Posting an event is thread safe, you will not need to worry about locking. I'm pretty sure you must still get events from the main thread. Getting events is very tied to the platform.

Re: [pygame] Pygame CTypes
I've looked at it before. The ctypes stuff was a bit over my head, but yeah it was very clean looking. I got an SDL window pop up and an image draw to it, but I wasn't returning sdl_surfaces right (or something) so I got some pretty bad crashes LOL The event stuff is pretty hard to do too :S For some reason I can't access SDL_Event, so you have to make your own event class. Bummer I'll probs pick it back up sometime. Right now I'm having fun (and headaches) w/ pyOpenGL :D Cheers On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 10:02 AM, Peter Shinners [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: pymike wrote: I still think it'd be cool to have a simple pure-python SDL wrapper.

Re: [pygame] Is pygame event thread save? or I need use lock to post user event in thread?
hi, Posting an event is *not* really thread-good. It will work, but will start raising exceptions if you do it from multiple threads. You can make a post function that retries on exceptions, but then you may get worse performance. Use the fastevent module instead if you want to use threads. The only main difference is that you can't peek at the event queue... which no one really does any way. It is designed to be much faster with threads, and is thread-good :) Using the fastevent module is much nicer, and I hope we will finally make it into pygame 1.9 as the default event module. I've done a number of programs using threads, and the fastevent module is the way to go. cu!

So I will refrain from making further changes to Pygame's configure and build system. It does what I need, work with the new Windows prebuilt. -- Lenard Lindstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[pygame] Ludumdare 48 hour, from scratch, game making comp. December 5th-7th weekend.
Hello, Ludum Dare #13 is coming soon!! December 5th-7th weekend. Ludum Dare is a regular community driven game development competition. The goal is, given a theme and 48 hours, to develop a game from scratch. Ludum Dare aims to encourage game design experimentation, and provide a platform to develop and practice rapid game prototyping. You can start suggesting themes now, with voting to start by the end of the month(December 1st 2008). http://ludumdare.com/wiki/start www.ludumdare.com - the super awesome website, refresh hourly irc://irc.afternet.org/ludumdare #ludumdare - the compo IRC channel, waste your time here http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ - the compo blog, be sure to sign up here http://www.ludumdare.com/wiki/ - the compo wiki, submit themes read rules here http://www.ludumdare.com/planet/ - the compo planet, read about our exciting lives here cu,
