Re: [pygame] Sprite Code
Hi!
I use a horizontal sheet and just blit a rect with a horizontal offset and
then some code to advance through the frames. I was thinking of rewriting my
code as a pygame C extension, but I can't find the time. People have all
sorts of solutions, but they are all similar so maybe some animation could
find it's way into the pygame library. I'd use specific types to define the
animation frames and frame list instead of dicts and lists.

I've been looking at my sprite code again and finding a different way than
I'd used for loading animation frames. That is, Pygame.sprite doesn't seem
to have any way to set up the notion of having multiple frames, and my old
method involved loading a single sprite sheet image and finding a set of
rect objects refering to sections of the sprite sheet.
What I'm doing lately involves looking in a graphics directory
(\graphics\sprites) for text files, loading some info from those, and using
them to define the rects to be used from a sprite sheet image. The input is
some simple text files and the images. The output is a dictionary that
looks like this (for a sheet called guy having 4 rows of a 3-frame
walking animation):
{guy:
{frame_size:(96,128),image:surface 388x512,
animations:{ stand:[ (45,[(0,0,96,128),(96,0,96,128)]) [...] ]}
}
}
...Well, something like that! Anyway it's listed by sprite, then by
animation name (like stand), then by some angle that's used to determine
which frames to use based on the character's facing direction, and finally
as a list of rects marking the individual animation frames. (An alternative
method might be to use the text files just to say things like walk =
frames 0,1,2,3 and then automatically load frames by number only and trust
the program using this code to know how to use them.) With this code you
should be able to auto-load all sprite data on startup and then, for any
movement angle, look up which frames to cycle through.
Any interest in this code? What methods do you use to get your sheet
together?

I also want the files hosted on Hypernucleus's server and packaged in a uniform way. Anyone can run their own Hypernucleus repository, it is in fact more similar to the way apt, yum etc work.on Linux. If you don't like it, its tough :P I'm not recoding it.

Features like you mentioned are on the todo list for the website(and have been for a while, but we're slack, and the website seems to do ok already). More python game sites the better as far as I'm concerned. I'm just trying to correct the misinformation being put out there that non-pygame games are not welcome on the pygame.org website. I guess this should be stated more explicitly on the website. There's 10,000's of websites and databases out there to promote games. Another good related project would be a way to submit games to all the various other websites. So a library/program to help people submit their games to the various websites would be cool. eg freshmeat, happy penguin, pypi, debian, ubuntu, redhat, PAD file generation, etc, etc. If the goal is to help people distribute their games, then a distribution helper program and guide would be very useful too. I hope Hypernucleus succeeds as it might make it easier for people to distribute their python games. cu,

Re: Re: [pygame] PyGameDB coming along well
Hypernucleus has too many syllables in my opinion. But if it's too late, that's OK I guess. I would go with a shorter hyperNuke. Less of a spelling problem as well. But if it's already hypernucleus, that's fine :) I also think it would be cool if it could use pypi or even pygame.org as a backend. Maybe not at first, but more backends would mean that people don't have to worry about submitting to hypernuke, or resubmitting if their game already exists somewhere else. The problem with pygame.org is that the fetch mechanism is pretty loose - some people put a source, some put exe, some just link to their website where you have to find a download. So that would need to be sorted out. At this point though, I do like browsing the games at pygame.org a lot. But having one click to download and play would be a big added benefit.
[pygame] pythonCE, windowsCE pygame build...
hi, just to let anyone know who's interested... there's a few of us over on the pythonCE mailing list working on/discussing a pygame port to pythonCE, on windows CE. So far we have figured out how to do the foundation stuff (well other people figured it out, not me)... - get basic C programs compiled and running on the phones/pdas with cegcc. - build python extension modules. - build SDL programs. Now we have to do the final step of building pygame. Unfortunately pythonCE doesn't support distutils, so this is a bit harder. If anyone has been trying to do this themselves, and has any tips please join in on the pythonCE mailing list. cheers,
