Miloping

Mrs Stevens and I have been hanging out in the Chandara resort in Thailand for the past few days. It is a tranquil location, our room consists of a lounge, kitchen, giant bed, large bathroom with a massive bath, and a balcony with two deck chairs and a swimming pool. Everything is either in a nice stone or a dark wood, and our room is located near all the resort facilities.

Python has become somewhat of a hobby of mine during the weekends. So I was very excited to hear about pyday. I took this opportunity to participate and eventually submitted “G Underground”. “G” is a character I made up in university when I was playing around with c and the curses library. Since I only had ascii to work with, I chose a letter to represent the hero of the quest, the letter “G”, battling it out against letter “T”s (Trolls) in a alphanumeric landscape.

Fast forward a few years and I have not done that much game programming, except the occasional pyweek . I have been working as a professional programmer and these challenges always provide me with many opportunities to learn new things.

Since it was an individual competition I got to choose an different aspect of game programming.
