ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hey guys, I want to make a card game (if anyones interested and has played Star Wars KOTOR, i'm trying to make Pazaak). What I need to know is what is a GOOD, EASY!!!!, AND SIMPLE (as far as non ativex or open gl) graphical programming language to use in linux. In winblows I would have VB and others. Please provide any help you can
i dont know pazaak but i cant see that you need any more graphics than displaying bitmaps which most languages/libraries support. do you know any languages already? if yes then im sure someone can point you to the necessary libraries for graphics. if you dont know any languages then i suggest you check out some "which language shoud i learn" threads, and pick a language. start with some simple text based stuff and when your more comfortable you can try some graphics.
nope, don't know any languages. I have heard that python is a great beginner language but I don't know if it does any good graphics and even if it did I would never know how to get the correct programs to do it.
But FIRST, learn a language! Programming games is not a beginner project, and you cannot just jump into a language and create a card game. I would learn Python if you are wanting a simple, understandable language. If you are seriously interested in game development though, you will need to know C, C++.
If you are stuck programming a card game in Python, I have an old module I wrote somewhere that can pop and push cards, shuffle, deal, etc.

I have one of these too, complete with unit tests even (it's what I was toying with to learn unit tests).
At any rate, you might be able to implement it as a new game in PySol if you want (google for PySol). Shouldn't be too hard, and it gives you a set of tools to start with.
