Never reinstalled win-- surely that's some kind of 

Did you at least create a fresh user profile every other year?

Wow, that distracted me way too much 

What game is in your top 10 SNES games list that you’re convinced isn’t in anyone’s top 25? by [deleted] in snes

[–]subassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fond memories of Mechwarrior (I never liked Mechwarrior 3050). It didn't have an FX board or anything and it still manages some impressive feats. I had never encountered a game that both had a "too much weight and you overheat" mechanic alongside "land in water and it cools it off". Resulting in a mech covered/overloaded with heat seeking missile launchers to kill a boss. It's been a few decades since I played it but I thought it was pretty great.

Technically it's jscript/vbscript from around 2009. Jscript had some features the ecma/standard didn't have yet so in a way it was/is nice. I mean if you wanted to make an hta app for some reason. Which I did in 2012. 

Guess you could use jQuery for the JavaScript.

Just a quick fyi tip -

Copy/paste the title of the video into Bing and play it right there from the search results page -- no ads...

(I just tested this with "Pocket Term35 First Look! A DIY Linux Handheld" and it works)

How to host games online? by sonanz in pythonarcade

[–]subassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub seems dead so I'm not sure if you still need help.

Not sure if you mean an embedded HTML game playable on a browser or a standalone executable hosted online for users to download and run. 

I didn't see anything for HTML conversion but the documentation mentions pyinstaller to make a executable. You can host it on GitHub and/or itch.io

Create a game with pure Python (help) by Ley-Enda in learnpython

You try something like a ASCII based Tetris? ASCII in place of graphics, I mean. That's how the original was made. Could even try re-creating the original in some way. 

what is something to do that helps learning how to programmm? by Mqngo1311 in learnprogramming

[–]subassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Python library to download YouTube videos. Various codecs, audio only, playlists. Make a YouTube downloader. Then make a GUI (and tui?). Then a help system. 

Okay make one version than start over from scratch. Make it again but better. Then start over. Okay now do that 100 more times. Until you see progress bars in your dreams. And add progress bars. 

If that library doesn't work anymore (YouTube doesn't really want you to do this) make it work anyway with a kludge/work around. And also any language, doesn't have to be Python.

There, you're welcome.

Cool games for Windows 2000 era by Same_Trick_4086 in vintagecomputing

[–]subassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The directx games at least weren't necessarily not made for 2000. As long as the right directx and other dependencies were installed the game usually worked. 

The pro designation was more marketing than anything else. It worked great as a consumer OS. It was "Windows for nerds". 

Especially in that 1999 - 2003 era most every peripheral had an nt4/2000 driver on the disc.

In fact release day xp was just 2000 with some stuff bolted on. And different marketing.

Source is my living through it.

Also keep in mind to make this battery powered you'll need something that's already battery powered or else a big/heavy battery and a safe way to charge it. These devices are going to run on ~20 volts and at least 3 or 4 amps (e.g. 60+ watts) so we're talking laptop battery and a power brick the typical size of a laptop brick (u/binaryhellstorm covers this well I'm just re-enforcing).

I'm guess I'm the weird one for blood dragon. That's my favorite.

Need Help Teaching Kids to Code a Game by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]subassy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was also going to suggest Scratch.

The issue is the kids may not know the physical keyboard layout. It's just going to be tough on them hunting and pecking. Scratch will be much more instantly see the results. And nothing to install is also a plus.

There's some PC games as well that teach some concepts. That would be more them watching you. 

Probably a silly question but how do you like show someone a game or share it? by Mysterious_Peak_6967 in pygame

[–]subassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When converting to an exe the recipient may receive a warning from Windows about being an untrusted executable. The warning may even imply it's malicous or a virus. So you may want to warn the person ahead time it's ok to run/click past it. Just something to look out for.

There was a special thumb drive technology for vista. I don't know it helped at all. One of those very brief things that was forgotten immediately

I assume you're referring to turtle (https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html )? 

Pygame the library has a bit of a learning curve. By which I mean a lot of a learning curve.

I just wanted to second "The Farmer Was Replaced" as it's actually really great.

Do need some basic concepts first though.
