With the Python libraries, writing a 2D spaceship shoot 'em up (which is what many of the students did) isn't the challenge it once was. The most impressive projects my son has seen are under 700 lines! When I was a kid, that was about the length of a 'Hello, world!' program in COBOL.

Decomposed > He's a T.A. for several professors one of whom has him giving students sit-down reviews of their final projects. I think he's enjoying it. The assignment was to write an animated game in Python.


Glad he's enjoying it, and I hope he is getting paid for it. I won't even pretend to be good enough to write an animated game . . . Although I do have some vague memories of doing a 'space ship shoot em up' sort of game in C for a Macintosh once upon a time . . .Crude and mildly entertaining.

Anyway, good to know everybody is safe and you can keep all that cold and snow up there please.
