That’s what I have always done. But I meant Jacob Kaplan-Moss literally said this:

It’s O(n), too!
Though one might also consider a much more efficient O(1) alternative that I would call “nuclear sort”.
Sublime Text 3 is my fave editor, just giving it a shoutout since it looked like they were using it in the video.
Java is a shitty first language.

I’m still partial to python for that.
I’m super biased as it’s my first language, but java is great as a first language. Afaict that’s all it’s good for is being a first language. It’s easy to teach a class in, and good for introducing people to basic programming concepts.
It’s terrible for actually doing work in though. When I was at RIT the CS curriculum was 3 years in java, and then the same 3 years done again in 1 year, in C++. In my case the assignments were exactly the same except in the new language.
Not a comp sci guy (BS in Screenwriting, transitioned into MS in information systems), but my first language was javascript which I think worked fine for teaching me looping, functions, identifiers and other core ideas.
The reason I think java is so good as a first language, is maybe a bit 2008 but it’s javadocs.
The language has built in documentation and it’s robust. I remember back in school going to C++ was a pain mostly because I had to transition away from these rigid and super helpful docs to like stack exchange posts for descriptions of what various functions did.
These days I believe documentation is just better in general. So maybe java’s kinda lost that edge it had a decade ago.
Mr. Redmon also has written some humorous commit messages and papers.
There’s a very nice Discord library for Python. I put together a basic Discord bot, and this library made the Discord part easy. It’s also a gentle introduction to asyncio.

Yeah I’m using that for my bot too.
How’s that bot coming? I got time this weekend.
Finals are soon. I literally haven’t touched it since the day we started it.
Good luck with that.

What’s the normal strategy for finding people to try out a computer game you are working on? I need to watch people play my game.
So far the only person I’ve had try my game project is my girlfriend, but due to the fact this is a first person platformer puzzle game, and she’s very much not good at mouse and keyboard controls, it’s super frustrating for her.
I can’t design a game that first teaches someone how to wasd and mouse, but also I want the learning curve to not be totally killer.

If you’re a company you hire play testers. If you’re indie, you get them from the community. That could be your own community, if you have a following. It could be a commeunity of game devs you are a member of. Then you playtest their games as well. Could be a community of gamers you know. Upload that alpha/beta test and ask people to download and send feedback. Use something like itch.io.
Side note. Half-Life 1 has a tutorial that teaches people WASD. So do many other AAA FPS games. The Half-Life one is where I learned though. Before that, I was doing it wrong. I played Wolfenstein3D, Doom, and even a little Quake with keyboard only. There was nobody to tell me I was doing it wrong.
