Re: [pygame] Python and Speed
The way I speed up my python code is Ctypes. I just make a dll file in C or asm and then call it with Ctypes and presto. I have tons of speed at my fingertips. Just my 2 cents :)
[pygame] Google Summer Of Code
I like this project idea.Easy simple software 3d. Possibly tinyGL, and a few extra parts, or just something like a textured polygon drawer. Basically... model = load_model();model.render(screen, (0,0)) so are you asking us to integrate a 3D software renderer into pygame with an easy to use API? If so I would like to help out. will this be written in python?

Re: [pygame] MMX Transform for Win32
I just looked in transform.c and I haven't seen any asm code at all. maybe point me to a function name or a code line number
Re: [pygame] MMX Transform for Win32
what is this MMX discussion about and the transform function? If this is to do with pygame source I may be interested. but not to solely do it, just to give a rather small helping hand. I know intel asm but I haven't really gotten into MMX so this would be a great opportunity for me to get into it. So I might be able to help you do it Richard. Just direct me in exactly what it is :)
Re: [pygame] Texture for raycasting engine
Hi You weren't being too specific. so basically it sounds like you are writing a software renderer. If it's a 3D one which I assum it is, then I have heard of a good tutorial. this site has great help for those who are doing software renderers, just ask at the forums http://www.devmaster.net also tery googling for perspective texture mapping. Beware the math behind this is not the simplest thing out. But if you are just doing 2D then with a bit of thought you can work it out. I was writing my own software renderer last year in asm but I got sick of it and just moved to opengl.

Re: [pygame] PyDay #1
Sorry PyMike that was me. I was just trying to clear everything up just in case I enter something and am disqualified. A whole month for the next competition is a long wait when it's such an awesum idea for a comp. lol, if it was 64KB we could imagine we were olden day real mode programmers working with very limited resources :)
Re: [pygame] PyDay #1
so how do you stop someone from drawing in an editor, converting it to a string and then copy pasting the string pixel values into the code? Why not just allow all that but it is eventually gonna cut into our precious 32000 byte limit, so it makes it fair to use editors? coz currently I don't see how we are gonna stop people from cheating, other than believing in the common good in people. :) Um I have never heard of CST before, so I googled it but I can't work out what the time in South Africa is from what I read. Can't you just say like 7:30pm at GMT+whatever your gmt is?

Re: [pygame] Why won't pyopengl import
I am using a proxy so I ez_setup.py can't connect. Is there a way to make everything on windows connect through a proxy or is that application specific?
Re: [pygame] Why won't pyopengl import
It will import OpenGL works, but if I try any other things such as GL or GLU then it says that there is no module called pkg_resources. It is searching for the file in the OpenGL directory. So it's not a problem with python, its PyOpenGL.
Re: [pygame] Why won't pyopengl import
I tried that, this is only a problem on windows, my linux one does it fine. I have the latest python 2.52 and the latest PyOpenGL. I was just gonna use it to do a test between any two arbitrary quads to see if they intersect. But the thing won't load :(
[pygame] Why won't pyopengl import
I just downloaded the latest version of pyopengl for windows and it won't import. I type import OpenGL.GL #just like I used to but it says that pkg_resources was not found. I have no clue how to fix this
Re: [pygame] Help
btw Mirra is a 2D library, forgot to mention that.
Re: [pygame] Help
There is something called Mirra. it uses opengl for hardware rendering etc. You can find it here http://www.pygame.org/project/117/ I tried it out a long time ago. it was pretty good IMHO. And not very hard to use. But pygame already handles 2D graphics and it is relatively fast. Depending on what your doing. Also I have never seen easier event handling than that in pygame. Pygame has great functions for displaying text...
Re: [pygame] Per Pixel Alpha
ya I think blending is broken in pygame for python 2.5. Maybe just the windows version. I'm not sure
Re: [pygame] Per Pixel Alpha
yes I see what you mean. I just tested it on my machine and I had the same problem. It should be invisible with an alpha of 0. Try it with python 2.4 and the pygame version for that. Mine worked with that setup. I am now on 2.5 and it's not blending. Maybe a bug?
Re: [pygame] Per Pixel Alpha
you weren't changing the alpha value btw. the sequence for set_at is R,G,B,A you had 255,0,0,0try 255,0,0,128 http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html#Surface.set_at This link is right on the pygame site. This reference list is brilliant and explains how to use pygame very well. If you want to modify a lot of inividual pixel values really fast then use Surfarray. I can't remember if there was another method as well.
Re: [pygame] Per Pixel Alpha
this is slow and could be sped up quite a bit btw. just my 2 cents. use xrange instead of range if your just looping through integers. lock the surface before you start setting it's pixels with set_at. and then unlock it when your done
Re: [pygame] Clearing the mouse and keyboard state
I usually do this. #once a buttun has been clicked you can do what you want, setting the mouse state to not pressed but this is easier. while pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[the button] == 1: pygame.event.pump() this will loop until they let go of the mouse button, you may want to refresh the screen or something but do what works. Easy hey :)
Re: [pygame] Why does my ball vibrate?
a while ago someone said that the ball speeding up and slowing down "randomly" was because it was based on the time elapsed every frame and that time varies because if other tasks are being run then the cpu is executing both threads so it doesn't spend all of its time in your game. But then what workaround is there for physics simulations that are based on time?
Re: [pygame] Making Executable?

Re: [pygame] Networking?
Thanks for the options guys. I'll look into them when I find the time. But I don't mind low-level stuff if that's what sockets library requires, just as long as it can work. Surely there must be some good C/C++ library that I can call with ctypes? What about just calling the win32 api straight with ctypes to do all my networking? I looked into twisted but it's documentation is rather difficult and I hate libraries that want the main loop, I prefer the control.
[pygame] Networking?
I want to make my game playable over the network and if possible the internet. For the network it must support more than 2 computers and be realtime Would the sockets library in python solve all my needs?
Re: [pygame] Break outside the loop
your break is outside of the loop. if you run this: break you will get the same error because that's exactly what your doing, there is no loop to break out of.
Re: [pygame] palletized surfaces
well that was just an extra. But the main question is on palleted surfaces with pygame
Re: [pygame] palletized surfaces
thanks. But I think you are misunderstanding. I'm talking about palletised surfaces in pygame. I have a small pyOpenGL problem. On my python pc I don't have internet. I downloaded the pyopengl package on sourceforge but when I try and install with the setup.py script is wants to connect to get setupTools. But I have the package already. I thought of just installing from source but it doesn't explain how to build from source. :( . I am using kubuntu but I am new to linux.
[pygame] palletized surfaces
Hi whenever I am calling get_pallete it tells me that the surface is not palletised. But I have no clue how to make a surface palletised, I can't find it in the docs. Would surfarray be faster than using palletes to update entire surfaces? Should I use numpy, surfarray, numeric or palletes to update entire surfaces? (the fastest is the best imo)
Re: [pygame] blitting arrays/lists
well the idea is I will be updating this surface every frame so it won't be drawn just once. I'm just wondering if there is anything slow about it, like in opengl if your drawing to the frontbuffer it's slower than drawing to the backbuffer.
[pygame] blitting arrays/lists
Hi. I want to render an array or a list. Should I use surfarray or numeric. Also should I draw to a surface and blit that or should I draw straight to the display surface(screen)? This stuff isn't related to pygame but it would be helpfull: Will psyco speed up numarrays like it does with lists? Can python do pointers? These are some speed alternatives that I thought up but I would like to know if they are viable. I saw something about python buffer objects, would this be a fast alternative to numarray/lists? Also using ctypes we can allocate memory through kernel32.dll with VirtualAlloc(), is this a good idea?
Re: [pygame] OpenGL in Pygame
Hi Could someone please give me a small code sample of how to use glDrawPixels in python. I have so far: import numarray from OpenGL.GL import * from OpenGL.GLU import * arr = arange(1024*768) glDrawPixels( 1024 , 768, GL_RGB, GL_FLOAT, arr ) setup code and stuff is irrelevant. I just wanna know why this won't work after I have put colour values in it. Also ignore the fact that I didn't enter values for the array
[pygame] pygame-arrays
What is the best array module to use? Numpy or Numeric? For PyOpenGL I want to call glDrawPixels, but what do I do for the pointer to the pixels? How do I do a pointer in python? Which is better to use. glDrawPixels or Pixel buffers?
Re: [pygame] pygame
Ya but I managed to install from the rpm though.

Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
The massive repository is perfect. It has everything I need! All problems solved. wxPython too! although some of the files there are old. Like PyOpenGL. That's another problem too. But thanks so much guys for the time spent helping me. Thanks a lot.
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
ok the command worked. It installed sdl.src.rpm But sdl-config still doesn't work. On windows it's a good idea to restart once you've installed something, is linux the same? My suse computer doesn't have internet access, I am still trying to get it to use this pc's , windows, internet through my lan cable. But I'm still a linux beginner and it won't work. So using yast to download packages isn't possible. Isn't there a site which has this stuff so I can download it from another pc?
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
Oh wait, I found it
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
hahahaa I can't believe it. I didn't know. I thought I had to install from source if there was no rpm or run file. Thanks so much. I've been installing almost everything from source! But opensuse.org only has suse. No other packages? Or is there another suse site for packages?
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
No. I couldn't find an rpm for suse on pygame.org I just want pygame.
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
It says sdl-config not found. But I installed sdl.src.rpm and I have the source
Re: [pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
Thanks guys. The main question is still getting pygame installed. If I go to the console and type sdl it says unkown command. But I have every single package available from the sdl site installed. EVERY ONE OF THEM but when I run setup.py it tells me I don't have sdl-dev installed, I made sure that I have that and it still complains. Why is it so hard to install any python package, all others are easy.
[pygame] pygame- Installing pygame on suse linux from source
Hi I downloaded pygame source and I've been trying to install it on my suse 10.2 linux. It says I need sdl-dev when I run setup.py from the console with the command, python setup.py install So I downloaded, the source of sdl and the src.rpm and the dev rpm and the runtime. But with any or all of these installed I still get the error message. You should put a link on the site for the required sdl files. PS. How do I make python scripts executable on linux? (My first time using linux) How do I get it so that I can open with IDLE? running scripts from console is a mission Thanks guys

Python has a complete C API, so you can manipulate and call Python objects from C. You can make a .dll loadable as a regular python module. You import these like you do a regular .py file. If you are just making functions from C/assembly callable by Python this won't be too hard. The .dll needs a magically named "init" function. Python will look for this when opening the .dll. That function will setup an array of function pointers and strings. Python can then call those functions using the given names. Will I need to put anything inside of that init function or do I just leave it blank and let python do the rest for me?

I have some docs and tutorials, thanks for your help i will try making a pong game :) Altought i have no idea now how to do it xD 2006/11/10, Ryan Charpentier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: This is a pretty big undertaking. If you want to create an rpg in pygame, you'll have to program a tile scrolling engine, map format, map editor, battle system, dialogue system, and many other things. There's a lot of obstacles to overcome, and many different ways to do things. My advice to you would be to use a game creation toolkit like Gamemaker " http://www.gamemaker.nl/";. Most of the work is done for you, you just have to adapt it to whatever rpg you had in mind. If you really want to program games completely from scratch like you can with pygame, then try making some simple games first. A great first game to make would be pong, or breakout. You may not think that making a game like these would be challenging or fun, but you'll learn a lot, and you'd be surprised how good it'll feel to get a game completed. Once you've made games like these, you should be able to move onto more complex games, eventually working your way up to an rpg. It just takes perseverance. -- Best Regards. fedekiller Don't worry game development is fun, you won't find it hard.

Try making it fullscreen. If it still gives a distorted look then set the screen size to the desktop screen size, I find 1024*768 works best. Set the windows resolution and pygame resolution to that.

Pygame is ideal for a scrolling game. Go with the other guys idea to start simple.
