OK Google!

Yesterday Android developers announced a very long awaited launcher called the Google Now Launcher available at no cost on Google Play. This launcher gives a more current look and feel to a stock Google phone. This launcher also gives accessibility to "OK Google" from the home screen. This means that from the home screen if you say "OK Google" aloud Google will pop up so you can tell it what to do. Google Now launcher made its first appearance on the Nexus 5 device from Google, but did not come stock with Android 4.4 so this is rather a big deal for any Android users who do not want to pay for a Nexus 5, but still want the look, feel, and capabilities(within reason) of the Nexus 5. The new Google Now launcher is available for download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher

Python Inherit Pygame Surface

Learned new thing about python classes recently. In order to create a class that is a surface you have to initiate the surface. This is done by doing the following.

class MySurface(pygame.Surface):
    def __init__(self, width, height, image):
        pygame.Surface.__init__(self, width, height)
        self.blit(image, (0, 0, width, height))

Python IDE

Kind of a cool Python IDE(Integrated Development Environment) if you have internet. Most especially useful for Python development with the new Google Chromebook.  http://pythonfiddle.com/

Introduction

I'm a teenager in high school and started coding when I was 15 using Python and a Raspberry Pi. In all of my free time I do lots and lots of coding. Recently I have started a new language, Java, in order to expand my knowledge and move on to more Android  development. I believe everyone who wants to, deserves a chance to program. You can find me on StackOverflow at http://stackoverflow.com/users/2605424/duhprogrammer13
