Re: [pygame] Tiling a Rotated Bitmap
Kamilche wrote: Hi all. I'm trying to create a rotated tilable bitmap out of a tilable bitmap, but it's not working. My first attempt was to tile the bitmap across a larger picture, rotate the larger picture, and then cut a tile out of the middle, but that didn't work - the resulting picture wasn't tilable. I see that the problem is a lot more complex than I thought, and I don't have a handle on how to do it. I would expect you could do this. You'll need to rotate the surface, and then blit it back onto itself 8 times with offsets. The offsets will be the rotated corners of the original image rect. There will likely be interpolation and small pixel seams along the edges. You could probably cheat it by bringing the blit offsets back 1 pixel? # rotate surface angle = 15 rotsurf = pygame.transform.rotate(surf, angle) # compute the offsets needed c = cos(radians(angle)) s = sin(radians(angle)) widthx = (surf.width() - 1) * c widthy = (surf.width() - 1) * a heightx = (surf.height() - 1) * a heighty = (surf.height() - 1) * c # the 8 positions, corners first positions = [ (widthx + heightx, widthy + heighty), (widthx - heightx, widthy - heighty), (-widthx + heightx, -widthy + heighty), (-widthx - heightx, -widthy - heighty), (widthx, widthy), (-widthx, -widthy), (heightx, heighty), (-heightx, -heighty), ] # apply the blits for pos in positions: rotsurf.blit(rotsurf, pos) This is all theoretical.

Re: [pygame] Tiling a Rotated Bitmap
there were 3 problems with the thing above --- the major problem was that sin cos work in a space where +y is up, pygame in a space where +y is down a minor problem was that the four corners will never be visible at all (think about the surface rotate produces - the bounds go through the four corners of the rotated image) a problem that actually isn't a problem (once it was tiling okay) was that it kept drawing over itself (rotsurf.blit(rotsruf)) also as a note, you can tile a rotated image on a rotated grid (as this code demonstrates) but their are complexities with filtering (as I mentioned earlier) but if you want to make a rectangular tile that tiles on a rectangular grid from your rotated image, then that is more complicated (unless the rotation is 45 and the original image square - which is what Aaron was talking about), but I would guess it can be done, but may result in a disgustingly large tile (you'd have to keep tiling the image on the rotated grid until the edge lines line up and cut a rect at that point) anyways, here's the corrected code import pygame import math filename=rMockUpMemory.png SCREENWIDTH = 800 SCREENHEIGHT = 600 def Rotated(surf, degrees = 0): # rotate surface print 'Rotated ', degrees, ' degrees.' rotsurf = pygame.transform.rotate(surf, degrees) # compute the offsets needed c = math.cos(math.radians(degrees)) s = math.sin(math.radians(degrees)) widthx = (surf.get_width() - 1) * c widthy = (surf.get_width() - 1) * s heightx = (surf.get_height() - 1) * s heighty = (surf.get_height() - 1) * c # the 8 positions, corners first positions = [ # (widthx + heightx, widthy + heighty), # (widthx - heightx, widthy - heighty), # (-widthx + heightx, -widthy + heighty), # (-widthx - heightx, -widthy - heighty), # (widthx, widthy), (widthx, -widthy), # (-widthx, -widthy), (-widthx, widthy), # (heightx, heighty), (heightx, heighty), # (-heightx, -heighty), (-heightx, -heighty), ] rot_copy = rotsurf.copy() # apply the blits for pos in positions: rotsurf.blit(rot_copy, pos) return rotsurf def main(): pygame.init() bg = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREENWIDTH, SCREENHEIGHT), 0, 32) quit = 0 pic = pygame.image.load(filename).convert_alpha() pic2 = pic while not quit: bg.fill((255, 0, 0, 255)) bg.blit(pic2, (0, 0)) pygame.display.flip() for e in pygame.event.get(): if e.type == pygame.QUIT: quit = 1 break elif e.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION: pic2 = Rotated(pic, e.pos[0]) pygame.quit() main()

Other angles will repeat, too, but like Brian says, they'll be disgustingly large. As in many, many times the size of the original tile. Aaron

Some of the new tile sizes will be large, but they don't need to be many, many times the size of the original tile. Really, it boils down to making a right triangle and measuring the hypotenuse to find the new tile size, and measuring one of the (non-right) angles. For example, a right triangle with legs of 1 and 2 yields angles of about 27 and 63 degrees and a hypotenuse of about 2.24, which might be small enough to be of use. Other angles you can use, with new tile sizes less than 10x the original: new sz X Y angle --- 2.236 1 2 26.565 3.162 1 3 18.435 3.606 2 3 33.690 4.123 1 4 14.036 5.000 3 4 36.870 5.099 1 5 11.310 5.385 2 5 21.801 5.831 3 5 30.964 6.083 1 6 9.462 6.403 4 5 38.660 7.071 1 7 8.130 7.280 2 7 15.945 7.616 3 7 23.199 7.810 5 6 39.806 8.062 1 8 7.125 8.062 4 7 29.745 8.544 3 8 20.556 8.602 5 7 35.538 9.055 1 9 6.340 9.220 2 9 12.529 9.220 6 7 40.601 9.434 5 8 32.005 9.849 4 9 23.962 If your eye caught on the 3-4-5 right triangle, that might be especially handy because it's a rare occurrence of a right triangle with all integer-length sizes. This might be handy if you don't want to muck around with floating point multiples (or, hey, if you're trying to lay out Lego pieces at an angle to a baseplate).

I've searched pretty thoroughly for a project similar to mine, and to date I have not been able to find one. There are a lot of implementations and projects dealing with 'research ai', but none that focus on the practical kinds of AI implementations that are used extensively as solutions to _other_ problems rather than interesting problems in their own right. In a way this is a good thing, since it allows me to differentiate my project very well from the existing body of work. However, it also means that it will be more difficult for me to find a mentor.

Pete's code wasn't complete, but after fixes for rotation problems it demonstrated doing rotated grid tiling (i.e. it tiled inside rotsurf). Code that uses a similar approach could draw all the rotated image copies it needed to fill whatever you needed to fill. ... of course it will still either have edge seams (if using rotozoom for rotation) or nearest neighbor artifacts (if using rotate) Do you spot a mistake in the app I posted? Well in particular it was still trying to do rectangular tiling, as seen below: --- def Tile(surf, pic, rect): x = rect[0] y = rect[1] while y rect[3]: x = 0 while x rect[2]: surf.blit(pic, [x, y]) x += pic.get_width() y += pic.get_height() you would never see code like that for rotated grid tiling.
Re: [pygame] mixer.music in runtime
Pygame 1.8 does have more dependencies than 1.7. It's been awhile since I used 1.7 but are not smpeg new to Windows. And are not libvorbis and libogg new to 1.8? Could py2exe be overlooking them?

ah, yeah. smpeg wasn't in 1.7.1 on windows... but now it is. So, yeah, that's most likely the problem.

Re: [pygame] mixer.music in runtime
The following are included in the main directory where the other dll's are: smpeg.dll libogg-0.dll libvorbis-0.dll libvorbisfile-3.dll libogg-0.dll mixer_music.pyd So py2exe didn't miss any as far as I can see. Since no error is thrown on import is there any other conditions that are triggered to make it not import the mixer_music ? Have you tried it yourself's ?

The source for mixer calls PyImport_ImportModule for pygame.mixer_music and then explicitly swallows the exception if that fails maybe you could try: import pygame.mixer_music yourself, and see the exception?
