Title: Python or Ruby?
Post by: Domo_46_Kun on October 01, 2006, 12:09:41 AM

I'm trying to decide whether to learn Python or Ruby... both seem easy enough to learn.  I know a lot of C++, I took a class on it for an entire year.  I'm using rm2k3... what language would be easier to implement?

Erm... you can't apply either Python or Ruby to RM2K3. If you want to use a coding language but still have RPG Maker functionality, go and get RMXP, which has a Ruby scripter for more advanced coding and whatnot.
RMXP is fully translated and legal if you buy it, so go and get it off CNET.com. You could also download it, but that's a big illegal no-no, and we cannot give links to a free translation.

Can RMXP use python?  I have RPXP as well.

And "PUT SHOE ON HEAD"... xD.  YTMND FTW.

As far as I know, no, it can only use Ruby.

OK... then I think I'm going to have to hand-code my game with Python... it might take a little longer, but I'll be able to make my own GUI and it will be a lot more flexible... plus Python is easier to understand than RM anyways.

I heard that Ruby sucks for a reason: the actual language, is although supposed to be easier than C++, the majority of documentation for Ruby is Japanese so it would be hard to apply as a codeing language. So it is not globally supported.

RMXP uses a watered down derivitive of this.

Python I never really consider. Not sure what to say there, but if I was to use a language my choice may go between VB or somthing in that category. Might be harder though.

I started learing python last night... damn easy!

This is the "Hello World" program...

>>>print "Hello World/n"

no confusing language... closest to actual english you can get.
