This blog post describes how to create an Item database using libgdx JSON parser and storing it in a Collections object to retrieve from. 0.) Create the JSON file Save this as "weaponDb.json". This JSON object is used to create a list of Items in which we can grab items from. [ { "id": 1, "name": "Dumb Basic Sword", }, { "id": 2, "name": "Bad Ass Flaming Sword", }, { "id": 3, "name": "Sword of Kick Ass", } ] 1.) Create the test A simple JUnit test to test our database import com.mygdx.items.Item; import com.mygdx.items.ItemLoader; import org.junit.Test; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.ArrayList; /*Simple Test Case*/ public class TestDb { @Test public void testDb() throws IOException { ItemLoader itemLoader = new ItemLoader(); ArrayList database = itemLoader.load(...

Here's a logo I created with Inkscape. It's a bird. Feel free to download it and study it. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1021767/SVG%20SHARE/avengers_logo.svg

Experiment using same shapes to create characters. Just scale to create small/big characters.

Print Append Using print to append string to file file = open('path/to/file','a+') print >> file, 'string to append' print >> file, 'another string' If you check your file you should have string to append another string Dictionary Functions Map functions in python dictionary def doThis(): print 'this' def doThat(): print 'that' def doThose(string): print string func_dict = { 'this':doThis, 'that':doThat, 'those':doThose } func_dict['this'] #prints this func_dict['that'] #prints that func_dict['those']('Python is cool') #prints Python is cool More to come...

I created a password storage tool using python because I has to remember too many of them I hope this application will help you out. Also it's in alpha and has no documentation(yet). download link  https://github.com/randyyaj/pylock

I had a job interview today. Man it was rough. I forgot to brush up on my skills and knowledge in computer science and tried to wing the interview. Bad idea. Even though I felt I answered most of the questions decently, it was still very challenging. I bet those guys thought I was an idiot. [+]A note to anyone who is thinking about or about to get an interview for a programming job. Make sure you know about data structures, algorithms, efficiencies of data structures, linked list vs arrays(not dynamic), sql statements such as joins and why NULLS are bad in tables. If you list a programming language be prepared to answer some questions about it. I thought I knew a lot about python. Turns out I was still not too knowledgeable about the simplest stuff.  This was quite the experience but I think for my next interview I will go in more prepared.

Here is a mock up on the UI I want to "try" for my application. Enjoy. Download link on request.
