Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Great stuff Jason, the idea is that you learn how to program games in python. Once you've done that I'll be glad to play your blackjack, football game and I would like a cricket game and a rugby game as well please Jason.

Re: [Audyssey] help with answer.
Michael, not to sound rude, but have you ever considered looking at the documentation? Its really freaking me out, and not that, your questions are driving me nuts, and I'm sure others. Not to offend you, but this question is pointless in my opinion. Shall I tell you the answer? How many buttons it says on the documentation or more. And if your looking for the best one, try the Philips retractible 2909. I mean, ok, I will say what I am saying to you in a nicer way. Now, yes this list is for gaming, but not to ask obvious questions. I understand you want to no some things, but you can easily type on the internet, what is the best flyte controler? The reason I said that some of your questions seem pointless is because they are extremely obvious and you don't have to wait for hours, because its all in the documentation. As I was saying, I no that your curious, but sometimes, you can't say some things. For an example. I like Thomas's games. Lets say if I was on a sighted forom. Some mate made a game, then I said, I don't like your game, go where you want to go. I can't say that. Just remember this fraze. Think about what you are saying. For an example, Hello, I can't land, any tips? I will be glad to answer questions like that. Sorry if this sounds rude to you, and to the other list members, but I hope you understand. Also, I no your inttention is not to annoy people, its to ask questions. Just ask really hard questions, not simple questions.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi Milos, Well, the book isn't ready yet, but some of the sample games are. For example, some sample games I have completed is Guess the Number, Blackjack, and Number Stumper. All very simple games from a programming standpoint. In addition to that I have some games in the works like Oregon Trail and Dungeon which I am porting from Apple Basic to Python 2.6. Both are favorite text adventures from my childhood. So give me a couple of days to write the documentation for the games, and I'll start uploading them to the website. It shouldn't take to long to write up a readme file for each game. Although, with Thanksgiving coming up I might not get to it until the weekend. As for the Python docs I understand. While they are free and pretty in depth the problem I found with them is the authors don't give realistic examples. If someone wants to show off the Python random class, for example, a simple Guess the Number game does more to show off the use of the randrange() function than selecting from a list of fruits as it gives the person something to actually play with that is entertaining while teaching him/her valuable lessons in Python programming.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi Bryan, Oh, the formatting isn't too bad once you get use to it. Yeah,you have to remember to do it, but it is no worse than formatting code in any other programming language. You can use tabs or you can use spaces to align text. Personally, I go for spacing as it makes aligning things easier to remember. For example, the body of a function would be indented four spaces like this. def hello_world(): print Hello world!\n #End function As you can see here the print statement is indented four spaces where the function definition itself is not indented. This is actually pretty par for any programming language, and I guess I have been programming so long now indenting code by four spaces is, well, like second nature to me. I'd imagine after you get use to it indenting code will become that wway for you too. Cheers! On 11/23/10, Bryan Mckinnish bryan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. I would be interested as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi, Yes. All games come in source code format. In fact, none of them have been compiled, because with Python programs you don't actually have to compile them. You can just run them in the Python interpreter like python blackjack.py and run it from raw source. No compiling etc necessary.The advantage of leaving them in source format like that rather than building an executable using py2exe is that the same game can be run on Mac, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, your Apple IPhone, etc as is. I'd imagine the games might even run on the Braille Plus notetakers since they have Python built into the notetaker.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi Jason, Well, I certainly could write a football and baseball game in Python, but I'd probably want to use PyGame for that so I could include sounds, music, etc. Right now I am focusing on simple text based games to get people interested in programming simple games before focusing on more advanced topics such as PyGame.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi, I haven't had a chance to upload the games yet. I'm looking at uploading sometime this weekend after the holiday stuff settles down. They'll be on my free games page. As far as the Python interpreter goes you can download a copy for your platform from http://www.python.org and the current stable release is Python 2.7. Although, I am still using 2.6 do to the fact a number of Python modules such as PyGame haven't been updated for 2.7 yet. As far as accessibility goes it is a simple commandline program. If your screen reader can handle the Windows command prompt then python is accessible. Just run a command like c:\python26\python blackjack.py to run a game like Blackjack from raw source, or associate *.py files with python.exe in Windows Explorer to run them by clicking on them.

Re: [Audyssey] Free Python Sample Games
Hi, No. As I have said before these are, simple, text based games, written for the purpose of getting new programmers into programming console based games using standard input and output via print and raw_input. Things like PyGame which is required for event driven input, sounds, music, flashy graphics, is not for a beginning programmer. Mind you it is not hard but it is a lot more involved and you can't learn to program by trying to create Shades of Doom or Troopenum on your first day of class. The purpose here is to start simply and work our way up to the live action games with all the bells and wistles we want.
