[pygame] pygame-website under development?
Hi, ist www.pygame.org still under active development? Does anybody know who is responsible? Is it Pete Shinners? http://www.pygame.org/wiki/todo mentions planned development tasks like a ranking system and so on. I would like to add one feature to the wishlist: a flag concerning the readiness of a game. There are so many games, thats great, but it is very complicated to find games which are developed far enough to be really playable. Best regards, Enrico
Re: [pygame] pygame-website under development?
That sounds like a good idea, Enrico. Often it isn't explicit just how complete a posted game (or program) is.

I think the version field can be used for this. On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 8:11 AM, Enrico Kochon ekoc...@uni-osnabrueck.dewrote: Hi, ist www.pygame.org still under active development?

Thus, my featurerequest was slightly incorrect: I ought to wish it was possible to search projects with a certain version. Netherless, the field version is free text, a version numbering system, or good default text choices (alpha, beta, release) are not given. By the way: there is a promising site http://pygameweb.no-ip.org/, what is this all about? Will it replace the offical pygame.org? Regards, Enrico

Regards, Enrico Yeah, I think some sort of search page using the version number would be cool. Searches where you can select = 1, beta, alpha etc might be useful. cu.

Yes, Alex accidentally created a second if statement when adding cursor control to his program. Merging the two if's in checkForHotkey solves the problem. Oh, and Alex, it is best to nitialize a global flag like running only once in a program -- assign True to it only at startup. Then when it is set False you know it will stay False. For the ctrl-arrow problem: on win systems the ctrl-arrow causes the cursor to move from word to word in a text editor (instead from character to charachter). This is probably a special event send on the windows message queue which pygame does not handle as far as I know. I tried in on Windows; no problem. Word movement would be handled by the editor, not the OS anyway. ctrl-arrow does the same thing in Thunderbird under Linux. So it is merely a convention (and one I was unaware of. Thanks). Lenard

Good point, but in looking at my first-ever attempt at Pygame (last year) I realized I use a simple while 1 loop, so that global is gone. In future, though, you are right.

When you run the program, and press ctrl-right as soon as the window loads, what happens? That is, what does the caption say? What about ctrl-shift-d? Or are you running a test program you wrote, not my code? I ask because, even when I turn off my screen reader (which I thought might be catching the keypress before pygame) I am not moved around like I should be. Pressing ctrl-right should display A 21, since ctrl-arrow moves you to the edge of the board in the direction of the arrow. Thanks.

And crtl-right arrow gives me B1 on Windows. I even had an extra window open for it to jump to if it was so inclined. Hmmm... Well, at least I know my screen reader is not messing anything up, or that it is not some fluke in win7x64. Thanks for the info.
