Re: [pygame] Re: Need a lot of help with 'virtual' board game
There are several ways to do that - you could make territories be a collection of small tiles, or you could use some sort of polygon system.

Re: [pygame] Can I download all game source files easily?
I would second checking out pyweek - you can go to a list of all entries in a given competition, and download from links there quite rapidly. Older Pyweek's some people made large torrents and zips for people to download to relieve pressure on the server, not sure if anyone does those anymore, been years. Good luck!

I have been looking at a few of these, most seemed insufficient but I haven't seen that one, I will take a look. Thanks!

Re: [pygame] PYGGEL reboot
Yes, pyglet, being built on OpenGL, has support for 3d, but you are simply working with GL primitives there - it is not a game engine, rather a multimedia library, which is not the purpose of PYGGEL. You can do all those things in Pygame as well as pyglet - hence my familiarity with it still being a determining factor. If you are interested as the project progresses to contribute toward a pyglet port I would be more than happy to help with it though.

Re: [pygame] PYGGEL reboot
Sam that would be interesting. Seeing how rusty I am that sort of thing would be cool from my perspective, as I am just diving through every tutorial I can. Lucas: in regards to PYGGEL or to what Sam said? Last I looked (which has been some years), pyglet was basically similar to Pygame, just built fully for OpenGL for accelerated 2d graphics as well. There is nothing wrong with it, in fact there is a branch of PYGGEL that was redoing it in pyglet. I am personally more comfortable with Pygame, and considering I am relearning all of OpenGL basically, that seemed like a good place to start.

[pygame] PYGGEL reboot
Hey everyone, For anyone who used to remember me, I made quite a few (unfinished :( ) game engines back several years ago on Pygame. One of them in particular, PYGGEL, has been getting active again of late, with several people asking me about it and if I am still developing and things such as that. With all of this I have decided to reboot the project, using more modern techniques (at the very least not just using display lists for everything) - and I was curious if there was anyone else out there who would care to help out? I have been doing a semi-weekly (took a break over the holidays) video segment on my twitch stream (twitch.tv/ajaxvm) called "Let's Make a Game" - which has been rather successful, but otherwise, I haven't really done any game development (let alone OpenGL) in several years. In short, I am really rusty, so if anyone is interested in a Python based 3d game engine (using Pygame/PyOpenGL) - or have been looking for something like this, I'd love to here from you. Or, if you have any suggestions for features or libraries I could include to help make it work better. last I checked PyOde was still the best physics library, so I'll probably be looking to use that both for phsyics but also for animations of joints - but I don't know if there is a better alternative. I also would love to be able to find some sort of object loader that would load 3d objects that also include animations or something, as the engine in it's last state only supported OBJ. That's it for now, just thought I'd mention, and see what interest there might be in something like this still. Cheers, Ajax (RB[0] from old days)
