Re: [pygame] Rpg Game ?

I usually just lurk on this list, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

language only for websites, you cant use it for desktop programming like perl.

No, it can be used for whatever you use it for. There are GTK bindings, and several desktop apps written in PHP (I think they are crazy for doing it, but to each his own).

With PHP you can make everything you have ever seen on a website :P forums, sites,tutorials systems, ftp manager, etc
If you want more info about php you can visit my site www.php4all.org
And about putting that in a site, browsers, such as internet explroer, firefox, opera, etc, only "understand" java, flash, and other few languages for game programming

CPython isn't on that list, but Jython runs on the Java VM. Pygame in particular requires a C-only library (SDL), but one could certainly use a Java display library and input system through Jython.

And python is not in that list :P
Pygame cannot be added into a website like a flash game :/
At least i have never seen one...

W.r.t the original question about making an RPG; most RPGs are made by teams of dozens of artists and designers over several years. RPGs in general are very asset-heavy, meaning they need a lot more art/ sound/design than code. This basically rules them out as an option for most 1-person-to-small teams. If you would like to work an RPG, my recommendation would be to find a team already working on one, and offer to help out. I know the PlaneShift team is always looking for an extra hand.
