    As he grows as a programmer, it'll give him something to look back on and chuckle about.
    That is just it though. Hiding one's code is completely counterproductive to the goal of improving as a programmer.

    Take this for example: python py2app pygame errors, very confusing
    Half of his code for this game is written and executed in the global namespace and is rampant with global variables; his images are reloaded every time he uses them; he has basic errors like always using ifs when elifs are indicated and overall redundant logic. But instead of fixing all of these things he is more worried about turning his program into an app and hiding his code. All of these problems will never be corrected with this attitude.

    Finding another thread with code that you consider poorly written and then parading it out here does not make you look clever, only childish. For better or worse. this is a thread about hiding source code. This is not a soap box for you to throw out general criticisms against this guy. I can't help but notice that for someone so concerned about the OP's growth, you failed to even comment on the thread you linked. That leads me to believe that you're more interested in being right than actually helping him succeed.

    As this thread seems to be on a downward spiral, I'm going to go ahead and close it now.

  2. In Topic: Django vs Pyramid (or others) for my website and education

    Posted 23 May 2013

    Honestly, just pick one and pull the trigger. It's kind of arbitrary. I do know that I've worked professionally in Django shops and have never even heard of a Pyramid shop, but I don't doubt they exist.

    If it is indeed a basic game, why bother? Even pyc can be decompiled by anyone determined enough. Unless you are doing something ground-breaking your gameplay will probably be easily approximated even without your code. I just don't see the point, and honestly nothing annoys me more than people that feel the need to hide their code for trivial projects, because they have commercial aspirations.

    Anyway, just ignore me,

    We will :)

    If the guy wants to hide his code, let him hide his code. Doesn't bother me and it really shouldn't bother you, who cares? As he grows as a programmer, it'll give him something to look back on and chuckle about.

    Have you considered obfuscation?

  5. In Topic: 3D Printers

    Posted 14 May 2013

    So, remember how certain folks said that this can't become about guns... well I'm going to poke the bear.

    The Liberator is a 3D printable gun.

    we have forums for a reason, please use those rather than posting on my profile.
    Clarification:
    My profile wall is not a forum... especially not a Java one.

    Hey atraub, thanks for the add. I've been floating round the python forum for a while.
    I have exams all week though and then next week I can start my Django project! Which means a hell of a lot of forum questions no doubt!
    I saw your tutorial in linked lists, it looked great, I'll get more time to read it later when I'm not so tired :)
