I am just new to python programing
welcome. what other programming experience do you have? What version of
python? and what OS?
would like some help developing a program for "flow reading" What I
would like the program to do is use any .txt file like micorsoft word
.txt file and flow the words across the screen one at time until the
file is come to the end. I would also like to control the rate (time)
of flow.
Do you have any experience developing GUI applications?
Do you have any experience with reading files?
I would start simple, and add pieces one at a time. Pseudo code:
open the file
grab a line
split it (by default this will give you a list of "words" - meaning
text strings that are separated from one another by
whitespace)
write a word to the console (terminal)
sleep for a short time
repeat for each word in the list
repeat for each line in the file.
Then take a look at the various GUI packages that have a Python version.
tkinter comes with the Python distribution.
