Hm well I believe it was planned to use Box2D as the central library as a start

Since Box2D is written in C++, you are expected to be experienced in C++ programming. Box2D should not be your first C++ programming project. You should be comfortable with compiling, linking, and debugging.

So we agree on C++?

Or has someone tried to port it?

I know it's not what op wanted, but anyone remember /v/idya's mapvoting? That was pretty cool.

What the hell is that?

[trog]

there was a website which you used to vote for the next map, and a little transition map inbetween

at least I think so, wasn't actually here when it was up

[[Royal Gay Penguin Nachos Ibarra Gordita Agave] LC]

Yes, you were taken to a map called vote_lobby and had 30 seconds to vote for the next map. Vindi had something like that going for a short time as well I believe.

And uhh... what does this have to do with the discussion?

I'm taking a Python independent studies course at school, so I basically have 55 minutes every day I could use to build a dedicated server (and present it as my final project).

Although, I'm not looking into doing this on my own.

[Kirtan]

I am also taking Python/C# at school and could use this for my project. It would be great if more people agreed doing this in Python though.

[Saniblues]

You don't necessarily have to do a direct port of the game, you can just start out with the basics (CTF mode and movement, basically every 1.0 build) and work your way up from there.

[Kirtan]

direct port = easier IMO :/

[Dusty]

Yes, well, it's a long time to work on something with little effort to show for it until it's done.

[Orpheon]

I can help for Python.

Actually, I even already started. Though I probably won't be able to compete with 55 min every day of vindi, I could help.

Also, it's much easier to start from the beginning, ignore the networking, make ctf and all the classes work (wihout the HUDs first), and then just add stuff.

The collision system could get a little complicated, people on the #pygame channel recommended me to use rects for collision (also with the wallmask), and not mask.

Speaking of which, what library are we using? Pygame, or something else?
