-- Posted by BluShift at 1:35 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 Hey everyone... I posted this question yesterday. I'm just starting to learn Python, and I'm working on a program for my IP 20 class. We were supposed to do it in QBasic, but I really can't justify learning QB, being *ahem* useless and all, so I decided to pick up a little Python. I'm quite fluent in batch, so you can probably see that influence in here, (yes, I FLIPPED SHIT when I realized there was no "GOTO" command) So here's my beta code for my "noteleaver" program... # This is where I get all the important stuff imported import os import time os.system("CLS") # Splash screen start (lame I know) print "Hello, and welcome to the..." time.sleep(1) print print "     Note" time.sleep(1) os.system("CLS") print "Hello, and welcome to the..." print print "     NoteLeaver" time.sleep(1) os.system("CLS") # End of splash # Enter name and everything name = raw_input( 'Please enter your name: ' ) print print "Please type your message below: " print mess = raw_input() print print code = raw_input( "enter a passcode to lock this note: " ) print "Thank you, %s. Your note has been left" % name time.sleep(3) os.system("CLS") print print "    You have a new message from %s" % name raw_input() os.system("CLS") print "This note has been locked" print use = raw_input( "enter the passcode to view: " ) # password system (I think it's reletively secure) while True:   if use == code:       break   os.system("CLS")   print "That passcode is wrong. Try again."   time.sleep(1)   use = raw_input( "enter the passcode to view: " )   os.system("CLS") os.system("CLS") print "The message is as follows:" print "-----------------------" print "From: %s" % name print print "      %s" % mess print print "------------------------" raw_input( "press any key to exit" ) # End of program     Basically, It's like leaving a little password protected sticky note on someones screen. So if anybody took the time to go through that (yes I put the hashed comments in there just for you guys :3) I would like to know if there is anything I could do to make it "better." I realize it is fairly spaghetti. Any clever functions or easier ways to do something? Am i re-inventing the wheel? -- Posted by Solitude at 2:15 am on Nov. 16, 2008 wtf is that?
