What is Motherhamster?
From OHRRPGCE-Wiki
For years, rumors floated around in the OHRRPGCE community about a thing called HamsterWheel. HamsterWheel was a new Game-Making project being worked on by James Paige and Brian Fisher, which is now better known as Motherhamster. The base game class in Motherhamster is named Hamsterwheel.
[edit] What is MotherHamster
Motherhamster is a python game engine built on top of pygame. You need to program to use motherhamster, but the programming is not so terribly difficult. Motherhamster supports built-in editors for game data, and makes it easy to create new classes that can be saved, loaded, and edited.
[edit] What is Motherhamster NOT?
Motherhamster is NOT an upgrade to the OHRRPGCE, it is not a sequel, it is a whole new animal. Motherhamster should not be confused with the FreeBasic port of the OHRRPGCE, nor should it be confused with any of the OHRRPGCE Source Ports.
[edit] Wow! So should I stop work right now on my OHRRPGCE projects, and switch to Motherhamster?
No, probably not. The OHRRPGCE and Motherhamster have very different uses. Motherhamster is a programmers tool, and the OHRRPGCE is intended for non-programmers. The only reason you might want to consider switching is if your Plotscripting is getting so big and complicated that it feels like programming.
[edit] But doesn't this mean the OHRRPGCE is dead?
The OHRRPGCE won't die until people stop using it. I have no plans to stop working on it... well, EVER. I have no plans to stop supporting OHRRPGCE users. Why? Cause I still enjoy it :)
