General What do I need to learn?

[seemiles]

Hi - Noob question inbound

As I find myself in a 'break in employment' - I am interested in learning how to code apps for use within AC - just as a hobby, is Python what I need to learn to enable me to do this? What about the UI - is that all designed within Python? or are there any other apps that I will need to be aware of?

Primarily I would be interested in creating a HUD - to give some context of the more specific area of interest to me, should it help direct me.

Thanks
Miles

You can use already made HUD to see how it works.

The game's own UI is not coded in python, those apps use C++ (and have access to more fo the game engine, so they can show things like wing locations). Everything added by users is Python though. It uses a stripped down python 3.6, so you can't just use general python tutorials unless you also want to learn how to manually import python's c libraries.

Thank you for the responses, I will look further down the Python road and see where I end up

This might help you get started. Even with minimal programming knowledge you can do some nice stuff.
