter, though. I unfortunately haven't worked with BGT in a while, so I can not remember how to create the class. Like I said, give the tutorial a read, it can be really helpful.

Re: Where to begin? you can also do what redfox does.For example since i know my game is going to need menu's, i know i have to make a menu class. since i know i am going to need selling and purchasing in my game that i am making now, i will need a player class, so i make 1.and lastly, since i know that i am going to deel with stats for coins, cups, milk sugar... and the data needs to be retrieved appon exiting and starting the game again, i will need to make a save and load class, let's call that the data class. that is responsible for the loding and saving of data. so i make 1 once again. just think about what all the things are that you are going to need for the game, and make classes or functions accoarding to your needs.

Wondering Where to Begin
Wondering Where to Begin I see that there are a lot of blind game developers in this forum, and I would like to know how you all got your start.Do you all have Computer Science or programming degrees?Or did you just read books and learn through trial and error?I have no knowledge of programming, but I think I would like to learn, with the goal of developing a game like Park Boss, or Aprones Castaways. I love resource management/strategy games, and there dont seem to be many out there. Id like to create something where you build and operate a wildlife refuge, a farm, a bakery, a zoo, etc.I know there are quite a few programming languages, so Im not even sure where to direct my efforts in self-education.With this goal in mind, could you recommend a starting point for me?

Re: Wondering Where to Begin
Re: Wondering Where to Begin @Mirage, well, as for myself I was not self-taught. I actually went to university and while there I was pursuing a degree in computer science and learned a number of programming languages such as C++, Java, Visual Basic 6, etc as part of my degree. However, that is not to say you have to go that route. These days it is quite possible to learn any language at home without spending a lot of money. However, if you want a quality education in software development you should spend some money on books and other resources since paid materials are almost always better than free ones.For example, Macmillan Publishing has a number of Sams Teach Yourself programming books such as Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days or Teach Yourself Visual Basic .NET in 24 Hours which are by far the easiest books to get started learning to programming. I have gotten several of them to keep my programming skills up to date and to learn new languages quickly and I think if you can afford them they are a good start.Another thing is Oreilly and Associates has a number of beginner books that are good that explains anything and everything you want to know about a given language such as Java in a Nutshell, Visual Basic .NET in a Nutshell, and so on which are very in depth books on a given language that are written from a fairly new programmers perspective.I guess at this point though before you do anything you need to know what you want out of a programming language. There are many programming languages and all of them have pros and cons. There is no absolutely right or absolutely wrong choice. It is just that some are better than others at doing certain things. Cost also might be a factor to consider. Platform is another. So once you think about more what you want to do with it that will help narrow down the choices for you.
