| | I have decided that a text adventure would be better for me to learn from, as a visual game is confusing to me still. So, I was reading Chris O'leary's post about his text adventure game, Advent House, and got many ideas from there. I want to perfect his battle …  |

| | I have been looking for ways to call images and to move them around the screen, but I see many different ways exist. What is the best way to call images? And, does it matter where the image is? If the images filepath is usr/bin/local/sprite_fantasy will that affect how I … |

| | I am horribly (obssesed?) with writing a visually appealing game (simple) in python. My text adventures didn't appeal to my aufience (family), so I was looking at a tut on making a pac man clone, supposed to be line by line, it seemes choppy. Any ways, here is the code. … |

| | I am trying Vegaseat's suggestion in one of my threads to use shuffled lists for combat in my text adventure. He suggested creating two lists, myhit_list[1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 1] and monsterhit_list[1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 1] and using random.shuffle(myhit_list) and random.shuffle(monsterhit_list) iterated with "I … |
| | Okay, I just learned that in order to call a program I made in python, say, myfile.pyw, into a seperate program (say, other.pyw) I would use [code]execfile('myfile.pyw')[/code] instead of [code]import myfile.pyw[/code]. I did that, and get one of those ever so helpful traceback errors saying that 'start', the user input …  |

| | I hope this thread does not offend anyone. I get the impression that most of us are college age prog5rammers, so this might be easily solved. I am attempting to make a menstrual cycle calculator for my fiance. To begin with, I thought about going about it in the following … |
| | Alright, so far, what I think the problem begins with is not having a full understanding of syntax, and tabs versus spaces. I have my tab set to four spaces. When I run the following code, the Python GUI (the black ms-dos looking thing, right?) flashes for only a few … |
| | I recently downloaded Py2exe to make my python2.4 programs executable in motive of possible distribution. I looked online, and most of them tell me I need to use my ms-dos prompt, or command prompt. If these are two different things on my Windows 98 O.S., i cannot find command prompt. … |
