Latrokles:

== Pre class HW ==

For the class we will be using python and pygame. Instructions on how to install them on your operating system of choice can be found below.

* [[ Installing Python and Pygame ]]

''' Git and Github '''

We would like those taking the class to keep a source repository to store workshop and homework code so that:
1. they can modify without fear of messing it up beyond repair
2. they can share code and, thus, assist each other

To that end, we have some resources below to get git installed, open a github account, and the main git commands you will need to get started.

[http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/ Setting up git on Windows]
[http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/ Setting up git on OS X]
[http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git/ Setting up git on Linux] (you may choose to use your package manager (apt, yum, pacman, etc.) to install the git-core package)

If you can go through this before the class 0, great! you will have more time to write some code during the workshop. Otherwise, we will be available to assist anyone who may need help getting things started.

You can get the presentation slides, code, and other material from this wiki OR live from the [https://github.com/3lawsafe/HacDC-Intro-to-Programming class repository]

Installing Python and Pygame

2011-05-18T02:48:20Z

Latrokles:

== Windows ==
You can download python from [http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/ Python 2.7 release], get the Windows installer and run it.

After that, you are ready to install pygame, which can be obtained from [http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/ Pygame releases for Windows], make sure you get the one for 2.7. Once you run the installer you should be good to go.

== Mac osx ==
'''OS X 10.6.* (Snow Leopard)'''
You already have python 2.6 installed. You need only then to download the pygame installer at [http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml Pygame releases], you will find the snow leopard installer at the bottom of the OS X section.

'''OS X 10.5 and below '''
Earlier versions are running an older version of python, so you may want to install python [http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/ 2.6] or [http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/ 2.7] and follow that with the appropriate pygame installer from [http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml Pygame releases]

== Linux ==
If you are running a recent version of your distro, chances are you may already have python 2.6 or 2.7 installed. If that is the case you can go ahead and install pygame using your package manager (in the case of ubuntu the package is python-pygame).
