Python Game Engine: Episode 9

[TheGoose91]

Another part coming, or is this abandoned/postponed?

[MiZtrOh]

Very, very soon! I've been working on it quite a bit lately.  It's running really well.

When does the next part come? :p

I was thinking of using Python for fast prototyping and the turn my code into C++

Here is a cite from the PyGame site:

C code is often 10-20 times faster than python code

I says: Ouch!

:/ I've actually never bothered about python because i thought that the code will run slow, but as I sees it now it might be faster to write in Python for testing stuff then translate it to C++ for a game that runs faster.

writing AI in C is pain in ass - you will have to recompile all the time. That's why people invented scritps - to do changes right on flight

[MiZtrOh]

Obviously, compiled languages will be faster than interpreted languages. However, I have yet to see any performance problems that would prevent a Python engine from being a viable solution.

ew gooeys

[MiZtrOh]

So far, I just use pyglet and the Python standard library.  Once I get to implementing 2D physics, I'll be using pymunk as well.

what modules do you use?
