Newbie project - Zapper - Jan-06-2019
Hi group
I am a newbie but want to aim at a project to learn python and I have an idea for a project that will require rectangle tiles that can have text written on or pictures inserted on or both and then the tiles can be slide around / arranged on the screen in a window, the idea is that they can be arranged via selecting with a finger on the iPad and then dragged around and into position.
I would also like the edges of the rectangles to be able to snap together as if they are magnetic.
A) is this possible?
B) where do I start?
Thanks in advance zapper

A) Yes it's possible. BUT! And please remember that I love Python a lot when I say this. You'll have a lot of extra work to do. Python+game+ipad is a combination that should probably be avoided if you don't already know a lot about Python or game programming in general. The easiest way to go from nothing to game, would be to either write it in Swift, or to use a game engine that can export to iOS (such as Unity, Unreal, or Godot).
B) If you still want to use python, I'd recommend using Kivy (https://kivy.org).
