Fire Fusion and steel v1

[wildfire]

Okay I've not long started a course using Python 3.6 with the Open University and thought I'd try scripting FF&S v1 in python so have put the gauss weapon sequence into a script and think it works fairly well if anyone can break it I'd be glad to know

I'm going to work through the whole book slowly and see how it goes can't promise much as it comes fourth behind work, the wife and university but I greatly enjoy the coding. Please note i've never used python before April and not coded much ever.

You may want to use GitHub to store your code. There are Windows and other OS clients for Git, and others can see your code and download it easily.

If you do go the GitHub route, send me a note and we can add you to the Makhidkarun repo. A few of us have code there, several projects are in Python.

Leitz,

Thanks for the advice I've set up a GitHub repo found here - https://github.com/wildfire142/Fire-Fusion-and-Steel and been making a few bug fixes and changes as I test my code

The Gauss weapon design sequence is about done so starting Small Arms next.

progress

Small arms 90% complete and guass weapons updated.

Any progress is good. I find the longer things sit the harder they are to get back to.

Aye real life has been hitting hard the last few weeks but its fun to code this when I can

Okay, I have to admit; your use of GUI far exceeds mine. Awesome stuff!

I don't do TNE, but the output looks nice. Hit some errors, want an issue in GitHub or what?

Fire them up on git hub and I'll try a squash them this weekend if I can find some time.

Thanks for the kind words about the GUI its nice as I hadn't touched python before April and all the GUI stuff is cobbled together from a couple of books stackoverflow and google searches.

Well, you learn faster that me, that's for sure. Issue #6. I reformatted it to high-light as python. Lemme know if you have any questions.

Seen it and replied on GitHub will need to hunt for a way round it.

In squashing the bug decided to add save and load to database options which opened a can of worms for accessing instances. To fix it I had to start the framework from scratch and change the layout but it now works.

Very cool! I'm in the throes of re-org-ing two of my projects into Ruby gems and making the time to break things into where they should be.

One of the big things I've learned lately is that we should expect to find ways to improve our code. Otherwise we're no smarter than when we started. Having good tests really helps the migration.
