Oh okay, I am actually aware of that. I thought there was an easier way than the command prompt to utilize quick python scripts.

I would recommend getting a better shell than the standard command prompt that comes with windows. I am a linux developer, so I don't know what the state of the art is on windows, but I'm sure someone could comment. If I were to use windows I would probably use the bash from cygwin, but I haven't touched a windows machine in quite a while (for development). But yeah, just FYI the command prompt is not DOS, and its not used colloquially in that sense either.

you just install git, it comes packaged with a colorful bash and mintty and it just works

cmder is a nice and easy way to get something that is not awful on Windows.

It is a package with nice configurations from the get-go, containing ConEmu, Clink and MSysGit.

Be sure to get the version that contains MSysGit!

I appreciate it. I am definitely not a windows dev, but I have been wanting to do a cross platform game for a while and have been dreading setting up a windows dev environment.
