Wiley do one as well (The L-Line, The Express Line to Learning - Game Programming) and I reviewed Will's book on my blog a while back. I have both but I never got around to doing a review of the Wiley one yet. Recently moved house and other hassles - I might get around to it eventually :P For those who may be interested: http://hamish.thepolarbear.co.uk/2007/12/01/book-review-beginning-game-development-with-python-and-pygame/ Paul Walsh signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

On a Mac of course you'd be using Preview and on Linux you'd be using kpdf. I don't know how Adobe makes PDF so slow. Richard
[pygame] PyGame SF meetup Monday April 7th 7:30pm Metreon food court San Francisco
Hi All, PyGame SF is an informal group meet up in San Francisco for Software engineers interested in python, OpenGL, pygame, SDL, programming and generally anything to do with video game development. The format of our meetings typically involve several people giving presentations on projects they are developing followed by group discussion and feedback. The meet up's occur once a month on the first or second Monday of the month at around 7.30pm This month's PyGAME SF meet up is on Monday April 7th at 7.30pm at the Metreon food court in San Francisco. This month's presentations are: - Andrew Turley "Making Games Quickly for Fun and Scotch". The talk will be about his experiences making Unicorn vs. Dolphin - Warren Stringer "Cellular Automata for fun and profit: a look on pixel effects with a focus on developing for the iPhone" If anyone else would like to give a micro presentation, show demos or just talk about what they are doing or generally give examples on anything to do with games please feel free to head along.

[pygame] help with opaque images
Hi, I have a game Im making using pygame and pyopengl using Ian's SphereCollide ( http://www.pygame.org/project/620/ ) as an example and Im trying to get a 'radar' on the bottom right corner; similar like the one here http://www.pygame.org/projects/20/178/ in the screenshot, except that page does not work anymore. What Im trying to do is get a 'radar' image sort of a semi-opaque image. How do I do this? Im not quite sure how to integrate pygame and pyopengl and this is my first time using pygame. Thanks for any help. Cheers Astan -- "Formulations of number theory: Complete, Consistent, Non-trivial. Choose two."

Re: [pygame] help with opaque images
In PyOpenGL, you'll either want to do a call to ortho, or set up another viewport. The viewport is specified from the bottom left corner of the screen (as opposed to the top), so if your screen is 800x600, then glViewport(700,500,100,100) sets up a 100x100 window for you to draw in in the bottom right of the screen. In one of my (currently unreleased) games, there is a 3D radar in the top right of the screen done this way. I've never used ortho, though...
Re: [pygame] help with opaque images
Have a look here: http://pygame.org/wiki/MakeOpenglDrawIn2D You can use that to draw using pixel coordinates in opengl, and draw in 2d. cu, On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 2:56 PM, Ian Mallett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In PyOpenGL, you'll either want to do a call to ortho, or set up another > viewport.

Here's an example: http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=42 you can download the Python source at the bottom.
Re: [pygame] help with opaque images
Thanks, Im not sure how more than one viewports work (I couldnt find any examples), so I think Im just going to draw it manually. Like http://vamsikrishna.v.googlepages.com/powerdefender Thanks again. Cheers Astan Ian Mallett wrote: In PyOpenGL, you'll either want to do a call to ortho, or set up another viewport.
