Re: [pygame] adventure game toolkit released
Thanks, I'll put in a calibrator for those really fast game machines. Love,tullarisc. 2010/4/11 Dan Ross d...@rosspixelworks.com Hey tullarisc- When I load the example game it uses 98% of the cpu all the time. That seems like a bit much. Just an FYI.

Take a look at the code for making your own adventure. Love, tullarisc.
Re: [pygame] Creating sprites on the fly?
Sure Make a default sprite. Hold a list of sprites in a dictionary-like class... def __getattr__(key): if self.sprites.has_key(key): return self.sprites[key] else: return self.default_sprite -- Thadeus On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Julian Marchant onp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm somewhat new to Python and very new to Pygame, so please bear with me if I sound like an idiot.

Couldn't you just load a black rectangle at startup and use that in place of whatever sprite failed to load?
Re: [pygame] Creating sprites on the fly?
sounds like the point would be to have something to display in lieu of files being in the wrong place or non-existent. You'd have to do something like: create a pygame.Surface do Surface.fill()... etc... or use line drawing or something to create the sprite remember it for later, then if you do a try-catch block around your image load, a fail could then assign the default sprite instead.

[pygame] Multiplayer
I want to make an open source multiplayer game roughly along the lines of M.U.L.E. I've made games before but never done online multiplayer, so I want to ask for a nudge in the right direction. I'd like to spare players behind routers the trouble of dealing with port forwarding (I didn't have to do it when hosting Alpha Centauri games, so I know it's possible). Unless pgreloaded is far enough along and tools exist for Python 3 (which I'd prefer), I'll probably have to use the older stuff. What's out there for Python that would be suitable? Any off-the-shelf solutions?
