Re: Scrolling Battles in Python
Stop going off half cocked Ethin, it makes you look like a moron.
Allot of people are starting to realize that Python might be a better choice, not just Danny and Mason. Why? I'd say it's probably because Libaudioverse Alpha builds started coming out recently and the only thing stopping most people from using Python for audio games in the past was the lack of a decent audio library.
Interest probably started all the way back with Sound RTS, which uses Pygame, and only grew with RS Games and QuentinC's Gameroom, and then NVDA showed up...
This interest is easily evidenced in the uptick in Python related topics within the developer's room in the last year months; and not just Python either, also VB, HSP, PB, ETC. It's obvious that the comments of people like Camlern and Danny, along with the personal experiences of intermediate programmers has led people to find an alternative to BGT, especially now that it hasn't
been updated lately.
I've personally talked to four or five audio game programmers in the last few years, and all of them knew about and considered using Python for their projects, which doesn't even take into account all of the people writing Add-ons for NVDA, so to presume that Mason is copycatting Danny is frankly just fucking Absurd.
Even if he was, since I won't totally discount it, do to how he's straight up lifted ideas from other games before, I can't imagine why it could possibly matter to anyone, it's a programming language, free to all, community supported, easily accessible, what gives you the rite to say who can and can not use it, exactly?
Here's a stupid accusation with no basis in fact for you then, since you seem to love them so much; I bet your just butthurt now that your precious Pure Basic, the coding language for the elite (VIP programmers) only, isn't being used by everyone and there dog anymo
re, so you can't limit who gets to make games since BGT is free now and people are starting to use Python, which is more full featured!
Also, did you even, for a second, stop to think that maybe, just maybe, Danny doesn't give a shit who uses what as long as they don't directly copy his ideas and give him absolutely no credit for using them, you know, like a sane person would, before misguidedly starting a crusade on his behalf?
