Aye; I find Python has a very similar "heft" to Pascal - nicely English language like "prose" syntax. >I am not asking programming help >just guidance toward package(s) I may need.

Python ships with a "tkinter" module which lets you define a GUI interface. You probably want some kind of "canvas" or "image" widget from within that to render your playing field diagrams/visualisations. Someone else will have to speak to a nice geometry package for simple 3d renders and lines/angles etc. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
