Objective: Familiarize myself with python and its use within blender
Material: Professor Baker, Blenders Python Console, Blender API documentation.
Method:
- Listen to Professor Bakers lecture
- Open the API doc
- Identify the how the sensors, controllers, and actuators are added
- Identify some key terms
Results: I can now Identify how Controllers, sensors, and actuators and how they are attached to each other using python.
- globalDict- this is where you could store stuff as your loading different files
- functions – work very similar to sensors controllers and actuators
- parameter – input of a function
- return type – is the output of the function, (…bge.logic.getCurrentScene()…), this is the kind of thing im going to get back according to what I ask it to give me
- Constants – Are set values that do not change
Discussion: This was a good basics session, I dont feel I know how to use it but, I think that after a little use I will feel more comfortable using it, but right now I feel a little hesitant using python.
