Re: speaking on Ren'Py

Thanks again, PyTom! My talk was about half yours and half mine... about 25 people at the session, very receptive and enthusiastic. I'm attaching my slides (just an abbreviation of yours) and a sample game I showed.

Re: ALICE.NET 1.0 alpha

I'm trying to download from http://www.getalice.net/download/, and getting a "not found" error at http://the-other.endoftheinternet.org/alicedotnet/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/alicenet-10alpha.zip. I'm trying to get it with Bittorrent, but that doesn't seem to be working for me - I'm not...

You mean this year? We're still talking future tense... Penguicon 2010 starts April 30. It would be great to have you there to help me field questions, too!

Re: speaking on Ren'Py

I didn't mean "this is a talk-in-a-box", I meant "this isn't a talk in a box, but that's OK because I never expected or needed that much, just something to start building from". I'll post in May with my results. Don't worry - I've used Python to destroy the solar system in front ...

Re: A timer that counts down on screen

See the Dynamic Displayable chapter (5.6.3) in the tutorial (version 6.10) - an on-screen countdown is right at the beginning.

Re: speaking on Ren'Py

Thank you, PyTom! This is great! I didn't expect a talk-in-a-box, ready to go; but this gives me some great things to work with. Hopefully you'll be seeing some new game-makers from the Michigan/Ohio area in a few months!

Re: speaking on Ren'Py

That's what I use. I'll be revising my presentation towards the end of the month, and I'll post it here once I'm done. PyTom, Help! I'm beginning to panic! I really need to write my talk now - I only have three more weeks until presenting it - and it will be so much better if I can draw on material...

Fantastic! Are there any materials you could share - slide decks or whatnot? (Actually, writing the presentation IN Ren'Py would be much more cool than a slide deck, wouldn't it?)

speaking on Ren'Py

Hi! I'm brand-new to Ren'Py (but old to Python). Being the fearless type, I volunteered to give an introductory presentation on Ren'Py at Penguicon (http://penguicon.org). Penguicon is a combination SF/open-source convention in Michigan - it's the perfect place for Ren'Py, I think, since it's where ...
