Re: [pygame] pygame participation in Google Summer of Code

hi, It might be best (if you have time), to make another application for something to do with python, and not so much pygame. Keep your original application. Since there's only two of us mentoring for pygame so far - and there have been quite a few pygame related applications. It would

If you can find an existing AI project that looks good, perhaps approach them and see if they will mentor you. Do you know where these other python AI projects are Richard? cheers, On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 8:35 AM, Richard Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 3 Apr 2008, Nisarg Kothari

Re: [pygame] pygame participation in Google Summer of Code

I've searched pretty thoroughly for a project similar to mine, and to date I have not been able to find one. There are a lot of implementations and projects dealing with 'research ai', but none that focus on the practical kinds of AI implementations that are used extensively as solutions to
