CODE
I am new to programming, which by inference means I started late with it. Everyone I've known who does any of this has been doing it since they were kids. I was drawing or stomping around in creeks at the time, so I've had to make peace with coming to it now. I was grabbed first by the concept of programming; you are able to interface with these machines on a more "fundamental" level. Through understanding these machines we can interface more closely, if not directly with the reality of this self contained universe. We are the gods here; we create infinite complexity out of a very few simple rules. My goal getting into this was to just become fluent to the point that I could understand it's application. The barrier is not as big as you might assume.
Programs that actually work on your on web browser on your own (or someone else's) computer.
Version 1.0
The following programs were built with Pygame and a build of PyObjC
Hip Priest is a non-game. I basically just followed the tutorial at Learning PYthon made my own sprites, and tweaked some variables. It is very VERY uninteresting in it's own right, but it suggestest many possibilities for future projects. VIDEO>>>
The following programs were built using a Graphics Engine provided by the excellent book that I have been learning Python from. You will need to download the Graphics Engine and place it in your Python Directory. Then you will be able to run the following programs.
The following source codes all require a running version of Python and a Unix Terminal. To run any of them simply mount the directory the files were downloaded to 'cd [directory name]' and then simply type 'python [program name]'. That should do the trick.
MuMu a program that would ideally solve the MU Puzzle. Unfortunately, I am not persently that smart.
Acronymizer a simple program for the simple minded. Will generate acronyms from user input.
Cosmic Trip Planner a program that will tell you the distance away and the ammount of time required to reach various cosmic and terrestrial destinations. Very useful. I'm talking to NASA.
Cipherizer a nifty program that allows you to encode and decode secret messages to your firends and enemies. Requires both Encoder and Decoder to run.
The World God a penultimate simulator.
A site that posits a number (196 to be exact) of mathematical and programming challenges, for anyone who feels up to it to take a crack.
