Apparently, as part of my beginning CS classes, I have to learn Python. Looking at some tutorials, and doing a few sample programs with it has convinced me that it is a pretty cool language. I might do some small games with Pygame, since I'm not feeling like working on my big project right now. I don't imagine Pygame will be too difficult to learn, since it is essentially SDL(I think).
I really, really wish I could make a Blocky Man creature in Spore[grin]
And why can't you do Blocky Man in Spore? I bet you could if you really tried!
