Yeah, you're right. When I started thinking about it, I quickly
realized that the setSomething API was ridiculous. I decided to use a
event system for switching sprites; here's an example:
hero.when(hero.running).setSprites('running1.gif', 'running2.gif')
or
hero.when(hero.moving, "left").setSprite('bankingleft.gif')
I think it would be a highly intuitive method for triggering actions.

[pygame] Pygame2 FRect bug
I was working on my rapid-development game framework when I stumbled
upon a highly suspicious behavior. It appears that an FRect's center
can't be assigned values lower than their original values. For
example, if you define a template rectangle orgRect = Rect(0, 0, 30,
30), create a new rectangle newRect = FRect(orgRect), and attempt to
set the center of newRect to values lower than (15, 15) (the center of
orgRect), newRect will remain at (0, 0) with its center at (15, 15).
Here's an example:
import pygame2
def startTest():
orgRect = pygame2.Rect(0, 0, 20, 20)
newRect = pygame2.FRect(orgRect)
newRect.center = (-10, -10)
print(newRect.center) # (10, 10)
print(newRect.topleft) # (0, 0)
newRect.topleft = (-10, -10)
print(newRect.center) # (0, 0)
print(newRect.topleft) # (-10, -10)
if __name__ == "__main__":
startTest()

I am calling it PyBTS (pygame behind the scenes). It includes a world

codebase, and change the type of Terrain class, and you get a tilemap

I would definitely love to revive the project, my goals for it are

[pygame] GSoC project proposal: Pygame on rails
I'd like to work on a Pygame-related project for GSoC, so I've been
thinking about possible projects I'd like to do. My favorite idea is
developing a micro-framework on top of Pygame to cut the volume of
code required to create a game within a well-defined genre. It would
revolve around assigning actions to high-level events. For example,
instead of creating a block like this within the main game loop:
if not player.reloading and sdlconst.K_SPACE in keystate and
len(shots) < constants.MAX_SHOTS:
shots.append(factory.createProjectile(player))
the game developer would write something like this:
player.setProjectile(Bullet())
player.setFireTrigger(sdlconst.K_SPACE)
Here are a few more possible examples:
# Set tile map for stage
level.setTileMap(tileMap)
# Set BG music for stage
level.setBGMusic("battletheme.ogg")
# Assign goal for stage
level.setGoal(flagpole)
The framework would have specialized modules for each genre; the
platformer module would have a simple physics engine and a tiled
background engine, but the space shooter module would have a way to
easily control the behavior of shots and enemy ships.The framework
would dramatically simplify the process of putting graphics on screen
and playing sounds, allowing developers to focus on other aspects of
game design, such as automated level generation, AI, and media-based
mashup games.
I'm really excited about the possibility, but I want to know what you
think about it. Do game developers need an easier way to create games?
Has another project already done this?

Last year, I tried to create a large example game to demonstrate several of Pygame2's features.

If you want your platform to appeal to beginning and non-geek Linux users, use apt-get to be compatible with Ubuntu; if your platform should be available to the most computer users (and you can find enough compatible pygame games), find the most popular Windows package manager (assuming there is one).

I agree with him that an existing package manager should be used to manage dependencies and packaging. It would be trivial to start a repository and add pygame and a few simple games. If a debian repository were dedicated to pygame and compatible games, an Ubuntu user could simply add the repository to his repository list (a simple file edit) and install the games he wanted. The system would be instantly accessible to most debian users. Of course, the GUI would simplify things for inexperienced users, but those with debian experience could start using the service immediately. The GUI could be cross-platform, handling the game installation itself if apt-get wasn't available to help. -- Evan Kroske http://welcome2obscurity.blogspot.com/ The personal blog of Evan Kroske, novice software developer.

[pygame] Pygame2 sdlmixer documentation contribution + error
First, I have written a new documentation page for pygame2.sdlmixer. It's not complete, but it at least gives enough information to allow a user to play a sound effect. I'm pretty sure I followed all the documentation conventions, but it needs to be reviewed for correctness before it's commited. I only wrote descriptions for methods and classes I'd used successfully, but I also added TODOs and generic call signatures to make all the method names visible. I don't think people should have to use pydoc to learn what classes and methods are in the sdlmixer module. Second, I don't think the sdlmixer.Music class is working properly. According to pydoc, it only has two methods and one attribute: __init__(), __new__(), and type. However, the sdlmixer library documentation lists several functions used specifically for playing music, not sound effects. Also, the Music class' C source code appears to list play() as one of its methods, but if I try to call the method, I get "AttributeError: 'sdlmixer.Music' object has no attribute 'play'". I can play sounds with sdlmixer.Channel() and sdlmixer.Chunk(), but not sdlmixer.Music(). Has that class not been implemented yet, or is this an error?

Re: [pygame] Compiling without SDL_gfx
I think I found the problem with sdl_gfx. I spotted a sequence of error messages that was preventing pygame2 from compiling. This was the first one: In file included from src/sdlgfx/fpsmanager.c:23: > src/sdlgfx/pggfx.h:24:27: error: SDL_framerate.h: No such file or directory I solved it by making a symbolic link from /usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_framerate.h to src/sdlgfx. Then, I got one from the next file in /usr/local/include/SDL, which I fixed the same way. I thought that the SDL directory might be tripping up the installer, so I moved the files in /usr/local/include/SDL to /usr/local/include, and pygame2 compiled with no error messages.I just don't know how Marcus didn't encounter the same problem.

Re: [pygame] Compiling without SDL_gfx
Okay, I've got an unrelated question about changing the pygame installation process. I'd like to know where exactly references to external libraries are stored. Somewhere, a file must mention the exact location of the sdl_gfx shared object library file, but I can't find it. Am I missing some crucial piece of information?

Re: [pygame] 7 failures and 1 error in test suite
Unless I'm missing some critical piece of Linux voodoo, there really isn't a
picture in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygame/pygame_icon.bmp. I
checked with ls -a and nautilus. No icon. I also tried running the test as
root, and that didn't work either. I think the icon was left out.

[pygame] Determining if mod keys are pressed
I'm trying to make a game with pygame2, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the shift and control keys to control the game. I understand that Event.mod returns a number that you can compare to the sdl mod key constants to determine what mod keys are being pressed. However, I also understand that you have to do some kind of bitwise operation to accomplish this, and I have no idea how to do that. Assuming that pygame is similar to pygame2 in this respect, could somebody give me a code snippet to demonstrate how to detect if a mod key is being pressed? Thanks. Evan Kroske

Re: [pygame] Better Python music playback?
Zack Schilling wrote: I suppose you're both right. Using just the mixer, I only lose two abilities: Starting the music from specific points and precise timing information. I can emulate the timing feedback using pygame.time.get_ticks and an offset when the song starts, but I'll need to work around not being able to start playing the song at an arbitrary number of milliseconds. I'm making a rhythm/combat/platformer, so the music and gameplay are closely tied. The biggest problem with losing the ability to start the music any place is that there is going to be desynchronization if the player happens to repeatedly pause the game. Each time the player pauses, a few milliseconds will slip by between pausing/resuming the music and recalculating the tick offset, regardless of what order I perform the two in. Eventually the music will desynchronize from the game. Can anyone think of a way to keep the music in sync through multiple pauses without either: 1.) allowing the music to play while paused or 2.) restarting the music on unpause. The music has to stop and resume exactly where it left off or else just the act of pausing affects gameplay. If the number of milliseconds that I think the song has been playing don't match the actual number, then the gameplay falls apart.

How does Frets on Fire work? Whatever they use seems ideal in terms of features. Thanks, -Zack Personally, I would avoid this whole problem by axing the pause function entirely. If the levels are only a couple minutes long, I don't think a pause function will be missed. If the game is all about fast-action combat and platforming, very few people will want to throw off their rhythm by pausing the game. -- |Evan Kroske Welcome2Obscurity.Blogspot.com <http://welcome2obscurity.blogspot.com> Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever. — some French guy |
Re: [pygame] Pygame Website Rewrite: First alpha version ready for testing
A trivial design suggestion: I think that you should give an indication of rollover on the main navigation bar. Right now, there's no indication that you're hovering over a navigation link except the pointer cursor.

How do I run it through gdb? I know gdb is the gnu debugger, but its documentation says it only works with c, c++, and a couple other languages that aren't Python.

Re: [pygame] App Store
Would the store really need to be specialized to ARM devices? One of pygame's main goals is platform independence, so it seems that an app store providing PyGame-based games would appeal to all Linux distros. I think this sounds like a timely idea that will fill a growing niche: the desire for games on Linux without installation hassles. Many more people would try PyGame-created games if they could install them and run them through a gui without copying files or using the terminal. Anyway, that's my two cents.

timmcilv...@talktalk.net wrote: Hi, I know its a basic question, but when I have downloaded some games from the pygame site that contain various files and folders. Where do I need to copy these files and folders to, in order to get the games to run? Just one more question. Is it possible to package a game written in python with the python language, pygame and an installer that will install the necessary packages on a users computer - the way you would install a commercial game written in C++? Thanks. tim PyGame games are incredibly easy to run. For windows, you just need to unzip the folder, enter the folder, and double click on the start script. It might be titled the same as the name of the game or called something different, like run_main.py, Run [The name of the game].bat, main.py, start_game.py, or something else. Just double click on the file that looks important. For Linux, you need to untar the directory, cd into the directory, and start the main script with "python [The name of the main script].py". If you can't figure out which script starts the game, just list the filed in the directory for me and I should be able to tell you which is the right one. Evan Kroske

Absolutely. I wrote a half-a-game that (so far) is basically a cellular automata (a souped-up version of Conway's "Game of Life"). It runs about 1100 cells, and is written in the most naive way possible, on purpose. I load separate graphic files to display cell states, and do some really not-performance-helping "talk to my neighbors" code on each pass through the loop. *It will run 15-20 fps on an OLPC XO. The XO has a AMD Geode processor, which runs a very old x86 instruction set at 400 MHz. I think it has 256 MB of RAM, and 1 GB of flash storage.

Maybe even on an OLPC. In contrast: Most game developer books I've ever seen have been nothing BUT graphics trickery code in obscure C or C++. I think they are *poison*, because they encourage what Kernighan and Plaugher (the guys that originally wrote UNIX) call "Premature Optimization." (And for the non-english speakers, there is a deliberate implication that premature optimization is just as shameful as premature ejaculation.) No less authority than Donald Knuth, the guy who is writing THE standard encyclopedia of algorithms, said, * Premature optimization is the root of all evil.* If I had to get a geek tattoo, that would be it. And I know Knuth would be way down with it. It's way too easy to get mired in the "developer fun" of counting fps and rewriting algorithms as obfuscated code that, when you go back a week later, might as well have been written by a Martian. (And, it will inevitably have subtle bugs.) Ultimately, all of that fiddling about is just *masturbation*, because nobody but you derives any pleasure from it. Games should be about fun for the players, and that comes from gameplay and looking good. I am a firm believer in expressive code, code that says things like "count how many of my neighbors have a state that is in this list of states, and of the number is between 5 and 7, move to this next state." I do that in 3 lines of Python. (I could do it in one, if I didn't insist on pretty code.) Doing it in straight-C is a nightmare, and even in C++ is fraught with peril. *So Python makes writing expressive code easy. And PyGame makes writing good-looking graphics code easy. (And sound, and keyboard, and mouse, etc.)* * * * *Here is my goal:* There are millions of kids out there with OLPC XOs, who will be able to download my game, and then start messing with it, and change it into THEIR game. Without a textbook. When I was a kid, I snuck into a computer lab and learned how to write BASIC, and how to issue the graphics control codes that caused the display terminals to make little animated "games" where $TEACHER gets run over by a tank.

Re: [pygame] PGReloaded installation problems
Hmmm... I have been having a suspicious amount of python installation problems. I gave up on Django installation after I couldn't get the python egg to hatch. I guess I'll try --purge-ing python 2.6, then reinstalling it to see if that's my problem. That would explain a lot... Evan Is that the problem? Or do I misunderstand?

Re: [pygame] PGReloaded installation problems
Huh, I've never seen that build-dep command before. So that's supposed
to fetch all the dependencies so that I can compile it from source? Is
that command necessary for programs to be able to run pygame?
To answer your questions, I simply ran
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
then tried to run a game. No dice. So then, I tried to install pygame
from source using this:
sudo apt-get -b source python-pygame
That was stopped by some errors thrown by apt-get, not pygame. I'll try
your command later today when I have some free time, then I'll try using
that for my pgreloaded problem. Thanks for the new approach.

What are you doing differently?

I'm getting a smaller error now, but it still says it's missing SDL_ttf. I've attached the latest smaller error.

Re: [pygame] PGReloaded installation problems
Okay, I just re-installed SDL_mixer, and now I'm getting a different but equally intimidating list of warnings (which I've attached). Is it possibly that pgreloaded isn't possible with my 64-bit Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex box? I know python's supposed to be platform independent, but maybe some of the dependencies aren't. I couldn't get the whole error this time because of the limited terminal size; do you know of a command I can use to capture the error output instead of the standard output?

[pygame] GSoC Proposal Review
Hi, my name is Evan Kroske, and I would like some input on my GSoC proposal: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2009/evankroske/t123863226991 I am applying for the pgreloaded example suite project, but I use "tutorial" to mean "example". As the project mentions, I'm a complete PyGame beginner, but I have plenty programming experience. @Marcus the Mentor Do I need to post a couple examples of my writing to be eligible for the project? Regards, Evan Kroske Future GSoCer
