Hi Hayden,
Mainly it is just an issue of system performance. Running compiled pyc
files will run faster than running a Python program from raw source.
In a small
Hi Ryan,
Yes, I know about doc strings. Thing is though I personally don't like
them. I guess it has to do with the fact I come from a C/C++
background that using a doc string seams weird. Although, you have a
point if I am going to use these apps as training tutorials I should
use standard doc st
Hi,
Yeah, I am as well. I guess that is the price of technical
advancement. We are advancing so far so fast that games and other
software products we like quickly become outdated and disguarded as
progress marchs on. Usually company x never updates that game or
software, because they made their mo
Hi Charles,
Ah, that would be Kidnapped. That was a great text game for the Apple
II. If I could remember how to play it I could probably whip up a copy
in Python. This could turn into a classic case of going down memory
lane.
Interesting thing about this is with all the high tech games full of

Hi Thomas
Nice job with this! I just won a round on level 2. I'm glad you've
found Python as useful as I have. One suggestion though. I've noticed
you document your Python methods like this:
#Function: dealer_draw().
#Description: Draws a new card for the dealer.
Most Python programmers document t
Hi Dark,
Yeah. It isn't much as a game, but it should be pretty compatible with
anything that runs Python appplications. I'd imagine it would run on a
Braille Plus and similar devices since it has a Python interpreter
built in. There are also Python versions for Windows CE so that means

Hi Hayden,

In a small game like Blackjack I doubt it really matters much, but I
added the compiled pyc file anyway for performance sake.

Hi Tom.
Ah, I missed this, ow irritating!
I'll see about some news, sinse even though we do have working accessible
