OS Independent Scotland Yard Released
DarkLaser writes "When's the last time you played Scotland Yard? A version called London Law,
written by Paul Pelzl, is now in beta. Its updated status can be seen on the freshmeat information page. It is written in Python, and intended to be able to run on Linux, BSD, Mac, and Windows."
If the agents ever managed to land on the same spot as Mr. X, then the agents won. If the agents ran out of tokens first, then the agents won.
;)
So Mr. X gets the short end of the deal, then?
Don't you hate meta-sigs?
No, but you don't have to worry. The BIG news is that this is written in Python, one of Forbe's magazine's 2003 predictions for "Big Things for 2004". Python is an interpreted scripting language that proactively optimizes the development platform for portability, maintainability, and scalability. This is an excellent example of how Python can be leveraged to produce cross-platform enterprise level games.
"Enterprise-level games"...you're killing me here...
Advice: on VPS providers
Python is the waaay....
Come to the dark side....
Who needs to compile...?
Your code will look sooo pretty....
The voices in my head are back. I tried to tell them I was happy with VC.net, but they keep calling to me...
Perhaps I should give in to them.
If it's in you sig, it's in your post.
Do you mind if we complain that this showed up in the Apple section with claims that it's "OS Independent", when no one's actually gotten it to run on Apple hardware?
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
