I recently came across Java2Python. As I'm interested in Cairo I thought it would be interesting to try porting one of the example tutorials from ZetCode.
I'll run through the steps involved in porting then try and reach some conclusions at the end :).
This is easiest in …
A little python, a lot of angst... for just 3 hours of work this was definitely worth it :)

Without furtherado, heres my 5-minute-python.

import sys, pygame
from pygame.locals import *
import pygame.mixer
if __name__=="__main__":
pygame.display.set_mode((120, 120), DOUBLEBUF | HWSURFACE …Reached a small milestone in my bat and ball game (BallBreaker), the fonts are implemented as bitmap fonts, meaning that everything on the rendered on the game screen is original material.
The current font system is based on tiles, so it should be easy to implement animation and cool stuff …
I've recently started learning python in earnest, to this end I've been writing a bat and ball game. I'm quite suprised at how much you get for your LOC in python... so far it's about 1,000 LOC and has multiple powerups and bats, plus sound fx by ne7.
