Hi
I'm whipping up this quick chessBoard data structure in Python, but I think my C/Java habits are tripping me somehow.
The objects aren't linking up correctly,and are giving a roll of errors : I have a chessGame class to contain the chessBoard.
I'll do the chessPiece class once this works.
It should be simple

Here is the big chessGame class: That now, just creates the chessboard, and has the main code

import chessBoard

class chessGame:
    def __init__(self):
        print("\n\n.........")
        c=chessBoard()


print('chess main')

chessGame()

Select all Open in new window

Here is the chessBoard:

class chessBoard:

    def __init__(self):

        self.pieces=[]

        #white pawns
        for i in range(0,9):
            print(i)

Select all Open in new window

There are missing lines, but once this simple structure works, I'll be set

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

Hi
For my Python RTS / MOBA server,

I am at a decision where I should either make a class for reading UDP activity updates from the clients over TCP activity ( a failsafe)
Should I have a UDPlistener class and a TCPlistener class?
or should I have a packetListener class with a UDPlisten method and  also, a TCPlisten method? - that are each made into Threads?
I think an all-in-one approach would make linking into the game smoother?

both would work, but which would look best? Is Python better suited to one?

Thanks

Hi
I am not certain if League of Legends is an RTS type network server, or an FPS? The player movements are well spaced out, so I'd think RTS

In Summoner's rift, is it only 5 people/champions playing? Is that the practical limit on players, in most network games?

If I port my working Java RTS server that I finished a little while ago to Python, could I expect any performance shift? It is TCP messaging, with UDP duplicates sent afterwards for speed.

Thanks

Hi
My Python RTS server reboot from my finished Java one needs some clarifications.

The example networking code at this Python page doesn't work, when it clearly should, code below

here

The line with bind() is where it raises exceptions and it's baffling me! - cut and paste!
My code that won't compile is...

import socket, sys


if __name__ == "__main__":

    print('__main__')
    port_num=1234

    try:


        # Create a TCP/IP socket
        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

        # Bind the socket to the port
        server_address = ('localhost', port_num)
        print ('starting up on %s port %s', server_address)
        sock.bind(server_address)

    except:
        print('Error')
        exit()

Select all Open in new window

Did I miss a step in pyCharm settings?

Thanks

Hi
All the best modern games are pseudo 3D, like League of legends and Starcraft 2.

Is it pseudo 3d? - It is 2D images used smartly at correct locations?

How do Starcraft 2 and League of Legends achieve their 3D feel?

Would Python be able to do decent game-play FPS & updates in time with my client networking class?
MIT and everyone is teaching CS100 in Python, and I've seen some promising 2D demos.
Thanks

Hi

I've been playing League of Legends with no problems,
and all of a sudden it gets into this 'Attempting to reconnect' mode at the re-spawn altar after my champion gets served
and the game is essentially locked and I cant move my primary dude. I can move the camera, but not my champion.

Is that something I did wrong in my game-play?

Thanks

Hi

If I put my keyboard listening in pygame in my drawing/game loop, it obviously won't be checked constantly.
I must obviously have a Thread listening for keyboard input, mouse movement to play my game and update internal game variables.


Is this just a new class I must make with two methods each to listen to pygame keyboard/mouse activity. Case closed?


Thanks

Hi

Someone has pics for me on photo bucket.
Do I have to pay? it seems so.

Is this a legit site? I am sick of scams

Thanks

Hi

If I'd like to make a platform game like Contra,

Are there any acceptably decent animated GIF's somewhere out there for me to choose from?
or some adequate transparent ones for me to do alpha coding with? Something close to a predator, an alien, Arnold, terminator, Robocop, scorpion, rancor! tauntaun, ewok gungan

What do most coders use for these place-holders?

Thanks

Hi

I have had my cards hacked enough times to get really annoyed.
I receive balance sheets with card purchases in Rhode Island, or California, and I live in NC !

I paid with Paypal today, which means, my card was never exposed to direct hackers, I think.
Is that correct? VISA always refunds these fraudulent charges ( >$5,000, total, one time, over a few months)
Do hackers steal my paypal login?
Must I always do (card) online payments with paypal? I'm sick of cancelling cards for safety's sake
Thanks

the requirements for the game is :

a single player playing against the computer.
The computer automatically generates its fleet locations
The single player enters via keyboard the location of her or his fleet.
Fleet components:
Battleship: 5 spaces (1 battleship)
Crusier: 4 spaces (1 cruiser)
Submarine: 3 spaces (1 submarine)
Destroyer: 2 spaces (1 destroyer)
Trawlers/spy ships: 1 space each (5 trawlers)
The board size: 10 spaces x 10 spaces
The human player starts by guessing a location. If a miss, the computer tells the user it was a miss. If a hit, the computer tells the user it was a hit. If a hit sinks a ship, that ship type is identified. The user's shot display is updated with the location of the hit and/or miss.
Both the user's screen and the user's guess screens are displayed for the user and updated during game play.
The game continues, alternating "shots" on the opposing fleet.
The game is over when either the user's or the computer's fleet is totally sunk.
User interface requirements:
two fleet screen matrixes
User's fleet positions
user's shot record (and hit/miss pattern)
a running count of number of shots, number of hits, and number of misses.
May be either text-based or GUI
Program requirements:
All course standards met, to include internal documentation
All variables validated and no out of range errors experienced during gameplay
method calls, parameter passing and returns to main(), properly prototyped and called.
