| PolarPanda | So... I'm a guy who's barely starting to learn programming... Did I find a good place to start, or are you guys too advanced already? | 19:49 |
|---|---|---|
| PolarPanda | Judging by how extensive your wiki is, apparently I'm a couple of years too late. | 19:51 |
| PolarPanda | Sad. | 19:51 |
| PolarPanda | :( | 19:51 |
| ezod | PolarPanda: hi | 19:52 |
| PolarPanda | Hello. ^_^ | 19:52 |
| ezod | yes, you're a couple years too late, but maybe not why you think | 19:52 |
| PolarPanda | O.o | 19:52 |
| ezod | there hasn't been much (any) activity on this project in over a year | 19:52 |
| PolarPanda | Oh... Sad.. | 19:53 |
| PolarPanda | It looked like a fun project. | 19:53 |
| ezod | if you're looking to contribute to any open source project though, you should probably have a reasonable handle on programming already | 19:53 |
| PolarPanda | Well, thanks for telling me this. | 19:53 |
| ezod | i.e. by working on your own projects first | 19:53 |
| PolarPanda | My problem is, the perfect game I have in mind has already been created. :P | 19:54 |
| PolarPanda | But yeah, I guess you're right. | 19:54 |
| ezod | open source developers are helpful and often willing to mentor | 19:55 |
| ezod | but they'll expect a certain base of knowledge that most people learn on their own (or in school perhaps) | 19:55 |
| PolarPanda | Yeah, I know... I'm gonna study game development, but I still have a year left in highschool... | 19:56 |
| ezod | tons of great tutorials online | 19:56 |
| PolarPanda | Yeah, I'm aware | 19:56 |
| PolarPanda | I'm just lazy. :P | 19:56 |
| ezod | do you have a language in mind? | 19:56 |
| PolarPanda | Well, I'm currently learning Python | 19:56 |
| ezod | perfect choice ;) | 19:56 |
| PolarPanda | the tutorial was easy, it was widely documented and I actually understood the code | 19:57 |
| ezod | dead easy to learn, and tons of libraries available | 19:57 |
| ezod | i do most of my own coding in python | 19:57 |
| PolarPanda | I quite like it, although I was thinking of changing to C++ since most of the projects I'm interested in are written in C++... | 19:58 |
| ezod | c++ is a steeper curve if you don't already know c | 19:58 |
| PolarPanda | hmmm... | 19:58 |
| PolarPanda | sad. | 19:58 |
| PolarPanda | Meh, I guess I'll stick with Python until I know what I'm doing well enough. :P | 19:59 |
| ezod | recommendation | 19:59 |
| ezod | http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html | 19:59 |
| tpb | Title: 3. Data model Python v2.7.2 documentation (at docs.python.org) | 19:59 |
| ezod | ^ get to know that | 19:59 |
| ezod | it seems to be the most important thing that tutorials gloss over | 19:59 |
| PolarPanda | Thanks a lot. ^_^ | 20:00 |
| ezod | it's a lot to take in at first but just know that it's there | 20:00 |
