[pygame] my tutorials

2007-05-25 Thread DR0ID

Hi again

payback time 2:

In the past months I have started to write some tutorials for some 
friends. I think other people might be interested too and they do not 
help, if they are not published.

Here they are:

http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/DR0ID/pygame_tutorials.html

As you can see I want write more tutorials. I hope in time I will get 
there. At the moment its more an introduction on how to use blit. 
Further tutorials will cover more advanced topics as you can see.


To stay informed, do not forget to subscribe to the RSS feed.

I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks.

Same thing, it shows a bunch of sound related things and the timidity config 
file is the last thing on the list before "segmentation fault". Because it 
doesn't dump a core, gdb was no help either <_<

So how do I go about troubleshooting this?

Thanks for the input!

Maybe I can check the bit depth and somehow and then use normal line
drawing as a fallback.

Best Regards

Hi,

Thanks for checking the spelling (English is not my main language)!

You can use the Up and Down keys for setting the torpedo speed.

Best Regards

There's a typo in Tutorial 2: "nuclear wast pods".  And another one in
3: "cant".  Tutorial 4 also misspels waste as "wast".

A pair of keys for controlling the torpedo speed would be nice -- not
all mice have wheels.

Ubuntu 7.04, crashes for me, traceback is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Slingshot.py", line 198, in 
main()
  File "Slingshot.py", line 192, in main
g.main_loop(sys.argv[1:])
  File "Slingshot.py", line 159, in main_loop
part = game_part.main_loop()
  File "/home/mib/Desktop/Slingshot_rc2/lib/GamePart.py", line 1004, in
main_loop
pygame.draw.aaline(self.screen, (255,100,0), pl.pos.get_int_pos(),
(ax,ay),1)
ValueError: unsupported bit depth for aaline draw (supports 32 & 24 bit)

When I start to play the game itself.  I think my desktop may be set to
16bpp temporarily due to some issues playing a game in Wine

Hope that helps

Michael

Sounds very unlikely, and OTOH: strace is not a good tool for finding
segmentation violations. But you can try adding the -f option to
strace (follow forks) and see what happens.
