Re: [pygame] Dark Gates - pygame game on Steam.
Is there any chance you would make an older version of the code available for free download? From a couple years ago, even.

Re: [pygame] pygame.image.save(...)
My first instinct is that the first several frames' data is sent to your hard drive, where it's cached to be written, which fills up faster than it's depleted since the file size per second is higher than your disk can handle writing it. I had this issue myself trying to do something similar. If this is the case, saving as a smaller file size obviously helps, but could become a CPU issue, where I can say that pygame.image.save appears to be asyncronous (maybe only on some file types?) If it's growing in time it takes to save each time though, instead of just spiking up, I don't know.

The screen capturing is done via pygame.image.save(...). In my case, the surfaces that are being saved are derived from OpenGL framebuffer readbacks. I've noticed that the first few dozen or so frames save in a fraction of a second, while subsequent frames take increasingly longer. This, obviously, gets annoying. I do not know why this is. Can someone please explain? I am using PyGame 1.9.1. Thanks, Ian
Re: [pygame] Another blitting surface to itself crash
Actually, the SDL_VIDEODRIVER var is set to directx already, with either SDL.dll. Is that normal? I didn't change anything by myself prior to this.

Re: [pygame] BUG: segfault when blitting surface to itself
Is there some case where blitting a surface on itself might be desired or necessary? If not, I'll add a simple check that tests the passed surface on equality and let blit() throw an exception, if both are the same. Regards Marcus For scrolling (topdown RPG, in my case), I use a surface just larger than the screen to hold all my unmoving objects, tiles, trees, chests, etc, and keep a Rect for where to put that surface onto the screen. Whenever I move a tiles worth in any direction (lets say i move 32 pixels to the right), I need to blit the rect 32, 0, width, height to 0, 0, width, height and add the rightmost-visible tiles to it. My first idea was to blit the surface onto itself, but of course that blew up on me. My fix was to use two surfaces and just blit from one onto the other, switching between the two every time I need to add another row/column onto the screen. It's not really memory inefficient (I only keep one extra 672x512 surface and a pointer in memory), but it definitely wasn't straightforward, and took me a while longer than I expected to implement it. Blitting a surface onto itself would have been much simpler.

Re: [pygame] rc 3. please test windows installer.
As with Willem, .png's are still throwing the pygame error with Unsupported
imgae format .jpg files, are giving a whole new error now though.
a=pygame.image.load('left.jpg')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#5, line 1, in ?
a=pygame.image.load('left.jpg')
error: Failed loading jpeg.dll: The specified module could not be found.
This was after an uninstall of 1.7.1 and an install of 1.8rc3. (At the end
of the error line, '\r' character is drawn, being just a square, maybe an
IDLE problem, maybe an error with the error message)
Saving .png's and .jpg's no longer throws an error, and does save the image
(didn't check image alpha values, just the image being saved).
Appreciate the hard work over this holiday time!

Hi,
this one fixes the problem on windows not loading jpg, and png images.
Hopefully this should be the last rc.
Cheers,
I'm sorry but it still doesn't work for me. I'm using Python 2.4.3 on
Windows XP Home. With the rc3 still get the Unsupported image format
error. But when I revert to the 1.7.1 it works again. I tried deleting
pygame folder on sites-packages and reinstalling but no luck.
Could it be a dependency problem? What possible check could i do to
know why it's failing?
Thanks for the hard work and merry christmas!

Re: [pygame] Pygame 1.8 - PNG is an unsupported image format
I'm having the same problem. Anything I do with a .png file throws an
error. When trying to load a .png picture I get a pygame error saying .png
is an unsupported format:
a = pygame.image.load('mine.png')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#7, line 1, in ?
a = pygame.image.load('mine.png')
error: Unsupported image format
When I try to save a file to a .png, I get the following crash error.
a = pygame.image.load('left.gif')
pygame.image.save(a, 'left.png')

Followed by python crashing entirely This occurs when I attempt to save to
both a png or jpg (though I don't recall if jpg is to be supported for
saving in 1.8).
Specs:
Windows 2000
Python 2.4
Pygame 1.8rc(1 and 2)

Hello again,

Could you please try removing pygame from the site-packages directory,
and installing it again? Sounds like something fishy is happening.
Make sure you don't have anything python/pygame thing open when you
install.
I'm running on a Windows 2000 system with 1 gig memory. I have python
2.4 and Pygame 1.7 installed.
Per your instructions, I ensured no python app was running. I removed
pygame from c:\python24\lib\site-packages. I installed pygame 1.8 RC2,
ran my test, got the same error. So I removed the folder again, and
installed RC1 (which was 800K larger!) and ran the tests again. They
still didn't work.
I tried the same technique using RC1 only, on a Windows XP machine, with
the same results. Then I restarted the XP machine, had the same results.
I saw Lenard Lindstrom had the same problem. What sort of machine are
you running on, Lenard?
Maybe it's a problem in the Python 2.4 version only. Did the people that
ran it successfully, have python 2.4, or python 2.5?

Re: [pygame] Checking For Pygame
The somewhat simple solution I would think would be: if 'pygame' in dir()I suppose this would assume that the proper pygame module is being imported, and that somewhere it doesn't say pygame = None or something of that sort. But if you trust/know 100% of the code that pygame is only defined with the import (of the proper module), then is there anything wrong with that way of checking? On 10/14/06, Farai Aschwanden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I never tested it but you can try this:try: calling simple pygame functionexcept: # ImportError import pygameAnd Im also not sure about this (prove me wrong ;) ): If you create later on a py2exe or py2app it will be remove all the same modules toone, so the same module will not be loaded more than once.

IDLE runs your code in the same operating system process, which means that anything that crashes your code may crash IDLE, too, and also changes the behavior of your code as with sys.exit().
