Thanks! The reason I'm using python for this is because I picked it up and was liking it... I first heard of python as one of the easiest programming languages to learn (which I would say is a valid assessment because even though the indent format is strictly enforced, i don't have to do the semicolon thing like in Java. I mean there's more than that but its a relatively clean language in my opinion).
Though, I really should try using Unity or some other game engine to get a feel for them, especially since I've seen the powerful stuff those engines can do (especially when you can focus on other things besides the basic engine).
