Question

What should I do if, when I tried to open my simple python program, I got a popup box asking what program I should open it with?

Community Answer

If this happens, you didn't save it correctly. Remember to save it with .PY at the end, and this won't happen.

I started by using Scratch to learn programming languages, though once I found that I could not get much further with it, I started to use a software called Dreamweaver, which I've used to create multiple HTML Javascript websites.

Once you've checked out the website you created, you are able to right click on the HTML document which will probably have a Google symbol next to it if you're on Windows. Then click open with - then click on notepad and it will give you your script.

Question

Can we make games like "player unknown's battle grounds" (pubg) with Notepad?

Phantom

Community Answer

No, you need a proper game engine for that. Popular engines for 3D games are Unity and Unreal Engine 4 (PUBG uses this), which are both free for anyone to download.

Question

How do I make it so all computers can access the program I made in Notepad?

Community Answer

That depends upon what you mean by "access". If all you want is to be able to go to any computer in the world and run your program, then you could email the completed program to yourself and as long as you have the ability to access your email and an appropriate OS to run it, your program is everywhere you want it to be. Alternatively, if you want to be able to edit it from anywhere, you could keep your in-progress code in the cloud and cut/paste it into notepad at your current terminal and save it as a program locally to test it out.

Question

What programs can I use for a robotic arm?

iMetroLive

Community Answer

The most popular language in robotics is probably C/C++ (C++ is an object-oriented successor to the C language). Python is also very popular due to its use in machine learning and also because it can be used to develop ROS packages
