hi, im new to the board and kinda new to Verge but not really, i can do some stuff
anyway, im making an RPG in a group with someone and he wants it to be Windows, and since the official Windows release kinda sucks I wanted to see 2.7 (and yes, i know. it doesnt use vc, it uses Phython)
also, ive been hearing good things about what 2.7 has to offer, and id like to see this as well
however, i dont know what i need to get or how to get started. i cant even get the demo to run.
if there's any tutorials on what to do or if someone could write a quick tutorial as to what i need to get and how to run everything as well as a small sample program to test they would be greatly apreciated
thankyou in advance,
Darrok

It doesn't run? What error message? Does it GPF? Some more information would be helpful. :)
If you don't already, get the demo at http://verge-rpg.com/~tsb/files/v27r1a.zip, that's the very newest release, and there should be a text file contained within, by the name of tut.txt. Also, the reference for v2.7's Python interface can be found at http://verge-rpg.com/~tsb/doc With any luck, that'll help get you started.

i think i found the problem with the original release of 2.7, and it's still a problem in 2.7r1a (there's another one too)
i dont have python21.dll, where can i get this?
and the zip didnt contain libpng1.dll, i had to get it from the original release of 2.7
ive never coded in Phython, wheres a good place to find some easy tutorials that i can distribute to the team? (and read myself of course)
im guessing that i should download the standard python distribution (quoting from the tutorial) so which file(s) would that be at www.python.org?
again, thanks in advance,

heh. Nobody's written any yet! Look in that zip for tut.txt. (made by yours truly)
Also, http://verge-rpg.com/~tsb/doc
As for the missing DLLs, you can snag them all at http://verge-rpg.com/~tsb/files/hugewadofdlls.zip

Just thought you should know that you don't need the python distribution (the one from python.org) to make VERGE 2.7 games or to get them to run. The only reason V2.7 started working after you got the distribution is because the distribution came with python21.dll- a file you need to run V2.7 games. So if you're not really using the python distribution you may remove it and simply put python21.dll into your windows directory or into the directory of the game you're working on.

http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/ is one link to a Python tutorial. http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/ is another tutorial. These tutorials only cover the basic Python programming language, but if you read them you will only need the Verge Python Refference to start writing games.
