[pygame] status report
Hello, Time marches on, so some words about the current state of affairs. First, I've to say that Orcun unfortunately is not any longer in our team. Then, a slightly more delightful point, we are near at the finish! Only some minor points and improvements are left, then we can start a final testing period. Points left to do: Devon: * Complete the modern design before starting with a new one * finish form design * design administrative links like buttons (edit project, release.., ...) * ticket #5 * ... * update the trac theme to fit the current design (maybe ask coderanger at #pygame to help you, he did the current desgin plugin) Marcus: * get the current db and help to write convert scripts * convince the rest of the pygame core team * review templates * test the website, its features, admin functionality, etc. * help me with ordering/collecting ToDos and design decisions Julian: * well, I've to do everything else :-) I'll collect the hangover from my various ToDo lists and bring it to the wiki page. I also made a features list: http://pygameweb.no-ip.org/trac/wiki/Features In case I've forgotten anything please add it to this list. I hope to complete this project soon and see it running on pygame.org Regards, Julian
[pygame] [BUG] midi unit test for Pygame rev 2500, Python 2.6.2, Windows XP
Hi, The Python 1.9.0 rc 3 unit tests fail with the following midi related bug: == ERROR: MidiTest.test_get_device_info -- Traceback (most recent call last): File C:\python26\lib\site-packages\pygame\tests\midi_test.py, line 400, in t est_get_device_info raise Exception(repr(r)) Exception: None -- Lenard
[pygame] Pygame 1.9.0 release candidate 3 for Python 2.6 on Windows
Hi everyone, Here is the latest Pygame 1.9.0 (rev 2500) for Python 2.6 on Windows. Though the machine this was compiled on has a firewall and active antivirus program, it uses XP and is not mine, so take whatever precautions you feel necessary. The msi installer is: http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/pygame-1.9.0b03win32-py2.6.msi md5sum: e247f69466be1f847c875794cc01d173 There is no corresponding Python 3.1 version. A distutils bug, absent in Python 3.0 and fixed in Python 2.6.2, prevents compilation with MinGW. Enjoy, Lenard Lindstrom
Re: [pygame] Incrementing the frequency of the Pygame.mixer with a Loop?
Thanks for the reply Lenard, I tried your suggestion and the pitch is still not changing as the frequency increments with the loop. This is a strange issue. if I manually change the value if frequency before I run it, the sound changes. it is as if the pygame.mixer's parameters are Stuckand can't be changed during runtime. Is there a way I can verify that the pygame.mixer and the sound objects are unloaded before I restart the loop? Is there anything else I can try? Any links or snippet of code would be greatly appreciated. Here is the updated program - import pygame from pygame.locals import * from sys import exit #pgyame.display.set_mode must also come after the pygame.init. The display is not necessary for mixer though. -Lenard #screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600), 0, 32) frequency = 44100 while True: frequency = frequency + 2000 print frequency pygame.mixer.pre_init(frequency, 16, 2, 4096) pygame.init() test_sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(check.wav) mychannel = test_sound.play() while pygame.mixer.get_busy() == True: pass pygame.quit # do a pygame.quit rather than pygame.mixer.quit for each loop -Lenard --- On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 2:26 AM, Lenard Lindstrom le...@telus.net wrote: Hi Brian, You would probably have to do a pygame.quit rather than pygame.mixer.quit for each pass of the loop.

[pygame] ANNOUNCE: pygame1.9.0rc3 - almost last release candidate!

What's new (heaps of things since 1.8.1): http://www.pygame.org/whatsnew.shtml Summary of changes: - many, many fixes and improvements. The largest amount of changes has gone into this release than any other pygame release. - bug fixes for backwards compatibility issues introduced in pygame 1.8.x series. old games like solarwolf and libraries like PGU work again. - experimental *camera* webcam module (still in development). - experimental midi module based on portmidi and pyportmidi (99% complete). - experimental gfxdraw module based on SDL_gfx (including AA circles, textured polygons and other goodness). - python3, and python3.1 support mostly completed. Some modules still remain to be completed - but mostly it's working. - nokia mobile phone s60 support. - improved OSX support (dropped pyobjc dependency, improved installer, sysfont now works on OSX). - pygame.examples + pygame.tests included with pygame. This makes testing easier, and also makes learning pygame more fun and easy. - cleanup of examples, and addition of new examples. - new tools to aid in development of pygame itself, better compilation documentation. - py2app, and py2exe support improved. This should be the last RC release candidate before the real 1.9.0 is released... so if you find any bugs please let us know. Source code release (binaries at bottom of announcement): http://pygame.googlecode.com/files/pygame-1.9.0rc3.tar.gz(2.2MB) http://pygame.googlecode.com/files/pygame-1.9.0rc3.zip(2.0MB) Compilation instructions for different platforms: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/Compilation After install, it'd be nice if you could do a self test with: python -m pygame.tests Testing that your games still work with pygame 1.9.0rc3 would be a great help. Or test other peoples games if you want to help :) Some binaries below... for the build page... anyone able to make other binaries(nokia, windows python2.6/2.4 binaries needed)? cheers!

Yeah, maybe __main__ is good. Perhaps pygame.tests should have a __main__ function too? import pygame.tests pygame.tests.main() Since main() is what is used in the examples, it would be nice to try and keep it the same. But then we need to add a main.py and a __main__.py... ew.

There might be a workaround... One work around might be to make it into a module-module, not a package-module. Then have the module-module load the package-module into its namespace.
