Thanks. I'm not sure that it does. You've created a wrapper, which does some
useful checking, but at the end of the day it still appears to make a simple

font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)

I suspect it is a path problem, but I'm new to python and am not really sure
how to fix it. In fact, I have just found that if I pass the file path it
does not throw an error.
Unfortunately I still have not got test displayed for other reasons I am just

it.

[pygame] Cairo + SDL
Hi all, Recently there was some talk of doing vector graphics in Pygame. Since this is a subject that is dear to me, I thought I'd ask how hard it would be to incorporate something like this into Pygame: http://cairographics.org/SDL/ I realise this probably implies a large amount of work, but I just thought I'd throw it on to the collective heads-up-display. Would be pretty wonderful to be able to use Cairo's rendering capabilities from inside Pygame! :) Best, Chris. --- http://mccormick.cx
Re: [pygame] Cairo + SDL
I'm pretty sure pycairo and pygame are already interoperable: http://www.pjblog.net/index.php?post/2006/06/23/144-using-pycairo-with-pygame-surface I think you may also be able to do something like this to do pretty much exactly what that page you linked to does: -- width = 100 height = 100 pygame_surf = pygame.Surface((width, height), 0, 32, (0xff, 0x00ff00, 0xff, 0)) data = pygame_surf.get_buffer() stride = pygame_surf.get_pitch() cairo_surf = cairo.ImageSurface.create_for_data(data, cairo.FORMAT_RGB24, width, height, stride) - ... but I haven't tested it On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 10:16 AM, Chris McCormick ch...@mccormick.cx wrote: Hi all, Recently there was some talk of doing vector graphics in Pygame.

[pygame] BUG: pygame.event.get(pygame.KEYDOWN) fails
Tested under Linux. (Python 2.5.4, pygame 1.7.1 release 4.2 from Debian) and Windows. (with a slightly older version of python/pygame) The code pygame.event.get(pygame.KEYDOWN) does not work correctly. If called in this manner, it will work, but only for the first 100 or so keypresses. After a certain point, the get() function will no longer return the appropriate events, and will instead return an empty list, no matter what the physical input. pygame.event.get() functions properly. Below is some test code. When running the first program, the counter tends to stop at around 120. The 2nd program, which should be identical, functions as expected. #Broken import pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480)) counter = 0 while 1: pygame.time.wait(60) for event in pygame.event.get(pygame.KEYDOWN): counter +=1 print counter --- #Works import pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480)) counter = 0 while 1: pygame.time.wait(60) for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: counter +=1 print counter
Re: [pygame] BUG: pygame.event.get(pygame.KEYDOWN) fails
hi, why this isn't working, is because when you pass in an event type it leaves the other events in the queue. Which means at some point the queue fills up, and no other events can go on there. It's not the nicest behaviour... but is working as specified. It would be better if it could tell you this was happening. Maybe with a warning message somewhere... I'm not sure the best way. Since, for some programs, this behaviour is ok. So I think at least a warning in the documentation for pygame.event.get(type) is in order. If you clear the event queue at the end of your loop, it should work. You can clear the events every loop like this: #was broken, now working import pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480)) counter = 0 while 1: pygame.time.wait(60) for event in pygame.event.get(pygame.KEYDOWN): counter +=1 print counter pygame.event.clear() #this is probably better... getting all the events off the queue each round. import pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480)) counter = 0 while 1: pygame.time.wait(60) events = pygame.event.get() for event in events: if e.type in [pygame.KEYDOWN]: counter +=1 print counter On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 8:38 AM, evilmrhenry evilmrhe...@emhsoft.com wrote: Tested under Linux.

Even some that are not, like panda games etc. Pretty much most of everything listed on the pygame.org projects section is in there.

[pygame] [GSOC] svn and compile problem with pygame-svn
Oi, I am installing the latest version of pygame on svn, so I can start coding on my camera module. I am installing it under virtualenv so I can keep using the stable pygame release for my current games. 1) I recently reseaved a svn account for the pygame svn repository. How do you sugest I use this account during the development prossess, should I use it to commit all my changes to the main brange, or should I make a personal brange just for my work on the camera module. Can I use my github account instead, if so, what must I do with the changes and bug fixel to the main pygame development brange. 2) When I try to compile the pygame version with help of the MacSVNCompile doc I get the following error: $ python config.py Hunting dependencies...

Re: [pygame] [GSOC] svn and compile problem with pygame-svn
I personally found/find it useful to use a personal git repo, and use git-svn to stay up to date with the Pygame SVN. You can use git svn rebase to keep your repo up to date with upstream and then commit with git svn dcommit when you have code that others can use/test/hack. There is a decent guide for using git-svn with github here: http://www.fnokd.com/2008/08/20/mirroring-svn-repository-to-github/ That is also useful so you have a repo to work in until 1.9 is released and you can start committing to Pygame SVN.
