Online Python Editor for Pokitto!

[Hanski]

Updated the entry.

[Pharap]

I was intending to write something quick and simple to enter but I just ran into too many issues.

No enums? Fine, I can live with having to resort to using bare integers.
Can’t use floats? Ok, I know how to write fixed point types.
Operator overloading not working for * and /…
Having to write Vector.multiply everywhere is just too tedious.

I know you guys worked hard on the environment and the editor,
but there’s just one too many limitations for me.

Camon @Pharap, just a little entry. To share some fun. The more we are the best will be. Bat computer will take in consideration your exit from comfort zone ;l

I think that’s as fair a judgement as any other. We understand (or at least I do)

[Pharap]

just a little entry

I’m probably not going to have time in the next 2 days.
I can’t write Python as fast as languages I’m used to because I have to keep stopping to check the docs.

Also I’d have to think of a new game to write.
I was orignally going to write Asteroids,
but without floats or fixed points with operators that’s going to be pretty difficult (or at least tedious) to do.

My only other idea is Noughts & Crosses, but that’s far too simple for a decent contest entry,
and it would probably be pretty boring to write anyway.

For the record I’m comfortable writing Python code.
It’s the number of extra obstacles that cropped up that wore away at me.

Vector.multiply

Maybe you could change the name of the class to ‘v’ and the member function to ‘m’ so that you only have to type ‘v.m’. That will save you some time! Seriously though, I understand it but I would have liked to see your entry! I guess we all will have to wait until the next assembly competition!

@Pharap, yes, if you do it in a meticulous way (and you do everything in a meticulous way, which is admirable)

I had to deal with “vector maths” also with Pyrates! How else do you think wind direction and ship direction can be taken into account?

Solution was just a simple ship unit vector vs. wind unit vector matrix table. Could easily be implemented for Asteroids-type game.Then just use vx an vy components from there on.

You know there’s autocomplete with Ctrl+space? No need to keep names short.

Single-letter identifiers are evil and should be avoided. (With a few small exceptions.)

The issue isn’t the time taken to type it (I have no problem with long identifiers),
it’s the reduced readability of the resulting expressions.

With operators you can write something like:

resultVector = (position + ((direction * speed) / mass))

Without them it becomes:

resultVector = Vector.add(position, Vector.divide(Vector.multiply(direction, speed), mass))

Which is much less natural.

Admitedly it’s only the multiplication and division operators that are missing,
but that’s still one operator and two functions for the example snippet.

I would have liked to see your entry!

This is as far as I got:

It was never going to be anything particularly impressive.
(And there’s no point in writing a C++ version because there’s already an Asteroids game for Pokitto.)

yes, if you do it in a meticulous way

I can’t not do it in a ‘meticulous’ way.
If I write it in a messy way I won’t be able to read it if I ever look at it again.

I’ve got quite a lot of old projects like that - they do some cool stuff but I can’t make sense of half the code.
With my newer, better organised approach I can still make sense of the code even after having forgotten how it works and/or having not touched it in over a year.

How else do you think wind direction and ship direction can be taken into account?

People who don’t know about vectors or don’t use vectors tend to handle the x and y components separately,
which works, but doubles the (source) code size and is a pain to work with.

I finally managed to complete my entry.

[jonne]

Holy sh…

wowzaaa!

Edit: Batcomputer and @Hanski are going to have to really deliberate over all these high quality entries.

[Hanski]

I finally managed to complete my entry.

Just in time Looks very nice and is a fresh genre in this competition.

[jonne]

@Hanski , it is evident the decision is not going to be easy and that the great efforts that people have gone through to make the entries deserve respect.

What do you say, should we do a live stream / recorded video conference where we load and test every competition entry? I can run a wire to the Batcomputer, it has a Bathernet connection.

[Hanski]

I agree, that they certainly have deserved it. Really great entries all
I just have not done anything like that before (public video in foreign language ), so I cannot promise 100%, but I am willing to try. Let’s see how it goes.
For sure, every entry is having comments one way or another!

Edit: I prefer recorded video, so we have a chance to edit it before publishing.

[torbuntu]

Oh my goodness it is like a code/app review now I’m nervous and excited!

[jonne]

Oh my goodness it is like a code/app review

Of course its a review. In fact, we will look at thinks like tidiness and commenting of source, as well as suitable variable names. It will be brutal.

[torbuntu]

I deserve the most brutal sadly I already forgot what my code mostly looks like. I’m sure the variable names will be cringe worthy.
This is the largest python project I’ve ever done though.

[bl_ackrain]

i will finish my game tomorrow just before the dead line
i hope you will enjoy it

[jonne]

Ooooh, you have to STOP this.

First ScummPy and now Commander PyKeen.

NOTE, “by 30th” means you can send your entry ON 30th. Sorry for saying it unclearly.

It is NOT so serious. On sunday the 31st I intend to start feeding the entries into the Batcomputer. I need time to conver the Python into punchcards.
