I've never did anythng like this, but I admit the game is fun, but flash is
F`n slow when theres hundreds of users online at once.  I feel if you code
on your desktop and distribute the code it shall work quicker.

So does anyone have any tips, any thing I should know before going about

Re: [pygame] Pygame Problem Solving 1

2007-09-13 Thread Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)
I'm sort of doing it a big differently, right now I'm just testing, but I
can tell if my mouse position is in the second square block like so:

elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
print pygame.mouse.get_pos() + (25,25)
print MAP.blocks[2].point
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
mouse = mouse[0]
block = MAP.blocks[2].point[0]
rng = mouse - block
if rng in range(0,25):
print "True"

snippet from my script. Since all the squares are 25,25 height and width
Theres an even amount so it subtracts the first tuple value in the mouse
position from the first tuple value in the block position then I check to
see if I ranged with in the width of the block to see if im still in it and
it works out well.  I'm getting to what I want my script to do :).

[pygame] [PYGAME] Noob Help.

2007-04-12 Thread Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)

Ok I'm just trying to get un-noob with pygame and python it self.

Alright I was reading on a tutorial from the pygame site located here:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/intro/intro.html
So I'm trying to find out whats up with this:

14for event in pygame.event.get():
15if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit()

So i've looked @ the python document for the for loop and im just trying to
figure out the event.get() array can someone tell me how we got event.type and
how does pygame.QUIT : sys.exit() work?


Thanks in advanced for the help.

Regards,

Re: [pygame] Firing bullets

2007-04-08 Thread Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)

Im a noob & all but why not just fire the bullet and destroy it when it hits
the object or hits the outside of the window size(max width,max height)?

Re: [pygame] "Nutshell" Simple Game Framework

2007-04-08 Thread Lamonte(Scheols/Demonic)

Ill be willing to try it once your done and tell me how it works.  Will this
be able to work with other library frame works? :D(me be the noob but o
well).

On 4/8/07, Kris Schnee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


I'm trying to build a game framework that's simple and easy to use, and
that incorporates the ideas of a huge game space and basic physics that
I've been working on. I don't care about complex physics simulations
like hinges, and am willing to callously treat objects as hard boxes
standing upright, on or above a plane. I just want characters that can
run and jump around in a game world and interact with stuff.

As a result you can so far make a game world with an object in it that
can move around, with the following code:

import Nutshell
w = Nutshell.BasicWorldsim()
w.MakeEntity(nature="Object",name="Pretzel",velocity=[1.0,0.0,0.0])
w.SimulationStep()

The collision detection isn't quite done yet, but motion is, it's
optimized for efficiency, and I'm going to build on the basic worldsim
class to get zones that can be loaded/saved.

I'm willing to open-source this if anyone's interested, especially if
people are willing to help with graphics/graphics code. My question is,
does it seem reasonable to build a goodly chunk of the game character
code into the simulation, ie. having RPG stats mixed in with the class
that handles the physics of living creatures? Considering the module as
a pure physics simulation, that seems odd, but since a physics
simulation doesn't really need a "Creature" class at all, maybe it's
justified.

[pygame] Pygame 1.8 RC1 don't work.

When i tried to install it on my Windows XP it stoped and said there
was an error trying to install this and I could report it to
microsoft. O_o.

Anyone know why it wont install on my PC. I have 1.7 installed so that
might be a problem.

a great job to get the release finished. Give the RCs a try and report any last

Two sentences should suffice so what's the point of this whole flame?

1. People who are used to mailing lists feel that MLs are superior and
require less time to read. (if you don't share this opinion then try
using an e-mail client with threading support (not GMail; sadly it's not
the required kind of threads what they support))

2. You can try with the forum but I guess a good WWW interface to
mailing lists would be a better choice. Something like GMane.org
threaded view but with posting support.

Hi Harris

Are you here to do any advertisements? Or do you offer a dev forum
and then it would easier for you to copy from your desired forum to
your dev forum?

I dont know if the following forum is linked to Pygame mailing list
(think so) but there you have a forum: http://aspn.activestate.com/
ASPN/Mail/

And now some advantages of this mailing system:
- No login needed like in every other forum
- You get the latest answers and questions automatically
- You can ask anything about Pygame and no one is telling you you
posted it in the wrong forum
- You dont need to start your browser, head to the forum, login,
search, etc. just starting email cleint

Andt now I have two questions to you:
1. Who are the "people" you are talking about?
2. What is your Pygame question? (if you really have one)
3. Do you ever tried out this mail system before? If so you might
realize that the answer tiime is decent fast.
4. Do you have any Pygame projects going and you cant hold the
deadline if you dont get answers all the time right away? :)

Please anser me ASAP

what makes you think that a forum would help with getting questions
answered "right away" compared to a mailing list?

In my opinion, an email to a mailing list is read much sooner and more
reliably than any forum posts. Plus I've never seen a forum that I
didn't think was mostly off-topic.

I'm curious too, do you have questions about using pygame that you
want answered? If so, why don't you go ahead and ask them on the
mailing list and see if you get a good answer?
