Hello, while I have experience programming I have never created a game and I am not sure how to structure my code. After looking at some projects I am still not 100% sure what I am doing.
I would appreciate if some one could show me how to arrange a character class, game(world) class, and a weapons class.
In my opinion (I’m not an expert), I would HIGHLY suggest reading books on game programming, especially in python. They run you through the steps, and show you how to use your code to make games.
I for one used that method(along with my lecturer, who taught us very very very basic programming), and I THINK it worked out quite well.
Maybe check your nearby library?
Thank you for your response. Do you know any book titles that I should look at?
plenty of free ones on the internet.
Just google
Python tutorials
You can take a look at the project Epoch.
It is a full game, and it is well structured.
you can find the thread where to download the source

I think it is a bit complex for a beginner, but it is very interesting to view a complete game.
If you need to learn python programming structure you can go here.
I found it after googling awhile and it’s very neat for basic.
I know the basics of python, I was wondering if there is a standard of sorts. For example I have seen code with something like
If name==__main__:Wow, nobody has mentioned PEP-0008 yet?
That’s the definitive coding style document for Python.
Update: Slight caveat, that should be name, not just name. name is a built-in magic variable. It will be “main” if the module is being run itself, otherwise it will contain the module name where it is being imported from.
Update2: Er, Thomas beat me to it. 
hobbit: that line is part of pythons standard magic, if you have a py file and do python yourpyfile.py it will execute the following code, if you import yourpyfile as a module it will not. this is sometimes usefull to make modules which provide stand-alone functionality
thank you both for the replies. I’m finding the PEP-0008 to be really helpful, I never knew some of the information in there.
To answer your original question, i found a very well structured and also functional finished exampled here: discourse.panda3d.org/viewtopic.php?t=6688
have fun.
