Frequently Asked Questions

A list of Frequently Asked Questions. Note that most of these questions were never asked, but I put them in just in case someone wanted to know them.

So who are you?

Have you checked the Who Am I page?

What do you mean with Licenses?

These are the free licenses I use for my projects. Here are a few licenses I have used or might use:

I downloaded one of your projects, but where is the installer?

Well, there isn't. Sure, I know how to make one, but there are two main reasons... three main reasons... well, some of the reasons I don't make them are:

  1. I'm lazy. Making installers is all extra work.
  2. It's mostly source distribution anyway. That's because:
    1. It's all open source & mostly Python. Just distributing the source is way easier than compiling it and distribute source too.
    2. My projects are mostly aimed at other developers, who often have the dependencies already.
    3. Better portability.
  3. My projects are mostly aimed at other developers, they should know how to unzip a zip-file and copy the contents to a new directory!
  4. They don't mess with the Registry or anything, which means they don't really need any installers or deinstallers.
In the future, I might make it a little bit easier for the average user to download and install my programs, and compile the source using Py2Exe and make an installer with NSIS. Update: I already did this for SpaceFlight2D and Edit2, as well as PyFox2.

What are those Recommendation stars about?

They tell how much I think you'll value the project:

I recommend this. It is either a very cool game or a very useful tool. Other people like it as well.
I recommend this. It is either a pretty cool game or a fairly useful tool.
It's OK. I'm not very proud of it, but not ashamed of it either.
You can download this, but I'm not proud I made it. There is probably a better alternative.
Deprecated. Not every project makes it.

Those star images look spiffy! How did you make them?

I didn't. They are part of the awesome Silk icon set, made by Mark James, who published it under the very liberal Creative Commons Attribution license.

Your site is lame.

That's not a question. But yeah, Webs.com (formerly Freewebs) has its limitations. Therefore, I am working on my GitHub Userpage so it can replace this site.
