Re: [pygame] Pixel Spaceships
Kris Schnee: Fun little exercise. Here's my version of the ship generator, attached. Screenshot: http://kschnee.xepher.net/pics/080305pixel_spaceships.jpg I didn't get the cockpit designs right in the way Bollinger did, but tried superimposing a smaller ship design atop a larger one to get a two-tone effect (not seen in that shot). Neat! The cool thing about the Bollinger pixel-based technique is that your bit pattern actually describes a *volume*, so what you're really doing is drawing a border on any empty pixels NSEW of the one specified. You then paint the interior with whatever gradient or pattern you're using separately. Bollinger did everything on a white background (I blame his desktop publishing background, which treats screens as paper (even though black text on a white background is like trying to read the label on a lit fluorescent bulb to me)). For the black background ships I just defined the border as same HSV pattern, but with the value cranked way up and the saturation down a touch or similar. This tended to make a more textured look, which I was quite happy with. I tried rotating a ship to build a list of rotated images, but the rotated versions are often larger than the original, making it hard to figure out where to place them. How can that problem be addressed? As others have said here, it's easier to make a rect of the appropriate size and then just set its center to the center point you want to anchor on. I still get wiggly artifacts with the rotation methods though (haven't tried rotozoom yet). -- N'aimez pas votre voiture? Nick Moffitt Alor, l'heure est arrive pour la brulé!

[pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Hi everyone! I am currently working on a raycasting engine using pygame for graphics. The engine works great and now I'm thinking about adding support for textures. The problem is that I'm not really sure to with modules and methods to use. I need to be able to load textures, scale then to fit and then draw the scaled image. Any tips on a smart way to do this? Good tutorial url's are also appreciated :) / J
Re: [pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Cool! I've been trying to do something like that...You can make each pixel in an image a rectangle in 3D space, but this is, I imagine, slow. Pygame really should have a function which scales an image to a four-sided polygon. Sorry I can't help more. Ian
[pygame] your game in the messenger
Hello
We'd love to include some games as a networked game in
http://retroshare.sf.net Instant Messenger V.04
Actually some python games are one of my favourite games.. so I adress to
our list.
some games will be the first games we actually integrate, so the interface
is still a little bit up in the air, so if you have any good interface ideas
please send them.
So the proposal for integrating is:
(1) Retroshare provides all the networking, transport etc
and provides a simple C or C++ API for your python game to communicate
with.
(2) Your game is compiled as a static library, and linked into retroshare
for
the moment. as we don't have a plugin architecture written yet.
(3) Retroshare has a 'GameLauncher' which will work out who's
online and organise the players, and pass that information to your pyhton
game.
(4) Your pyhton game is Launched in its own window in its own thread, and
has
complete control of that environment. It just uses retroshares API
to exchange messages with peers.
(5) you can have multiple concurrent py-games if the/your library can
handle it.
A rough interface could be something like (or a C equivalent) :
class GameInterface
{
public:
/* start / stop (called from GameLauncher) */
virtual startGame(std::string gameId, std::liststd::string
peerIds); /* in turn order (if applicable) */
virtual quitGame(std::string gameId);
/* send/recv msgs */
bool sendMsg(std::string gameId, std::string peerId, void *data,
uint32_t len); /* NULL peerId = broadcast */
uint32_t msgAvailable(std::string gameid); /* returns next
message length */
uint32_t recvMsg(std::string gameId, std::string fromId, void
*data, uint32_t len); /* returns msg len */
/* information for pygame ... */
std::string getPeerName(std::string peerId);
};
Is this approach acceptable to you? Someone interested to see his game in
the Instant Messenger launchable?
thanks for a feedback

Re: [pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Hi You weren't being too specific. so basically it sounds like you are writing a software renderer. If it's a 3D one which I assum it is, then I have heard of a good tutorial. this site has great help for those who are doing software renderers, just ask at the forums http://www.devmaster.net also tery googling for perspective texture mapping. Beware the math behind this is not the simplest thing out. But if you are just doing 2D then with a bit of thought you can work it out. I was writing my own software renderer last year in asm but I got sick of it and just moved to opengl.

If so, that's just pygame.image.load(), sometimes adding .convert() or .convert_alpha() for certain other effects. See the Documentation section of pygame.org for that. For scaling that's: scaled_version = pygame.transform.scale(original,(new_width,new_height)) Also, try pygame.transform.scale2x(), which doubles an image's size using an interpolation technique that looks a lot better than the most obvious way of scaling up. If you mean you need to scale a loaded image to a polygon in 3D, take a look at my Mode 7 code for a slow but usable example that maps a flat image to a trapezoidal ground: http://kschnee.xepher.net/code/mode7test.py Kris

[pygame] Google summer of code, and pygame. Where Google pays students to work on pygame.
Hello, We've almost got pygame 1.8 released! ya! Once that's done, we'll have to figure out what we want to do for the next release... but on another note, there's this google summer of code thing coming up GSoC( http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ ). It's where google pays students $4500 to work on open source projects for three months. This year 'pygame' will be seeking to enter GSoC as a mentor organisation. Rather than going in with the Python Software Foundation(PSF) like in a previous year. This doesn't mean 'pygame' will be a legal organisation or anything, the google SOC doesn't need that. We'll just be a rag-tag group of individuals acting as the 'pygame' organisation. Going separately from PSF will allow us to choose which projects are chosen for pygame, rather than allow the general python organisation to choose which projects are allocated for pygame. Other organisations that might be related to pygame are: - python - SDL - OLPC So if 'pygame' isn't accepted as a mentoring organisation, we can try to get some projects accepted under these organisations. We can also suggest projects for these organisations. For example we might suggest an SDL_webcam project for SDL, or a graphics types module for python, etc. So far Marcus, Phil Hassey, and I will be prepared to be mentors. These are three active contributors to pygame. Hopefully we'll have a few more mentors too - if suitable people volunteer. I'll be an administrator, and Marcus is likely to be a backup administrator for the 'pygame' organisation. Perhaps we can get a few more backup mentors, and/or backup administrators too. I'm putting together the application for the organisation at the moment, in consultation with the other mentors, and people on the pygame mailing list. 'pygame' needs to figure out a few things: 1. some cool ideas for projects. (we've started a list here http://pygame.org/wiki/gsoc2008ideas ) 2. where pygame wants to go next, and how google SOC can help us get there. 3. if anyone else wants to be a mentor, administrator, backup mentor, or backup administrator. 4. if anyone want to become a student to figure out what proposal/proposals you'll make. Put your ideas for projects here: http://pygame.org/wiki/gsoc2008ideas Also please discuss your ideas for projects on the mailing list. Here's the google Summer Of Code(SOC) page: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ How does a mentoring organization apply: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_org_apply mentoring organisations: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_mentoring_orgs deadlines: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline Notes on student allocations: http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/notes-on-student-allocations Notes on organisation selection criteria: http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/notes-on-organization-selection-criteria cheers,

Re: [pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Ray-tracing or ray-casting is really only useful if you want to make complex effect like shadows and multiple reflections, like http://www.openrt.de/Gallery/2002_DynamicRayTracing/Images/teas_kitchen1.jpg. If you're just looking for something 3D, use OpenGL. OpenGL is faster, and has easy support for textures. It is also pretty simple to use.

Re: [pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Thank you for your answers and I'm sorry for the lack of clarity. I've been working on the project so long I didn't think about the fact that the whole thing wasn't as clear to you as it was to me. What I am working on is basically a Wolfenstein 3d type of game. So my raycasting engine is more of a 2.5d engine. Despite my somewhat limited trigonometric skills the game acutely works and now I'm trying to get textures for the game. (And yes, will use using the original Wolf textures ; ) From Wikipedia: In order to draw the world, a single ray is traced for every column of screen pixels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel and a vertical slice of wall texture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping is selected and scaled according to where in the world the ray hits a wall and how far it travels before doing so. My problem is I'm not really sure where to start if I'm going to do this with images in pygame. So far I've only needed to used pygame.draw.line() so right now I'm rather lost.

This probably isn't the fastest way, but you could blit the desired portion of the source image just by passing an extra parameter to the blit function. Where h is the texture's height, texture_x the desired vertical strip of it to draw, and (x,y) the desired screen position: screen.blit(texture,(x,y),(texture_x,0,1,h)) That would blit a one-pixel-wide stripe of texture. To calculate which stripe to use, apparently you should find how far along the wall the ray hits, the easiest way being to divide the world into a grid like Wolf3D, and if it's 25% away from the left edge, set texture_x to the texture's width * .25.

I think webcam support would be good for the next release of pygame, that is version 1.9. Same with wiimote support. I think if we include new code with pygame that requires new events, we would increment USEREVENT, and hopefully that won't break much user code.

Re: [pygame] get_wm_info on linux
Well, I managed to get it to work by hacking pygame src/display.c :)
It is actually a string it is looking for, and I'm not totally sure
how the conversion works (not totally clear on what a void * really is
etc), but here is my addition to display.c that made the value usable:
get_wm_info (PyObject_* self )
{
//In the glx section
tmp = PyInt_FromLong (info.info.x11.display);
PyDict_SetItemString (dict, a_of_display, tmp);
Py_DECREF (tmp);
}
So now the info dictionary has a new value, a_of_display which I
assume is some kind of address.
In my python-ogre code, I call it like so:
self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode([opts[width],opts[height]])
settings = ogre.NameValuePairList()
inf = pygame.display.get_wm_info()
d1 = inf['a_of_display']
w2 = inf['window']
settings[parentWindowHandle]=str(d1)+:0:+str(w2)
self.renderWindow = self.root.createRenderWindow(
name,opts[width],opts[height],opts[fs],settings)
Surprisingly it works. It seems like it should be possible to get the
long from the PyCObject (info['display']) just as well as it was done
from the c code (PyInt_FromLong) but what do I know. At least I have
it working. Thanks for pointing out that file Rene.
