Python. Not you Saint

Yeah anyway, I've spent tonight looking for a scripting language to use apart from perl (because regex makes me dizzy) and I think I have found it. Python is by far the easiest language I have learnt since perl, and I am starting to see that it is a rather powerful one too. For anyone interested:

http://honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/

Is a good beginners tutorial in python, and before you ask yes it is possible to make games with it:

http://www.pygame.org/news.html

And yes it is capable of making an MMORPG. Theres even an OpenGL library floating around for it somewhere. Any questions, just ask

I hope some of you give it a go, you wont regret it.

Well now that I have mastered VB (Visual Basics) thanks to my computer programming class, and summer is aroudn the corner and I will be starting C/++ next year and I might start learning python, this post just got me back into thinking about it too, since I have downloaded python atleast six months ago.

Python is indeed a fun scripting language experience.

Don't forget to list the main website! It's at http://www.python.org.

Isn't Python like a hella old programming language?

MisterPoppet · 05-31-2006, 06:58 AM

Yes, but a good one. It's very flexible with anything you want to do.

My personal favorite though is Ruby. OO at it's best!

I've been interested in python for a while. Are there any MMO's out there made in python?

For those of you that already know the basics of how programming work's,

http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-python.php

That link is a quick run down of the language, it's what I used to learn the basics of python, but if you are not familiar with programming refer to my first post

Python is younger than C++, and C++ is still a hugely popular language. So why judge a language by how old it is?
