hey guys, this is not really a Python question. When ever im doing a tutorial, it could be pygame or some gui application, i usually find everything straight forward until the demonstration involves drawing. Then maths is applied and i can't follow along as easily. In the end by commenting out certain lines of code, i understand what each line is doing but the fact is im still faced with being very weak at drawing and working out the logic behind it. I also can't imagine if im designing a program and need to do drawings of my own how i would work out the calculations and be able to think for myself. The help im asking for is what do i need to study to be able to design my own programs that involve drawing? do i need to go off and learn maths? if so which type? some sort of geometry? or do i start studying some sort of physics? or does the answer lie within some framework/library python tutorial?
on amazon ive seen: maths books physics book 2d engine physics books(box2d etc) game physics books - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Physics-/dp/147103397X/ my other problem is i don't want to over do it. do i need to buy a game physics book, if all i want to do is understand how to implement my own calculations for complex objects etc? then again maybe that's not so bad. If you know your way around this stuff? what did you learn that gave you these skills? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
