HI where can i download the source?

cheers

I mean, most tutorials don't explain every code, only like ''this we don't gonna explain but just type this'' a book ALWAYS explain all the code, which i like.

You can try this book. Its fairly good and its free (GNU Documentation License):

tinyurl (dot) com (slash) 6c2vbv

You can also buy a hard copy on Lulu (dot) com.

The book teaches you about python and computer science in general. Its very good for a free book I think.

[lakristianla]

Ok, yeah i'm following some several tutorials, helps alot, but it would be great with a book to reffer to, since it often explains more.

[lakristianla]

Can you reffer to any python, vpython, vidle, py-game or what it's called Books?

[MNICY]

I didn't use any books to learn it.. I just used tutorials on the Internet. There are allot of high quality tutorials. Not as in depth as a book, but if you have basic programming experience then you should be able to get by.

[ElementalTJ]

Hey hey! You're an inspiration. I'ma make a game, now. :P

[MNICY]

sweet! :)

What kind of game?

[ElementalTJ]

I'm hoping for a platformer. Haha.

[ElementalTJ]

And so far... It's going pretty good! I just need it to run a wee bit more smooth, you know? I use decimal variables for the gravity and friction but the X and Y translates into whole numbers so it's kinda not smooth... You know?

[MNICY]

are you using a 2d array for your screen/world "map" thing?

[ElementalTJ]

Nope. I don't have a map yet. Everything is working smooth, now. I just need to figure collisions. They're hard. :]

[MNICY]

if you use a 2d array, you can just base your collisions on the tiles.

Of course, that means they will not be as accurate as pixle collisions, but are much easier.....

[MNICY]

youtube is being silly about posting comments, i will send you a message.

[ElementalTJ]

Gah. Your code confuses me.

[MNICY]

what part confuses you? :(

[ElementalTJ]

Idk. I guess the whole thing. I haven't tried anything yet, though. I'm sorry. Been busy with other stuff. :/

[DagothUrWelcomesYou]

Step aside, Final Fantasy.

[MNICY]

Thank you!

[Fieldgarodie]

MNICY.. You drink? Imagine beheading people when drunk, lol. Imagine banning Chris from Lords by accident when drunk!

How does it feels to be drunk?

[Fieldgarodie]

Very nice, lol.

[qlap10]

2 words: drunken brawling. get drunk then youll get a 30% chance a drunk wants to fight.that would be awesome

[MNICY]

haahhahahahahha. You are awesome.

I may just do it!

[qlap10]

sweet.have you picked any races for the game yet?

[MNICY]

No, not yet. The game is still in very early development. It goes kind of slow when only one person is working on it ;)

Plus i have my life, music, and university to do...

So progress goes very slowly.

I did not work on this game for a month. Then this weekend, i worked on it for about 2 days (4 day weekend for me :D), and did what is in this video.

[PaytonDDawg]

Nice, I'm still looking forward to playing. :)

[MNICY]

That could work! :P

I laid out the towns and coded (the small amount that was required) this in about 12 hours last night. (From 7 pm to 7 am)
