Python App 2: A simple RPG



Astonishingly enough, I kept to my word. I spent some more time on the beginner to advanced Python course at Stackskills, learnt some "advanced techniques", and am now on the second project. As my title indeed suggests, its aim is to create a simple text-based RPG. The code I'm working on is of course available at my Github page although be warned that for the time being it simply includes some of the character set-up code.

I have also spent some time sprucing up the Blog, seeing as it was based on code some seven years old. First I reset to the default dynamic theme- which still looks, surprisingly,  modern. My next step is to add silly little features like a Last.fm "Now Playing" widget if I am listening to music, and to add back some colour to the defaults. Gone is the snot green- I'm likely to go with either purple or red. I've also changed the font to the beautiful and easier to read Fira Sans, based on the Firefox logo font and also used in the short-lived Firefox OS.
