[pygame] spritecollide() right way to check if not player ?
I have a couple sprite / pygame questions:
1) Is there a better way to say ignore player ( who is in the group )
but check for collision on the rest? ) Meaning when I iterate the unit
list, One time the current unit is the player himself.
It might seem easier in this case to remove player from sprites, but
what about when you do enemies on enemies collision? In that case they
cannot be removed.
class Unit(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
basic Sprite() with sound on .kill
# ...
def die(self):
self.kill()
play_sound('kaboom')
class Game():
def __init__(self):
# group of all drawn sprites.
self.sprites = pygame.sprite.RenderPlain()
self.player = Unit()
self.sprites.add(self.player)
def main_loop(self)
for s in pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player,
self.sprites, False):
if s == self.player: continue
s.die()
2) I am looping enemies collision with anything, and I act differently
on items,health, or enemies.
What is the best way to check type? Something like:
# collide: enemies on anything
for e in self.enemies:
for s in pygame.sprite.spritecollide(e, self.sprites, False):
e.oncollide(s)
s.oncollide(e)
# and the function:
def oncollide(self, other):
if isinstance(other, Enemy): self.damage(other.amount)
elif isinstance(other, Health): self.heal()
elif isinstance(other, Ammo): self.ammo += 10
3) Is it better to separate my collision checks? Assuming I am doing
the same amount of total collision checks:
[ Or no point in worrying about this, ie: either I need QuadTree or I don't ? ]
for u in units:
for s in spritecollide(u, units)
if isinstance(s, Enemy): #...
elif isinstance(s, Item): #...
VS
for s in spritecollide(player, enemies):
# ...
for s in spritecollide(player, items):
# ...

Our target is to get different styles for the site. Than, we could vote a default style and registered users can change that in their profile settings. The current design came up from the first version, that was more a retro style with even more green. Then, Devon improved it a lot and got the current, thats more a modern theme. A more simple style thats works also fine on older and/or slower browsers/computers/connections is planned.

Re: [pygame] Pygame 1.9.0 release candidate 3 for Python 2.6 on Windows
main() was used to run an application from the command line: python -c from pygame.examples.midi import main; main() --list It was replaced with: python -m pygame.examples.midi --list pygame.tests does have a documented run() function that takes optional arguments.

Re: [pygame] status report
There is nothing wrong with colors, but on this site there are 4 greens and 3 yellows, I now that taste can differ from person to person, there is still something like esthetics ;) For now, I will stick to the classic theme :P Slu On 10-jul-09, at 17:27, Devon Scott-Tunkin wrote: Bah, I like the colors (Do you mean teal?

Re: [pygame] Incrementing the frequency of the Pygame.mixer with a Loop?
Hi, I don't know the specific circumstances that required pygame.mixer.pre_init(). But according to the docs (python -m pyagme.docs will display the docs in the default browser) the requirement was that pgyame.mixer was initialized after the display. So I suppose you can initialize pygame and the display outside the loop, then do pygame.mizer.quit() and pygame.mixer.init() calls in the loop. Lenard Brian Gryder wrote: pygame.quit() worked!
