Or if the achievement gave you a bonus for the rest of THAT playthrough. And many achievements would be mutually exclusive.

I'm also thinking it would be better to do an achievement for killing X number of enemies at once, rather than over time. Then you have to either work on strategy to get them all together so you can blast them, or else happen upon it eventually by accident.

Another interesting one would be "killing X enemies without slowing below 50 MPH" or killing only people from a single faction.

Borderlands actually had a few like that, at least one achievement line was "kill X enemies within Y seconds of the previous kill".

Well, if I get what you're trying to do, which is determine if a point is one space away in taxicab geometry, I'd do something like:
if a[0] == b[0]:
  if a[1]-b[1] and abs(a[1]-b[1]) <= 1:
    print "Near"
elif a[1] == b[1]:
  if a[0]-b[0] and abs(a[0]-b[0]) <= 1:
    print "Near"
elif a[0]==b[0] and a[1]==b[1]: print "They're the same point, genius"
else: print "Not near"Note, you'd have to import abs from math (if I'm remembering the function name correctly, you can always look it up in the docs to be sure).

What occurs to me, after looking specifically at the for loop the traceback is coming from, you're removing i from temp_dir inside an iteration of another list, so what would appear to be happening is it checks i against whatever it's checking against, removes it, then encounters another situation wherein it would remove i, only to find that i has already been removed.

Basically this is what I think it's doing:
aList = [1,2,3,4]
otherList = [1,2,3,4]
for e in aList:
  for n in otherList:
    if e > n: aList.remove(e)Where, once e reaches three, it will be removed at the first test, and then again at the second, except it's no longer in the list and thus can't be removed.

So, maybe you want to do a bit of sanity checking to ensure i is actually there before trying to remove it (or just wrap it in try:... except ValueError:...)

However, I've made no attempt to comprehend the code as a whole, as trying to do so makes my brain hurt.

Also, entering lowsec and saying "hi guys" is a great way to see what the inside of your ship an empty local chat looks like.
In fact entering lowsec at all. The gates between low and high security space are pretty much camped 24/7. completely safe 99% of the time, with the exception of a few specific systems.

Fixed.

I'm American honey, our names don't mean shit.

Python is probably the easiest to learn in order to learn the basic skills to program in the first place.

C++ is more useful, but harder to learn if you don't already have a feel for coding.

Java is like C++, but has absurdly bad performance (so does python, but that's balanced out by being much easier to use), and so is useless for most things (since a given task would either be resource intensive, in which case C++ is the better solution, or not, in which case python is much easier to work with).

I don't know what the fuck C# is, though from what I've heard it's kind of like java, only it runs on the .NET framework.

Perl is interesting, but not something you'd want to start off with, and certainly not something you'd want to try to make a game with (python beats perl in functionality and ease of use, though, even if it's not as wonderfully batshit...).

C is C++, except harder to work with but slightly more efficient.

And that would be the extent of my experience...

you must drink a lot of water... or watered down alcohol, hangovers are caused by dehydration. Alcohol tends to not hydrate you despite being quite wet.

While I do try to drink lots of water while drinking, for just that reason, several times I haven't had the opportunity, and still haven't gotten a hangover... :/

Just to finish these side conversations for good...


On the "legal flamethrower": There is no technical law about it. Of course, INTERNATIONAL law states that they are illegal, and I'm sure there is a national law about it.

Sort of. International treaties ban their use in combat, although the US didn't sign any of those treaties. They did, however, stop using them, presumably on the grounds that a missile with pinpoint accuracy launched from a plane miles away was far better than a guy crawling to within fifty meters of the target with a giant can of napalm attached to a squirtgun. :3

If I recall correctly, flamethrowers are "legal" in all states, but in a handful you need permits (I believe mainly particularly flammable states, like California) to use/own one.

In the United States, private ownership of a flamethrower is not restricted by federal law, but is restricted in some states, such as California, by state laws (cf. California Health and Welfare Codes 12750-12761, Flamethrowing Devices)

I recalled correctly, apparently.
