supposedly it can make Multi player scratc games? What is it

Well, now you go further into the realm of programming.

Scratch is a programming language, right?
So is python, but you write code with it, and it can connect to Scratch.

HOWEVER, it is totally separate from Scratch. If I write some code:

Code:

print "hello world"

It'll print, and it can be much more powerful than that.

That's just a tiny introduction...

Python is large, text-based programming language far more advanced than Scratch.

Python is what the people said above me. smile Emerald is written in Python. smile

Python is a huge and highly powerful programming language that helps u to cr8 nice programs

midnightleopard · 2009-12-14 20:28:32

can it create games?

Oh most definetely! Much more complex games than Scratch, for sure!

NOTE: Please don't post mindlessly. I mean, every other post than me explains what I already explained. I don't mean to sound like a moderator or anything( tongue ) but add on, don't just repeat....

Okay, I wont ^_^

Yes, but games are much more hard to create. Python isn't meant to make games but with a lot of knowledge and time, you can create a very complex game.

A very fun game made in PyGame is Netrek ( PyGame: http://netrek.org/downloads/linux-not-cow.php/ Main: http://netrek.org/ ) Though Netrek for PyGame is still in huge development, it's pretty nice, I'm helping with Beta-Testing for it. big_smile

Download.

a good summary of python is this: it ain't scratch. python is a HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. a programming language is what they make video games like for the ds and stuff out of. a programming language is what makes a computer RUN and actually work: here is a program that displays text:
print "hello world"

it runs so fast that you can't see it, unless you slow it down. (sorry i don't know how to do that)

to make a simple bat-and-ball game, you would need about 50-60 lines of code. ouch

but don't let that discourage you. python is a very easy language to learn. here is a link to the python website:
http://www.python.org/

hope this helps! smile

An expanded version of Hidas's Hello World program is:

Code:

print "Hello World!"
raw_input("Press the enter key to exit.")

That will allow you to see what was printed. big_smile

Morphed · 2009-12-27 13:21:11

Yes....If any of you have Linux Software you can get Python from the Apps list. You can also dowlnoad it here: http://www.python.org/download/

big_smile Scratch On!

Or just this:

Code:

raw_input("Hello World")

which is equivelant to

C wrote:
int main() {
printf("Hello world");
scanf();
}

and

M30W wrote:
print Hello World!

see, M30W will be much easier eventually.(it says emerald on the thread atm)

it is very possible. It has differant coding to creating game or programs. a very advanced scratch and very comlicated but is sepertat from scatch. I have not used it but it looks hard. Differant type of programing to scratch.

Magnie · 2009-12-28 10:59:08

cds: M30W isn't out yet! yikes tongue And M30W will be like Scratch, with sprites, not plain text. wink

I think thats not technicaly true, they can program a game in just pure code, but what they sometimes do is, they program an engine in the programing language, then use the engine to make the game, it is a lot more helpful to see what youe designing.
Iv watched some how things are made type videos on youtube and places like that.
