New to forums. Hi! and a question?

@Captain Oblivion

I’d just like to mention that I learned python from BGE-specific tutorials, back in the day, and I’d like to think I’m not bad at it (I had a bit of a C background, but I hadn’t gone far with that)
Unfortunately, with the new API, pretty much every BGE python tutorial is outdated, and only useful in the general theory they teach. I don’t know how many up-to-date BGE python tutorials there are out there, but I intend to write one in the near future.

Logic bricks, while decent for the most basic tasks, simply cannot do nearly as much as python, and even the things they can do (movement, animation, etc) are severely limited- by doing the same things in python you get far more control over every detail. Logic bricks are the “easy way out”, both in that there’s less effort in using them, and that you will run into a wall of limitation if you use just logic.

I did a similar thing, and I consider myself quite fluent in BGE specific python. You can still use BGE specific tutorials for python, I believe, and just improvise whenever you run into a deprecation warning, as indicated by the console window (it will tell you what to use instead in almost every case).

Python allows for much more complex interactions of objects than logic bricks. For example, with logic bricks you can track to a fixed target object, but with python you can find the closest enemy object and track to that chosen object.

In any case, I very highly recommend tutorialsforblender3d.com. It features documentation on all logic bricks and BGE python functions, as well as exampels of almost every BGE concept that yo’ll want.
