Re: [pygame] hello and looking to help out

Concerning the pixel-perfect collision detection, I think that pygame could 
return more values than a simple boolean, like how much it has overlapped 
and etc.

I agree, but I don't think we need to change the API that much, just add
functionality from SDL2. Of which, there doesn't look like that much we
would need to add:

- Multiple window support.
- API support for clipboard access.
- Improved input device
- Support for 7.1 speaker output.
- Multiple audio device support.
- Audio capture support.
- Multi-threading improvements.

I think the only thing I would really like to see added to the API is
pixel-perfect collision detection, because doing that yourself in Python is
always going to be a bit slow.

Ok. :)
In fact, there is no objection at all. Just wondering if I could help using

It's easiest if you have one, and accounts are free. If you have an
objection to it, you can contribute by sending patches to the mailing list

Pygame does not include these kind of algorithms. You could use pymunk
or pybox2d
to have collision detection and physics
behaviour.

What I mean is methods like AABB, or others more efficient, that handles 
the problem of two objects colliding. 
In short terms, what happens to them when they collide.

Hola!

Check out the sprite module -->
http://pygame.org/docstest/ref/sprite.html

Also you can group sprites for different functionality and detect
collisions between groups ... also in pygame.sprite .

owait ... the docs root page doesn't have camera but the individual
pages have it. Looks like a bug in the old site.
Nevermind . . . . . . . . . ..

I think somebody removed Camera from the old site just a few minutes

Or maybe I am losing my mind ... that is also a nonzero probability.

What are the collision detection/handling systems implemented for pygame

Does it require a bitbucket account?

You can look at specific component tasks as well... for example, examples,
