I've been working on a game for several months but now I'm thinking I may be going about it the wrong way. It's an online RPG designed to recreate a pen & paper session, kind of like the OpenRPG project.
Originally I planned on doing something like OpenRPG with a Python app that contained everything. But I'm thinking that approach may not be necessary. Since the game would use the Internet for everyone to play it, maybe it would be easier/better to just make a web app w/ Python underpinnings. That way I wouldn't have to worry about making a Python GUI and other "standalone" features that would have to be installed on each players computer; they could just interact via a web browser and IM. The code I've made so far is just a text-based "proof-of-concept" for the character generation to make sure I have the logic correct. I've only been designing a GUI for the last few weeks and trying different things like Tkinter and wxPython, so building a whole web app won't set me back any. With that in mind, I'm looking for opinions from more experienced programmers. For this project, do you think I should continue w/ building a stand alone program or do you think making something out of Django/Turbogears would be better? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
