If it is going to be text based, why would you use XNA? If you want to do something really awesome, try making a game similar to "Dwarf Fortress". It is basically a game which uses ASCII characters to represent objects instead of images. However, it would be quite complex.
PS. Brain-Storm is no longer a politically correct term, due to the offence that it may cause to those with certain brain complications or learning difficulties. http://www.eduqna.com/Other/2587-7-other.html
Not sure why you have such a long for loop at the end there. Surely you can make the string into a list of chars, then you add a character at the end (which is the same as the first one) and remove the starting character.
No, it's a python question. What would I need to put in my code that means I will have the file path to what the user opened with my program/script? I know how to do everything in those two links. If it was a windows question, I would have put it in the windows forum ;)
I have made a program in Python with PyGame and PyOpenGL to test out vertex and pixel (fragment) shaders. I would like to be able to right click on the shader file (just a text file with a custom extension) and choose Open With... and then open with my Python program. How could I go about doing this? I am willing to convert to an executable with Py2Exe if the need arises.
If anyone wants to see the code for their own interest, I will put it up.
One useful trick for creating sky is "sky box". Basically, this is a cube surrounding your entire map (ie everything is inside it). On the inside of the cube, you map a sky texture. Unfortunately, this presents other issues to deal with, such as removing the seams at the edges of the cube. Do a bit of google-ing to see what you can find on sky boxes. I would have given you a link to a site which could help you better, but I would need to know what language and graphics library you are making the game with (eg. C++ and OpenGL) or what SDK you are using (eg. Unreal SDK [UDK] ).
Learning C++ and fairly advanced use of DirectX in 2 weeks? Sorry, it's just not possible. Surely you could speak to your tutor about this "personal problem" and come up with something that would suit both of you?
What is the problem that you are having? You say on line 57, "this doesn't work". What bit doesn't work? What is exactly the problem? What is it meant to do?
Couldn't you use a switch instead of having all of those if statements? I'm sure they will be an even better method than that. Do you actually need the lower case bit? Or could 'z' and 'Z' be the same? If so, then you just need one line to capitalize it before you check which letter it is. Check this out: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread100207.html
You didn't see the AEGON masters' tennis the other day did you, jimkarter1? They had an exhibition match with some of the old legends of tennis and they were doing some amazing trick shots and other such funny things :D
We won't write your code for you. It's your homework, not ours. Show us some of your code and we can help you if you have problems. But don't think that we will do your hard work. These tasks are designed for you to learn. You won't learn anything if we give you the code.
