Re: [pygame] 3D/2D sound?
Well, if you don't mind the ridiculously late post, I've heard many good things about OpenAL. I say go for it.

Re: [pygame] Making a moving character in Pygame
One of the ones that interested me was the one in the pyraider gamelet up on the pygame website. Sounds like a perfectly good starting point. -Dave "What's the best pizza?" LeCompte OK. Let's go with that then. The thing that puzzles me is what the advantage (or disadvantage) of those miniature def statements for deciding which way the player is moving. I'm interested in this, and I'd like to help, but I don't want to have to go to the site, find the game, look through the code, and try to understand what you're talking about, so if you could send a snippet of the relevant parts I or another could probably elaborate on the statements you question. -Luke

I don't think it would be worth complaining this much about it... I'm pretty sure you need to compile them with the same compiler that the Python interpreter was compiled with. On Linux this is gcc or g++ or whatever, so it's no problem. On Windows, I think they used VS 6 for 2.3, .NET 2003 for 2.4 and .NET 2005 for 2.5. Or something like that. Anyway, so that's the first obstacle - getting a copy of the compiler. Then, there's no Yum or Apt or anything on Windows, so you have to browse the internets and get all the dependencies. Also there's no makefile so you'd have to know how to set up the compiler. If you had the right compiler it probably would take a couple of hours if you hadn't compiled a python package before. That's just my speculation and I really don't know that much about it. -Luke

[pygame] Making a moving character in Pygame
So... I've seen it done in like a billion ways, but I don't know which way is the best. So, if I wanted to make a character move like in an arcade shoot-em-up game how would I do that? I've seen many different ways already but I want to know what you guys recommend. One of the ones that interested me was the one in the pyraider gamelet up on the pygame website.

> If you search music for your pygame projects, please take a look at: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%22Gerald%20Pink%22 I went there and I'm impressed. I'll definitely use some of those loops for my projects. > What can i do to make my friends music more popular for programmers ? Music quality is paramount. Loops are important too. And categories to search the music is always nice (sci-fi, upbeat, percussions). Sitting and listening to tons of mediocre loops that are not suited at all for a game is a bore. -matt

Lenard Lindstrom wrote: Further testing shows the problem is specific to GzipFile. It has nothing to do with classic classes. So option (3) is worthless. Got it. GzipFile.seek() has no optional whence argument. pygame.image.load calls seek() with both an offset and whence, but does not pass on the exception raised by GzipFile.seek(). -- Lenard Lindstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[pygame] music for pygame (cc-attribution and cc-attribution-non-commercial) uploaded & questions
Hello List, I convinced a friend to publish his work under pygame friendly licencses. If you search music for your pygame projects, please take a look at: http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%22Gerald%20Pink%22 (i will upload more in the next days, just finished the non-commercial part) The "shorter" bits are licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ (attribution) so that you can do what you want with it as long as you display the artist's name in the credit screen. The "longer" bits are under licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/ (attribution-non-commercial) so that users are forced to contact the artist if a commercial re-license is wanted. As i now happen to be the person responsible for internet upload and promotion, here are some questions: Where do (pygame) programmers look first for music ? What can i do to make my friends music more popular for programmers ? What is the best way to encourage programmers/artists to contact my friend for more music ? greetings, -Horst
Re: [pygame] pygame is a disgrace
Idiotic flame-bait troll sharing his pain at the world caused by his obvious social and professional inadequacies not-withstanding... Having a pygame-1.7.1 python2.5-win32 installer posted on the pygame.org download page would be nice. I would appreciate the kindness of those involved in sharing the product of their work to save me time & energy. So could Sami's installer go up there?
