I have been told that Python is relatively easy to pick up so I am hoping I won't have too much of a learning curve.<br /><br />Decause, I did not know that anyone else has been working on graphics for the game. I will definitely talk to JT about ideas for the GUI.<br /><br />Thanks guys!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13401915067805535646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295484663712156267.post-32334175065541072312010-09-22T09:38:55.640-07:002010-09-22T09:38:55.640-07:00If you've coded before (it sounds like you hav...If you've coded before (it sounds like you have), Python should be pretty easy to pick up - have you taken a look in the .py files yet? It's more or less executable pseudocode. <br /><br />A few minimal crash courses for folks who know other programming languages:<br /><br />http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_quick_guide.htm<br /><br />(use either that or http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html - I prefer the latter first.)<br /><br />for super-extensiveness, see http://diveintopython.org/, which is... too much to digest before you start this project, but an amazing reference to work through if you really want to learn the language later on.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598380941676945491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295484663712156267.post-23920747492821500262010-09-22T07:55:07.908-07:002010-09-22T07:55:07.908-07:00Pretty Pretty :)
Keep in mind though, (as jlew sa...Pretty Pretty :)<br /><br />Keep in mind though, (as jlew said) you don't want to hardcode an American Currency, as students from all over the world will want to use this program.<br /><br />Something like Platinum/Gold/Silver/Copper, or some other similarly generalized currency would do it, but probably wouldn't fit the context of modern day (Unless you change the activity to "Ye Olde Lemonade Stand"). I'm sure you guys will figure out something.<br /><br />Be sure to talk with JT Mengel, as he has developed some art assets for the game already, and the two of you should collab so as not to recreate too many wheels.<br /><br />Keep up the great work, and I'm excited for Lemonade Stand this quarter to have your Pixel Ninja Skillz.<br />--RemyD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295484663712156267.post-47314412052667959122010-09-22T05:18:09.538-07:002010-09-22T05:18:09.538-07:00Hi Sarah!
Have you looked at GCompris money_cents...Hi Sarah!<br /><br />Have you looked at GCompris money_cents interface for comparison?<br />http://gcompris.net/en-money_cents<br /><br />It presents all the available coins and allows you to click on the ones you want. I'm not sure if that's something that you would want or not, but not having to type is nice :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080395092257355476noreply@blogger.com
