Right.  I have a  version of that downloaded and I checked it before
contacting you...  For some reason, however, I missed it.  Anyway.  Thanks
for helping me- that looks like what I needed.  Will check the docs more
thoroughly next time.

Most file operations can be handled using the os module.
In this case, you can use the following:
import os
directory_listing = os.listdir("path/to/target/directory")

[pygame] Finding the current view settings

[Ian Mallett]

Hi,
I'd like to know how to get the current view settings.  The idea here is to
set the screen dimensions for fullscreen based on the display settings
already in place before the game starts.  Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
Ian

Perhaps.  They're those things that look like cross-sections.  See attached
for what I made them look like.

I looked into Soya. My trouble with that engine was that I wasn't able to
import new models into the thing, and that somebody mentioned having
trouble getting the thing to run.

There's also Panda3D, which is sort of a Python wrapper and actually
includes Python in its download version. That one seems to have its own
special EXE builder, so you can't just build your application your own
way.

[pygame] Rendering Text By Line

I'm doing something like that. I haven't yet gotten word-wrapping to work,
but the following out-of-context code does wrapping by line. It keeps
track of text sent to a class, and a list of drawing surfaces each
containing one character. When it redraws, it figures out where to place
each letter so that they're in order without overflowing the allowed
drawing area.


def AddText(self,text,newline_at_end=True):
"""In progress -- adding smooth word breaks.

Adds to a list of drawing surfaces each containing one rendered letter.
"""
self.dirty = True
text = str(text) ## Ensure format is correct.
if newline_at_end:
text += "\n"

self.text += text

## Add the text as rendered surfaces, one character at a time.
for letter in text:
if letter == "\n":
self.text_letter_surfaces.append(None)
else:
rendered_letter = self.pen.Write(letter)
self.text_letter_surfaces.append(rendered_letter)

def RedrawText(self):
"""Draws all current letter surfaces, automatically wrapping text
so that text doesn't go outside the allowed area."""
self.dirty = False
self.text_surface.fill((0,0,0,0))
letter_locations = []
LEFT_EDGE = 0
RIGHT_EDGE = self.cursor_rightmost_x
NEAR_RIGHT_EDGE = RIGHT_EDGE - 100
cursor = [0,0]

for letter in self.text_letter_surfaces:
newline = False
letter_locations.append((cursor[0],cursor[1]))
if letter: ## Ie. if it's not None (a newline):
## Move the cursor for the next letter.
cursor[0] += letter.get_width()
if cursor[0] > RIGHT_EDGE:
cursor[0] = LEFT_EDGE
newline = True
else: ## This is a newline marker.
cursor[0] = LEFT_EDGE
newline = True

if newline:
cursor[1] += self.spacing_between_lines
if cursor[1] + self.spacing_between_lines >
self.text_surface.get_height():
## Move everything up.
letter_locations =
[[l[0],l[1]-self.spacing_between_lines] for l in
letter_locations]
## Move the cursor back up, too.
cursor[1] -= self.spacing_between_lines

## Now, actually put the letter surfaces onto my drawing surface.
for n in range(len(self.text_letter_surfaces)):
if self.text_letter_surfaces[n]:

self.text_surface.blit(self.text_letter_surfaces[n],letter_locations[n])

## Clean up: Delete characters that aren't visible, for next time.
top = 0 - self.spacing_between_lines
if letter_locations and letter_locations[0][1] <= top:
n = 0
last = len(letter_locations)-1
while letter_locations[n][1] <= top and n < last:
n += 1
self.text_letter_surfaces = self.text_letter_surfaces[n:]
self.text = self.text[n:]

You'll need to be able to compile subversion pygame.

Awesome. I'll go try it right now!

The current version of Opioid2D is built on top of pygame, so that you
use the O2D API for on-screen graphics and regular pygame APIs for
sound effects, joysticks, off-screen surfaces etc.

The display is always in opengl mode, so you can't blit or draw
directly to the screen with pygame when using Opioid2D.

Re: [pygame] Using PyOpenGL for 2D graphics

[Simon Oberhammer]

What I'd like is a stupidly simple textured 3D landscape with billboarded
sprites, maybe even viewed from a constant camera angle, with a
decent-looking skybox and an easy way to draw my interface atop that.




you might also want to checkout soya3d, it handles smooth landscape
generation from heightmap, billboards and has several predefined
camera-modes. doesn't offer anything to help you with the interface though.

http://home.gna.org/oomadness/en/soya3d/tutorials/index.html

I used it for a shooter-game. It's alright once you got used to the
sometimes strange nomenclature.
