Saluk, python tut?

I know i’ve asked this many times, but you keep changing yoru hsot or updating your site. Where is it?

Pooba

You mean the tutorial about Big World which Saluk promissed, Pooba? :-?

No, he means the introduction to python that saluk wrote.

Cool, where can I find that? :stuck_out_tongue: I really want to learn python for making games in blender. But I don’t understand the python scripting. :frowning:

I don’t have it anymore. It was on my iptic site, and I didn’t have a backup when iptic went down :frowning:

I’ve been wanting to write another one, but havent had time. Im thinking I’ll teach someone on chat, save the logs, and use those to help me write a better tut. The old one I had sort of got you started, but not enough to where it was easy to explore the rest of it on your own. It was like showing someone learning to act how to memorize lines, and then stopping.

This is my next project, and has been for some time hehe, we’ll see when I can start it.

As for bigworld, I’ll release it when I’m happy with it, but I’m constantly modifying it and it would be hard to upkeep it for the community. It’s still very much oriented to our game, and would be of little use to most of you in it’s current state without quite extensive documentation (which takes a lot of time).

I still want to release it, but it’s just not going to happen for a while :slight_smile:

As for learning python, I tought myself the basics in a weekend through the use of the tutorial docs at www.python.org, and the gamelogic api reference from NaN (THe one I used isn’t around, but this one is similar: http://www.blender.org/modules/documentation/gamelogic.pdf)
The easiest way to learn I think is to find a goal, maybe something you would normally use logic bricks for, and try to accomplish it in a python script rather than using logic bricks. Then when you are reading the documentation you can be more focused and see what you’re looking for. If you run into problems, you can post on here or in the python forums and get more targeted learning than a broad tutorial would give you. Good luck python-blender scholars:)

here i wrote one tonite…

i hope it is helpful =) i will make another one this week that goes over creating something more useful with python, maybe a simple save/load, maybe or a compass

saluk, i remember your tute and it was my first intro to python with blender :slight_smile: thanks for that, sucks you didnt have backup though, it was very helpful =(
i too learned off the tutorial docs, theyre very useful to start with

:o :o Yeah, Awesome tutorial. Blengine can you write more of these tutorials. Like following objects or something liek that. :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley:
