Alright, well orientation for my Case game design class is tomorrow, and I've been stocking up on graphics and sound libraries, source code for useful little programs, and apps and IDEs for developing things. We have to be proficient in one major language, such as C/C++, Java, Python, etc. I took a C++ class already, so I meet the prerequisites of the program. I have the Visual Studio 2005 C++ Express Edition, which we used almost exclusively in the C++ class.

I have the book "Dive Into Python" by Mark Pilgrim, and I'd like to learn Python too, as a secondary language. I've got the C++ aspect pretty well covered, but I need some suggestions, tool/utility- and source code/library-wise for Python. I'll be developing on Windows machines for the extent of the class.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good libraries, source code examples, utilities/apps/IDEs, or anything of that nature for either C++ or Python? I'd love some advice or suggestions, so don't hesitate to drop me an email at ck [dot] bitninja [at] gmail [dot] com or leave a comment on this post. Thanks a million!

Yep, that's right, I'm taking a game design class at Case Western. Should be great fun. I took an honors intro to C++ class there last summer, and this is the next step up. I and my classmates get to work in the state-of-the-art virtual worlds lab built specifically for this purpose! :) Orientation is Sunday, and class starts Monday. It goes for three weeks and then I'm done! Voila!

Good times.

bitninja out!
