Re: [pygame] FastRenderGroup revised (update4)
Brian Fisher: We tested a lot of different approaches and tiling was by far the fastest we tried (in C++ anyways). In particular the fastest implementation for us was where each tile has it's own rect, and it does min/max ops on the cells rect to grow it to cover the overlap being the dirty rect and the cell area. Do you have any benchmark figures from these tests you could share? -- As I soared high into the tag cloud Xeni Jardin Nick Moffitt carefully put up for me, I couldn't help but wonder how [EMAIL PROTECTED] high we were above the blogosphere. -- Carlos Laviola

[pygame] Not Quiting
If I run a program with F5, it works fine, until I try to quit, at which point the program crashes. Oddly enough, running the same program by clicking on its file (i.e. double click program.py) the quiting function works! I'd like to use F5, but I obviously can't. Help, anyone? Ian M.

This is a specific problem that happens on Windows systems when you right-click a file and select 'edit with IDLE.' Basically, if you want IDLE to open its subprocess connection successfully (so that IDLE is not running in the same Python thread as your program and thus hanging when your program does the same) open IDLE from the Start menu, or from a Desktop shortcut. Then open the particular code you're trying to edit and away-you-go. A good indication that the subprocess is working correctly is that you'll see ===RESTART every time you F5 to run a program.

Isn't there a way to run the program just by pressing F5 in the program and not doing anything else?

Re: [pygame] Not Quiting
So what you're saying is run IDLE separately from my program (don't click on Edit With IDLE) and doing something. I don't know what you mean- cutting and pasting the program into it? It can't be hitting F5 because that opens a new IDLE window. What DO you mean? Anyway, that seems harder than just running the program by clicking on its file (i.e. double click program.py).

You click on File and then Load, then you browse to the directory of where your file is, and double click it. Once your code is loaded, you can hit F5 to execute it. No, this is not slower, because you do this _once_ when you start editing your program, and from then on , you just execute the code with F5. The only difference than how you're doing it now is that you start IDLE without the right-click. Once you're in IDLE, it works the same as before. You don't have to reload the code every time you want to run it, you just hit F5. -Luke

Re: [pygame] Not Quiting
By code I mean any program that works otherwise, by it crashes I mean I have to quit using the taskmanager and endtask, and by how I quit I mean keystate = pygame.key.get_pressed() for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT or keystate[K_ESCAPE]: sys.exit() On 6/30/07, Luke Paireepinart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ian Mallett wrote: I see the RESTART== thing but it still crashes when I try to quit.

[pygame] EuroPython, and pygame.
Hellos, if anyone else is going to euro python and feels like chatting about pygame I'd like to meet up some time. I'll be at the conference, and also in Vilnius a few days before, and a few days after the conference. If someone feels like catching up for some pygame hacking, that'd be cool too.
