I've developed chessTimer a bit further:
<http://www.rcblue.com/Python/chessTimerForWebV9.py>
I'm still hoping for some constructive criticism. But I also thought
I'd mention again the points I have doubts about:
1. Is wrapping the long lines where I have done so OK?
2. I've used 1 for White player, -1 for Black player, and (-1)*player
to alternate players. Is there a better way?
3. I've used a lot of variables. Too Many?
4. Should more of the code be in functions?
5. Is there a way to collapse lines 130-137?:
if player == 1: # player is White
whiteMoveCounter += 1
print "Black to make move %d" % (blackMoveCounter)
remainingWhiteTime -= timeUsedThisMove
elif player == -1: # player is Black
blackMoveCounter += 1
print "White to make move %d" % (whiteMoveCounter)
remainingBlackTime -= timeUsedThisMove
6. I thought I had a way to make this script useable on unix as well
as Windows. Thus the section with the 3 classes. But it won't run on
unix, because it was necessary to import msvcrt outside of the
classes--it wouldn't compile otherwise, and because of the need for
the line 'if msvcrt.kbhit():' (line 116). I hope I'm wrong about
this, and someone can show me how to fix it so that the unix people
can give me some criticism/advice as well.
Thanks,
Dick Moores
