What i think would be helpful is an outline of all tactics and stuff I need to learn to complete a certain task that i am interested in.
That's true provided the task is not too complicated to start with...
This task is to write a very basic botting program for a pc game.
That will only be possible if somebody on the list knows anything about this specific game. That's by no means certain.
Tibia(Tibia.com). The program i want to write would start out being one simple feature. I want my program to look at my game and see when my health is below a certain ammount and heal my character by typing in a certain spell in the console of the game.
Thats not necessarily simple. It involves interrogating another program and interacting with it. That may be quite easy if there is an exposed and documented programming interface but if not its quite an advanced programming task.
Can anyone provide such a list of start to finish knowledge
Unless you are lucky and find somebody here that knows this particular game then I doubt it. We focus on teaching the fundamentals of Python and its standard library.
something called a tibia api and I am not sure if its relevant.
> Tibia is written in c++. Thanks :) It depends a lot on what that interface looks like. There is no trivial way to connect Python to C++ code unless the interface has been designed to operate that way, which is unlikely. It may be possible but its not likely to be a simple job for a beginner. What is your experience level in programming? You say you enjoy it which implies you have some experience? What languages have you used other than python? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
