Python programming language

Discuss the programming language Python. You can also talk about Pygame because it runs on Python. Feel free to ask questions, share code and ideas.

Hi, I'm a python beginner, but learning!

I feel like python is a good 1st “real” programming language to learn b/c it is very simple. Also the parallels to scratch are very obvious (for example lists=lists, the “print()” function= the “say” block, etc.)

However, one problem I've had transitioning to a text programming language is I generate a lot of errors with simple typos or where I type a command slightly wrong (ie I always forgot the : after the if block and use front slashes instead of backslashes).

What about you?

I write reddit bots in Python.

Such a waste of talent.

I know the basics but never really used it

maybe I should try writing a django server app, maybe a RPG of sorts.

Scratcher since 2008.

Best shell scripting language. All the convenience of bash with ten times the power.

I'm making a (very short) text-based adventure game in it and saving/loading is kinda hard! I have an idea, though.

I'm not too familiar with file I/O in Python, but it shouldn't be that hard to just read/write your save data from a file, should it? You could even use a simple text file if you didn't feel comfortable writing plain bytes.

I made a game in scratch called Magnetix, and when I make Magnetix 2, It will be in python.

If you have Python, then you need to get Blender. It is a free 3D modeling tool, and you can create 3D games with it with Python. It is really cool.

I know how to display text, and open a browser. That's it

All I know is:

file_to_open = open("file.txt", "r")
file_to_write_to = open("file.txt", "w")
file_to_write("Hello, world!")
file_to_open.close()
file_to_write.close()

Get used to it: I still make typos like that after several years of Python coding.

I once asked a professional, bearded programmer, “Do you still make these kinds of mistakes?”

“Oh yes…”

I even grab the wrong scratch blocks still

I've been listening to…
Ogre Battle // Queen // Queen II // Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal
Orion // Metallica // Master of Puppets // Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Instrumental
Damage Inc. // Metallica// Master of Puppets // Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal
Snow (Hey Oh) // Red Hot Chilli Peppers // Snow (Hey Oh) // Soft Rock, Acoustic
Who Wants To Live Forever // Queen // A Kind of Magic // Power Ballad, Soft Rock
I suggest you listen to…
For a influential playlist: Damage Inc and Orion. Both of these songs are part of the album that revolutionized heavy and thrash metal forever.

Yes, yes it is.

I am making a 3d zombie survival game called swarm in python.

also does anyone know if pygame is working for me? Everytime I add a script like “import pygame” it gives me errors with the note Invalid syntax. It shows a red line on the first > in the script.

print ‘oh why sure I use python’
import turtle
t=turtle.pen()
t.forward(90).
I think scratch really helped me understand some turtle concepts like if, else, and, or, and such so.
