🔒 python to iphone or android app

[stark star]

I have a python script for a simple game, and i want to sell it on apple and android. BUT....i want to test it. How do i convert python script into an app i can test? What is the simplest way, i have no experience and haven't been able to follow the online do-it-yourself guides.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Are you using any GUI?

[stark star]

all i've done is build a python code using chatgpt

[grizzled robin]

oh no

so you have no idea whether its made with any GUI?

[stark star]

i don't even know what GUI is, i'm hoping for the code to convert into something physical i can see and test, and then get chatgpt to fix bugs

[grizzled robin]

You might as well ask ChatGPT to build it in XCode for iOS and Java for Android instead

[stark star]

the good thing with pyhton was that i could test it in word form first

[grizzled robin]

Yeah but its terrible for building/compiling into mobile apps

[stark star]

so i'll tell it to convert for xcode, then install xcode?

i tried xcode yesterday and it wasn't easy to understand.....

isn't there a website where you gie them your codes and then it allows you to tweak all the app stuff?

[grizzled robin]

Do you have a Mac? XCode can only run on Mac

[stark star]

yeh got a mac

[grizzled robin]

OK so you can then get XCode Studio and then emulate it on iPhone

For the Android, get the Android Studio, plug in the Java code in there, then build and emulate for Android devices (virtual and/or physical)

[stark star]

there was all this talk about 'terminal' and pip installs....it's just too complcated for people like me who are only passing through

[grizzled robin]

Well if you really wanna get into this app building thing, that's usually how that works

The alternative, is to actually use a Game Engine and build stuff from there.

You can buy scripts from game engine's marketplace and plug and play

Then build cross-platform from the game engine

e.g. of game engines: Unity3d, Unreal, Godot

i think more and more people are going to come through like me, hoping for a quick chatgpt python script, into a game, a simple text-based game in my case, put it on app store for 99p and hope for the best. There's going to be a real market for a user-friendly looking app creations?

does anyone in this discord freelance? just to get someone like me up and running?

the people on fiver look way dodgy

[grizzled robin]

And in Discord is less dodgy? 🤣

But no, that's not allowed in this server at least

!rule paid

Rules

This is the perfec opportunity for you to upskill and learn to program :)

[grizzled robin]

Its never too late to learn a new skill

[gritty terrace]

There's a reason this doesn't exist, BC it's not trivial!!

[stark star]

put your script in, up comes a nice looking app, you can tweak the app and the script, and test it

call it "app tester"

[viral bay]

Check out Flet, or Flutter/Dart if you are up to it.

[stark star]

that's what i tried, but it wasn't uder friendly, even the install assumed you knew stuff about terminal and pip install. Again ,surprised there isn't a clean/easy version to click and start.

[grizzled robin]

As I said, that's available in most Game Engines like Godot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhfqjmasi0

[stark star]

thank you, apprectaite the feedback

so godot, you take an existing game, tweak it and make it your own?

[grizzled robin]

no, you can't import your python script into Godot. You have to make one from scratch

i.e. drag and drop game assets and flows etc

[stark star]

just watched a 'flutter' video - it's all too complicated for a guy who is rushing and doesn't have time. Final question, where can i find someone to do it for me and i pay them?

or at least get it started

cos ive got a great little text based game here
