Re: [blind-gamers] Introduction, and programming questions

Just a quit explanatory email to address some of the issues raised, and (possibly) explain why python is so popular. First off, languages like python, java perl and ruby  are interpreted languages, not compiled ones.  This means, that by their very nature, they will be slower than compiled

OK, I'm not going to try and answer all of your questions here, partly because I already feel this topic is getting quite off topic, and secondly because some of it is frankly far outside my experience, and I('d hate to speak out of turn and give out incorrect information. If this is something

Re: [blind-gamers] Introduction, and programming questions

Hi Chris, If I implied that Python was evil based on irrefutable evidence, then that was definitely not my intention. Indeed, it is apparently the third most popular programming language behind C and Java (according to Wikipedia), and most of its output is perfectly usable. I myself use NVDA

Re: [blind-gamers] Introduction, and programming questions

I would say this is massively subjective, although there are some valid points in there I guess. It also completely glosses over a few major facts. Namely: 1. Speed is less and less of a problem these days. 2. It's much easier to read than either C or C++. 3. It's much more maintainable than

Re: [blind-gamers] Introduction, and programming questions

Hi, Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about Python. For what my opinion's worth, I would suggest C or C++, all the way, 100%. The one advantage I can see with Python, apart from the fact that it is regularly maintained (always a plus), is its inherent ability to package scripts

Hi, If BGT arrays are the same as in C++, they won’t be very flexible if you use them to store cards because you won’t be able to add or remove items very easily. In C++ you can get around this by using vectors but I don’t know how you would do this in BGT. If you instantiated objects, then
