yeah, SDL 1.3 can use an opengl video driver. SDL 1.3 isn't finished
yet... but is fairly usable at the moment.
At a guess it won't be finished for at least 6 months, probably more.

Isn't SDL 1.3 supposed to offer hardware acceleration as a default, then
have software as a backup? It seems like I heard something about that
before...

Personally I would love if there were an option to use hardware
acceleration (OpenGL) instead of software rendering. I know there
exists an option for that, but it doesn't work that well (requires
fullscreen).

hi,
Using pyglet your code won't run at all on many more machines, because
it depends on opengl.
pygame installs fine with binaries for the python available from
python.org. If you have any issues what are they? We'd like to fix
them.
cheers,

I think you mean:
while(1) {}; // c has parentheses!

I'm curious, In what way is Pygame currently sorely lacking in OS X
installation binaries?
What would you like to be different about the binaries here:

Pygame = chew up the most CPU resources
Pyglet = chews up 28% to 42% CPU (surprised that the low CPU use was

Incidentally, if you say "start_time = time.time()" when starting your
program, then get the time when ending, subtract start_time, and divide by
the number of frames drawn, you get an easy FPS counter.
I noticed pygame has functionality for this inbuilt.

By default, Python/Pygame will run as fast as the OS lets it, which means
100% CPU usage. If you want to avoid that, there are several ways. One is
to create a Pygame Clock object ("clock = pygame.clock.Clock()", I think)
and then, in your main loop, call the clock's tick() function with the
desire
for event in []:
print time.time()
event.get() will return an empty list if the event queue is empty.
With your code sample, this is happening many times per second thus using a
lot of cpu.
Only when there is actually events in the event list will the for block be
executed.
Stick the time.t

event.wait() will, well, _wait_ for single events while blocking.
