| | This well commented Python snippet uses wxPython's plotting widget to graph the projectile motion of two different firing angles on the same plotting canvas. |
| | Hi all, Have you ever heard of "Petals Around the Rose?" It's a logic puzzle. The way it works is, I roll five dice, then tell you what the "score" is for this round. I can repeat this for you as many times as you want. It's your job to … |
| | [URL="http://www.bitstorm.org/gameoflife/"]Life[/URL] is a "game" or cellular automaton - an evolving computational state system - developed by a Cambridge mathematician named John Conway. The idea is simple: start with a board of dimensions (x,y). Populate the board with an initial pattern of occupied and empty cells. In every turn, the rules … |
| | Sometimes you want to accomplish something with a minimum ammount of code. Here is an example of using modern Python concepts of lambda, list comprehension and all() to create an anonymous function that returns a prime list from 2 to n. |
| | A little program to convert angles to and from Decimal degrees, Degrees decimal minutes and Degrees minutes decimal seconds. |

| | Just bouncing a red ball within the frame of a window, the twist here is that the image is stored within the code as a base64 encoded string of the gif image. This way you only have to distribute one file. The Python code is heavily commented, so you can …  |
 | The Python module datetime allows you to calculate the days between two given dates with relative ease. I am using the US date format month/day/year, but you can change that by giving attention to the order of the extracted tuple. |
| | Using count() from Python's itertools module and the Tkinter GUI toolkit's after() function, you can create a simple counter that counts up the seconds until the Stop button is pressed. |
| | This code takes a string a cyphers it by shifting it's position in the alphabet. I've gotten it so it can pretty much take paragraphs. It's quite neat to play with. For example the above when shifted to 5, would be: Ymnx htij yfpjx f xywnsl f hDumjwx ny gD …  |
 | This one works pretty fast, even for large numbers. Like it says, aproxomite end number, and that is because it will generally go one fibonacci number above what you specify. |
| | The wxPython wx.lib.fancytext widget allows you to display super and subscripts in texts, and allows you to change fonts and colours too. All this is done with XML coded strings.
