Michael,
it just occurred to me that people on this thread cd probably help you
better if they knew something of the programs you have written so
far, in whatever language.
Regards,
Tom

Ian,
i agree with you if the tasks for experimentation are kept small. and
the experimenting is above all a lot of fun. people hang themselves in
systems work by biting off more than they can chew.
writing a system from scratch can be a good learning experience, but
it is rarely done in the world
​Since this has turned into an advice thread . . .
Having taught Python for several years, I find that the best way to learn
any language, but Python in particular, is to just sit down and try a lot
of things, without assistance. It sounds like you're trying to make a game.
That's great, but you s
Michael,
congratulation on yr find!
BTW, people who program for a living will always start a project by
looking around for a similar system. i wd bet that in the majority of
cases, systems running today have used another system as a starting
point and in many cases just modified it to suit their
So while looking around the internet today, I came across this little gem:

The amount of code in it that help is outstanding, and really helps with
learning how to code a board game.

I am not familiar with the names, again, I am a VERY novice coder, have
watched one tutorial, whilst going through the book 'invent with python' as
well.

i suspect your answer is with tongue in cheek, but just in case it's not ...
here is a bit of pseudo code in the style that i use. every programmer
who uses pseudo code has his own little version
get the records
for each record
get next record
check if it contains 'jack
No, I am not familiar with that at all.

do you know about pseudo code?

You basically just need to work out what you want, then figure out a way
to go about it, programming is very f
Folks!
Thanks for the discussion. Very helpful. I'm a newbie also with
pygame. Not very far along with python either.
Thanks Michael for starting the discussion. The advice to work on
parts of the stuff and to find examples is important. I have written a
lot of software in other languages and tho
There are several ways to do that - you could make territories be a
collection of small tiles, or you could use some sort of polygon system.

Quick question:
For my game I want territories that are different shapes, not tiles, is it
done the same way? or is there another process completely?

You can look up how to do combat 'die' rolls here:

That site has a lot of example code if you look under the 'examples'
section.

As Winkleink said, the Invent With Pygame stuff is awesome; tons of good
hands-on examples. The author is very cool and will probably help you out
or recommend a blog post if you have specific questions on how something
works. http://inventwithpython.com/

I actually coded my own pong game, I forgot to add a pause menu though.
However, I still need to know how to code in 'combat' (die rolls,
