The only thing still confusing me is the creating of instances (i know you can type say shot.bullet() to create an instance of shot named bullet, but... iunno it's hard to explain my confusion), which i'm sure I'll get to in the pygame portion of learning.
Oh, and how to import pygame.
Don't know how to do that.

You type this at the top of your file (everything after the # is ignored by Python, that's a comment):

Code: [Select]

import pygame # import the pygame module

pygame.init() # initialize it (this must be done, but this only is the case for pygame, not in general for every library)

I've heard that only works if pygame is in the same folder as the source of your project.

No, it also has a "search path" (basically a directory it will check afterwords), where pygame is installed.

[Dusty]

Yeah, but when I said 'import pygame' (the only line in the code, if it matters), python had a fit, or the window just closed really fast.

You need to install it first

[Orpheon]

Try adding "while True: pass" at the end.
The whole thing should hang, but you should be able to read an error, if there is any.

How far is the project complete, percentage style?

How far is the project complete, percentage style?

~20%. +- 19%.

Well, not to tell you guys how to do your job, but when the whole thing'd be like, 80% done, you should probably notify people in Mods so they can stop fidgeting with their pirated game maker 8.0s and start learning some other language so they can start mod the new, better version.

Python.

Suddenly people think PyGG2 is a good idea.

I should work on my GML interpreter...

Python is a free programming language, so I'm not so sure if transition will be a problem unless you want to invest in an expensive python ide (if one really exists, nightcracker/orpheon have been using notepad ++)

Everyone is welcome to pitch in in development, you know, although I haven't done jack

In the beginning we have yes, but we've switched mostly to Komodo Edit (which is also free) because it allowed us to give a better overview of the project and it's files.

And about modding, I think we are going to try and make some secure modding model, which allows you to automatically play on modded servers without exposing your system to any risk.

Secure model or not, we can still allow modding as it is now without any problem, so yeah.
Automatically downloading is for a feature that doesn't ~have~to be from the start, we can always add it at the end.

Maybe that's because it's a good idea?....

We've already been telling to most modders informally that learning Python would be a good idea, if only to try to attract more PyGG2 devs.
But yeah, we'll do it officially as soon as it's clear that PyGG2 will replace gg2 soon.
