Shew. Big update. I continued working on adding additional features and improving the Marvel Ultimate Character Generator. 2,865 lines of code. Almost 3k. If this was a book with 25 lines per page that would be almost 115 pages or 4 chapters at 29 pages each. It might sound like a lot, but when you […]

Progress. After overcoming the previous challenges I faced my toughest yet. How could I modify FASERIP? More specifically, how would I modify an attribute to go up or down the ranking system. To quote Abraham Erskine, “Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse.” The solution was to look at the index of a list and then

Big Update. I have updated Marvel_Ultimate_Character_Generator to include the following: Physical Forms Changes to FASERIP Changes to Origins Added Weaknesses Added Resources Added Popularity New Powers Many of these changes were brought on by the addenda from the Author of the Ultimate Powers book so I have incorporated those changes per: https://classicmarvelforever.com/cms/ultimate-addenda.html Current Code Count:

Phew. I broke 1,000 lines of code. It was a lot of tedious work, but I implemented power classes and categories from the Ultimate Powers Guide. Originally I started coding from the Advanced Players Guide, but then remembered the Ultimate Powers Guide and how it really upped the game by having even more combinations and

The python coding adventure continues. I was making great progress until I hit another roadblock. How do you take a list of strings and associate a numerical value to them? What’s more, how do you perform a calculation based on those values many of which have duplicates? The answer was a combination of dictionaries and

In my continued learning for Python, I decided to try to level up my skills and go more advanced. Previously, I took an analog medium, comics or more specifically New Mutants 2019 Issue 07, and converted a fight sequence that simulated dice rolling by porting it into a digital format which you can see here.

After spending several days crash coursing Python, I wanted to share the improvements and a before and after of code. My first attempt, I was able to replicate the fight sequence from New Mutants 2019 Issue 07 with 100 lines of code. I leaned on what I was comfortable with — if then loops. However,

So I have been learning to code in Python for some of the various project ideas I have and wanted to see how I did on something that does not exist as far as I can tell. In the Marvel Comic New Mutants, from 2019, Issue 07, there is a sequence in which the New
