The origin of Word 'Relative' is the same as 'Relativity' (Einstein). It means 'Related to...' or 'In relation with'. So our uncles, aunts and grandparents are related to us, so for extensión, the word 'Relatives' has the meaning of close familiars.
On the other hand, even now, the word has its first significance of 'Related to...' so the question they could made you, was if you had experience related to the matter of discussion.

They're trying to weed out the wannabes by asking you to filter your experience to just the parts that are related to what they'll be having you do for them. Its a bit narrow minded of them as experience gained in one arena may somewhat apply to their arena.
For example, OO design. It doesn't matter much which language you implement your designs in, but its hard for you to justify including experience in another language they don't use.
Then there's always the leaky abstractions that we use. For example, C# and the .NET library. Its built on top of Win32 API, and occasionally there's a little bit that leaks through. If you know Win32 API, it merely anachronistic. If you don't, its magic voodoo. Does that make Win32 API experience relevant to C# or not?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Hi coders,
I am in a task of development an open source 3D Maze for scientific purposes.
Which one is better to make a 3D game and why?
edit:
additional info: i code in both of them, and might even consider learning c++ (to which i have a rudimentary undersstanding)
Being open source, the code should be open and readable
I've done a 3d maze previously with pygame, i was thinking of upgrading to something better because graphics look too "outdated" (link)
Another "feature" this must have is to execute easily. Like double clicking the jar, or in terminal "python program.py" ; not to require too much external libraries
Any of your opinions is very welcome , even funny ones

Odd question...
Isn't that kind of like asking whether to use crayons or magic markers to write a thesis paper?
Granted, I've been kind of avoiding Java for the past decade, but isn't C/C++ still the go-to language for 3D games? I mean, I wouldn't try to port Doom to WPF

Oh go on! (It's been ported almost everywhere else - I have an Android version on my tablet)

Ya know, now that I think about it, it's probably doable...
But only because it's a 20-year-old game.
I just need to figure out how to pull the graphics from the WAD files... Ahh, WAD files... Remembering how I used to write Doom and D3D levels... Such a horrible format, but still fun...

...and the HOM when you got it wrong...

HOM? Doesn't ring a bell... Granted, it's been 20 years... Heh

Oh, I'm sure you saw a few[^] - I sure as heck did! (particularly on the CD's that came with PCZone magazine)

Ahhh, holes in the map... Never knew there was a slang term for them... Yeah, dealt with my fair share of those.
They got even harder once Quake came along and it was actually 3D... Instead of outlining a room, had to surround it with actual walls and make sure there were no gaps that'd screw up Vis.
Sigh... The good ol' days... Back when those of us with no artistic talent could still make cool things alone...

And those of us with even less could try really hard and appreciate even more the hard work everybody else did!

LOL, I love that analogy.

Magic markers ? Oh, please, this is a _thesis_ we are talking about.

Making games out of either is probably a bad move: Pythons will squeeze to death any player who tries to get through, and you can only make a 3D maze out of ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) if you freeze it. Which has two problems:
1) It will melt, and a puddle isn't that difficult to navigate.
2) It will ruin the and that is a capital offence.

That is like asking if you should use wood or concrete to build a house for scientific purposes. I mean: Without context, without any more requirements, it is kind of complicated to answer...

Are those the two languages that you are familiar with?
Is that why you are asking the choice between those two?
Minecraft is written in JAVA, so for a fairly simple maze game you should have no problem developing with JAVA.
As others have said, if you provide more context it could be easier to help you select the best tool.

Hi,
i updated the first post with additional info.
I initially didn't want to bloat up the thread with too much information but here it is.

Was standing at the bus stop the other day, when I noticed it was about to chuck it down. Luckily I noticed some branches of a tree overhanging a wall giving just enough shelter for one. So I stood there in anticipation and sure enough 5 minutes later it did rain. It was at that exact point,when I was so smug with myself looking at the other people in the queue getting drenched when the bird shat on my shoulder.
Now all proverbs are codswallop except "Pride comes before a fall", the bloke who said that first knew what he was talking about.

This seems to be a rather arrogant statement.

I've just upvoted you. Hopefully you will be proud of this.

I used to be a pride man like you...
but then I took a shat to the shoulder...
But remember to "always look on the bride side of life"
