 | python is a little funky when it comes to certain number calculations. try rounding your answer: [CODE=python]print round(500-499.99,2) [/CODE] this will tell python to get to original answer (0.00999999999999 ), and round it to the second decimal (the second argument in round() is the number of decimals to round to) …  |

 | Hey everyone, as the title suggests I'm trying to find a function or some code that'll execute a string of code in Lua. If anyone is familiar with Python, It would be the eval function. ex: [CODE=python] eval("y=1") print(y) >>> 1[/CODE] Essentially, I'd like to do that same thing in … |

| | Here I have a simple range function that can use floats as steps or increments. In a time test (using Psyco 1.6, python 2.5, and a basic PC), the normal frange function was able to go up to 1,000,000 from 0, by .3 , and finish that in about 0.5929 …  |

| | Hey there Sri. For ending processes, you can check out the command 'taskkill' ([url]http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/taskkill.mspx?mfr=true[/url]) Your version of windows may or may not have a copy of taskkill.exe in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ ,which is the actual command itself.

| | Hi everyone. I'm currently working on a project with c#, and had some questions about classes. I'm a python programmer, so bear with me ;) How would I make a class that has pre defined arguments? I.e. even if the user doesn't pass that arguement, the default value of it …  |

| | here are some tips. First off, after stating class person, you must have three spaces for each following line. 3 for each semicolon. As for init, it needs two under scores __ like so: [CODE=python]class person: def __init__(self): print('__init__ not _init_ :)')[/CODE] just like functions, classes can pass arguments. Use … |
| | Re: reading pixels i don't know much about Image library, but it's quite easy todo with pygame: [CODE=python] # import pygame import pygame from pygame.locals import * # import our picture image = pygame.image.load('picture.bmp') for x in image.get_width(): for y in image.get_height(): # for each pixel in the image, print out it's RGB … |
| | I don't think there is a lib that can cover all operating systems that use python, because they are all coded differently (I could be wrong, though :p) I know that you can grab key+mouse(and mouse wheel) input (outside of the main window) with pyhook [url]http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pyhook/index.php?title=Main_Page[/url] It's pretty resourcful; I … |

| | say if n was circle, this is what python interprets: [CODE=python]pygame.draw."circle"(screen, (random.randrange(255), random.randrange(255), random.randrange(255)), (random.randrange(640), random.randrange(480)), 50 )[/CODE] now thats not code; its a string. you could add if statements like so: [CODE=python]if z == 'circle': pygame.draw.circle(arguements_go_here) elif z == 'line': # code for drawing line here[/CODE] |
| | hi everyone. Just out of curiosity more than anything; does anyone know of a library that can grab microphone input (on windows)? I'm looking into how to write a kind of VoIP (voice ip) program. I know how to use sockets for sending/receiving data, but I just need the microphone …  |
| | when you draw a circle on the screen w/ pygame, you are not making a class instance. you are calling a function. you would need to have a seperate x and y variable incrementing up every game loop to make it look like it is moving  |

| | hello everyone. Right now i'm currently working on a 3d engine in python and pygame. it supports images that can (will) be mapped and transformed to look 3d. in pygame, you can load your basic image, do rotations and scales, etc. But the only thing it lacks (perhaps b/c it's … |

| | Hi all. I'm having a bit of trouble (maybe it's easier than I think..) finding the lowest and highest number in a tuple of lists. Here is my main tuple: [CODE=python]list_of = ([0,7],[100,25],[150,59],[300,189]) [/CODE] so pretty much, I need python to return the lowest and highest number for each 'item' … |
| | as for creating your own terrain, thats gets really deep into the mechanics of the game. You would have to have the tools that the artists/programmers have at blizzard. I'm sure they have to make a level, add a bunch of crazy collision algorithms (prolly written in c++), then compile … |
 | I think what you are looking for is: [CODE=python]background = pygame.image.load(bif).convert() # notice that pygame surfaces use 'convert' not 'covert'. # it's just a simple syntax error. also, out of curiosity, why are you # converting your background to support alpha transparency? # Unless you are drawing image behind 'background', … |
| | Re: Pygame help you know, pygame has it's own rect collision system: [CODE=python]g=Rect(0,0,50,50) h=Rect(30,30,60,60) if Rect.colliderect(g,h)==1: print "g and h have collided!" else: print "g and h have not collided yet" [/CODE] hope that helps! |
