Go to the start menu and start typing "on-screen keyboard" and you'll find it. (Or alternatively follow the steps on this video).

sketchfab.com and p3d.in can do that.

If I remember correctly, the first argument of String.split is a regular expression, and "." would mean splitting at any character.
Try escaping the dot character like this:
This should work also if you import java.util.regex.Pattern first:

Life Advice / Re: Dwarf Fortress on Windows Surface?
« on: March 07, 2013, 08:49:58 am »Ah thanks guys. I dream of the day where they make dwarf fortress playable with all features on a *portable device.
That's already possible. Dwarf Fortress runs on my Acer Iconia W510 at 100 FPS with default settings.
Playing with the on-screen keyboard is a bit slower than playing with a physical keyboard, but it works well enough.
The Iconia W510 comes with an attachable keyboard, so it's possible to play with that also.
edit: Migrants and their pets arrived, there are also some wolverines and ravens. The average FPS is 80 now.

« on: February 27, 2013, 04:19:04 am »EDIT: Hmm, when I try to replicate your code I get syntax errors at the 'print' stage.You are probably using Python 3. Try adding parentheses after the print statement like this:
Code: [Select]
print("and I like " + preferance[random.randint(0,1)])

Python already has a module called time, maybe person.py is using that instead of the time.py you created?

That's pretty good for a first game. I did a similar game when I was learning Python.
Here are some notes about the game, and the source code:
The game crashes when you type a command that doesn't have spaces.
The game crashed when I won a battle in the second room. The library.zip didn't contain fulltest.py, but I guess current_room somehow became None.
Some kind of help command would be handy.
I recommend writing class names in CamelCase to distinguish them from variable and function names.
You can clear the screen with os.system("cls").

The core of the problem is that when you move to the second room, it replaces the attributes of the first room with the attributes from the second room, which means that the first room doesn't exist anymore, and you have two identical rooms.
One way to fix it would be making a variable that points to the current room, and making the roomhandler return the next room, and replacing the current room with the returned room.
Something like this (I also replaced the recursive start call with a loop):

Dictionary or a list would be a good way to do that like mendonca and Max said, but if you want variables for some reason, you could do this:
now you have global variables from id0 to id99 that contain persons. You could use locals() instead of globals(), but modifying local variables like that is not a good idea according to Python documentation.
Code: [Select]
for i in range(100):
globals()['id' + str(i)] = person()

Make a new surface, fill it with desired color, make it transparent and put it on the sprite with Blit. I've never used SDLDotNet, but after looking at the docs, I think you can do it with something like this:
Code: [Select]
Surface overlay = new Surface(32,32);
overlay.Fill(color);
overlay.AlphaBlending = true;
overlay.Alpha = 128;
sprite.Blit(overlay, new Point(0,0));

Is there any restrictions on who can invade you? I was invaded by a quite powerful player today. I tried to find a hiding place, hoping that he won't find me, but eventually he comes and we just circle around each other for awhile. Then I kick him and strike him, barely doing any damage. I hit him again and he parries and kills me in one strike with his flaming sword and does some sort of facepalm gesture.

Yes, I tested it. The update in Player replaces the update that it inherits from Animation regardless of the parameters.
