wxWidgets and the PopOS

So me and my fellow co-conspirator in class tried to get everything set up from a seminar for linux to use the wxWidgets...  I got stuck when one of the prerequisites was not available on new linux systems and asked for her help.

There was a ton to get installed just to start the process of installing the wxWidgets.  In the end we both agreed to stick to tkinter to learn about the python GUI making process on linux.

I still have a couple things to clean up and my tkinter code will be up for the psychillogical questionnaire game.  Got really sidetracked today looking at how one might make a window strictly with python.  Looks like it would be near impossible, and extremely unwise to try.  ((this kinda makes me want to try even more.))

Dug a little bit into the pieces of tkinter... it uses TC (I can't find a link now that references the use of TC)  and TCL to do all the work... so I found a way to download some TCL source code.... Woah... nope, I don't know bumpkiss about C.  Looks like they do all the work to make the GUI happen and tkinter just manipulates them to get the results for python...  I might be mistaken on this... Forgive me if I am.  And as always feel free to comment and tell me if I am wrong.  (no comments yet on my blog, but that doesn't mean I'm right, nobody really sees this thing.) 

this pieces in my google search:
 tcl_createobjcommand example
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/8.6.8/tcl8.6.8-src.tar.gz/download
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tkinter


So, soon.
Code incoming.

JavaScript Ascii animation with while loops and console.log

I was working on figuring out while loops for an exercise in LearnJavaScriptTheHardWay  by Zed Shaw,  and I decided to do this: The red text console.logs were for debugging, and will take over the animation if the comments are removed. The bold red number is the point at which the loop stops.  My CPU didn't have too much trouble with that large number, but I'd recommend dialing it down if your CPU is slow. Also if your CPU is really fast, you'll have to change the pause to something much lower to see the animation better.  That too is in a loop, so the more that pause happens, the more loops your CPU is running.   Link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9006988/node-js-on-windows-how-to-clear-console To clear screen as described in link above, uncomment the bold purple comment I tried to comment the code to help learners see what I did,  any comments or suggestions, feel free to drop em in!                      ex16_ASCII.js //Trying to make a comma

playing with trigonometry sin in pygame

Image
Ok I am so far from understanding, so don't take this as any kind of math lesson. Also, every time I thought I knew what I was doing.... pygame would show me differently. Still a work in progress, but for now, something to play with. Update: SinWaveTime class added to produce that particular weaving effect Tinkering with the different sin wave variables: I wrote this piece separate from my 3D experiment to see how to manipulate the sin wave. While trying to use time as the factor to move my pygame draw circle on the x-axis, i got this crazy little doo-dad : I don't think it's drawing two circles at once, but if I figure out what the heck it's doing I'll let you know.  Or hey if you know, drop a comment.  I don't know if my comments are just not working, or no one wants to. So, here's some pygame code to play with the sin wave.  Alter the different variables to see it in action. picture of SinWave.move_with_time() see changes, SinWaveTime c

playing with color in powershell python

Here's a bit I'm working on.  I've discovered I love doing Ascii.  Examples of how to use the color changing escape.  I got a table from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/287871/print-in-terminal-with-colors-using-python the charts are way at the bottom. So far accurate for me.  def prettyjunk ( self ): # 1 is bold, 0 is plain, 2 is dull text_red = ' \x1b [1;31;40m' stop_color = ' \x1b [0m' text_blue = ' \x1b [1;34;40m' text_green = ' \x1b [1;32;40m' text_purple = ' \x1b [1;35;40m' text_lightblue = ' \x1b [1;36;40m' text_white = ' \x1b [1;37;40m' a_green_at = ( f " { text_green } @ { stop_color } " ) a_red_at = ( f " { text_red } @ { stop_color } " ) print ( f " { text_red } This should be Red. { stop_color } " ) print ( f "
