Re: [pygame] how to remove spam comments in pygame wiki
thank you! i hope soon being able to share snippets there, and learning easier from what will be find there! would be awesome! thanks indeed! :) On 7/28/09, jug j...@fantasymail.de wrote: Hello, We are still working on the pygame website rewrite. I'm currently implementing a snippets app that should replace the cookbook section in the wiki. The code is handled as code, apart from the description. Thus, you can download the snippets directly as .py file. Then, its easier for everyone (who has an account) to add new snippets, to find useful snippets and to remember them. Since comments will be reserved for registered users, number of spam comments and other waste content should decrease a lot. For the rest, we may have something like mark as spam buttons, so you can tell the site admins directly if you notice any spam. Documentation is another problem. I think, with the website rewrite, also the docs should modernized. AFAIK, The current system is something self-made that uses documentation thats already written in html. It blends htms and stlyle to one html file, so it is quite impossible to change the style or to include it to the rest of the site. I don't know how the comments work, but it looks not good. As well, it would be better to have some kind of api access or at least methodical urls to access documentation programmatically form the rest of the site, the apis or even the attached irc bot. I don't know about all the possible documentation systems and generators, but sphinx[1] may be adequate. Further on, I'm not sure if documentation should include comments. I think it would be better to use the snippets section to show really useful code snippets (we could link against them from the online docs) and for other stuff the wiki. If there is really sth. missing in the docs, it should be added to them, so also users who download the docs an read it offline should see these additions. Next (maybe pre-final) testing phase will come soon, including the new snippets app and much more.

[pygame] opengl from python - drawing wireframe shape colours and contour in the same time
hi! do someone know how can we draw opengl shapes with plain colour fill and outline, with different colours, at same time? a good example is what were used on the Area 4 of Rez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAncDNDsv7s , and some games from Kenta Cho (which also uses OpenGL) (sorry posting this message at pygame mailing list as well, maybe there are good audience can answer, and thanks in advance too) thanks!

Re: [pygame] opengl from python - drawing wireframe shape colours and contour in the same time
no, my idea is doing simple poly games, a bit like those 3d games from Amiga time (such as Robocop3 and many others) - very flatcoloured - but i really wanted so have the meshes wireframed - thanks for all useful info! :) On 7/27/09, Ian Mallett geometr...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, unfortunately. That may be a problem, especially if the object is high poly. There are more complex methods that use shaders. One of the better ones I've found is: Render the scene to two textures, one RGB and the other depth Apply an edge-detection filter to the depth texture (no edge = white, edge = black) Multiply the two textures together on a fullscreen quad. The problem here is you'd need shaders if you want to only have one pass, which may be overkill. (MRT to render to both textures simultaneously or storing the depth in the alpha channel of the texture). If you want to use fixed function, you'd need two render-to-textures; one for each texture--and so there wouldn't really be an advantage to this method over the original one. There's also normal-based edge detection, which I have tried as well. It's simpler, though you'll probably need a shader here too. This unfortunately suffers from line-thickness, which may or may not be a problem. You'd only need one pass though. HTH, Ian

Re: [pygame] sprite collisions - looking for simple snippet
@Zack - here is the smaller example i were promissed - http://pastebin.com/f65869385 - an idea about handling 4 players on one keyboard - a very fun experience i wished to see more common on Pygame games! ;) - it recalls a bit like those early 90's arcade games with 3 or 4 players on the same machine and playfield (like Simpsons, Ninja Turtles, X-Men, etc. - or even Warlords from early 80's) and sorry this example not being pythonic yet - from people used to code from 25 years ago, not knowing these new coding features, on an almost 40yo guy, this process of learning is not that fast - but of course, any help on showing what for are they used, how it works, and a theorical idea of how the Python interpreter deals with it, and being assured all the come doesn't became an undebuggable mess, is all very important and useful (all these points are very important for learning them) but there are still a lot of obstacles: for example, that tuples example you shown, mixing strings with integers (or floats) are hugelly confusing - but otherwise, example_list looks simple and interesting (assuming there are no differences between lists and arrays?) thank you a lot about all help provided! :) On 7/14/09, Zack Schilling zack.schill...@gmail.com wrote: Making code more pythonic doesn't necessarily mean meeting the PEP8 style guidelines, it just means turning the ideas that you have into code in the most direct way that best uses the basic features of Python. For example, python's basic collection, the list, is not an array and works best when you don't use it as one. When you want to iterate through all the items in a list, you don't keep track of how many items there are and step through those numbers to address each data item. example_list = [3,4.5,3,2,8.1,39] for index in range(0,len(example_list),1): print The number + str(example_list[index]) + is in the list. That's a roundabout way of working with arrays in lower level languages. In python, you should iterate through a list with this much more intuitive structure: example_list = [3,4.5,3,2,8.1,39] for value in example_list: print The number + str(value) + is in the list. This creates a loop in which each number or object in the list is substituted for value in turn. Another example: Instead of creating multiple lists to hold multiple related values of different types, use tuples. colors = [ (Blue,0,0,255), (Red,255,0,0), (Green,0,255,0), (White,255,255,255)] print Available colors: for color in colors: print color[0] One of the most important things in python is writing clear and direct code. Once you're used to it, the barriers between your programming ideas and actual code will start to fall.

[pygame] sprites in arrays, instead of simple variables
hi! recently i coded this humble snipped using sprites from subsurfaces: http://pastebin.com/f2b05bf70 the question is: it seems to be simple working with just 4 different sprites, one in each variable - but when they are hundreds or thousands, this task become to be very boring - can we store sprites into arrays instead of simple variables? another question: this example became slow when the ammount of sprites on screen are 256 or more, on a Pentium4-sse2 (i'm using Ubuntu Linux 9.04) - is there some way to speed up this task, and allowing as much as 1000 sprites or more for this? (i'm interested on trying to start coding those bullet-hell doujin shumps, and this snippet were for testing how many sprites we can count with for this kind of game development) thanks! :)

So just assigning the same surface will work for sharing one picture

(sorry saying this, but i got really lost with this url...) - it's a bit object oriented (and i know nothing about it), and the code is splitted between comments i don't know what to have in a complete code - On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 12:56 PM, René Dudfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hey, this tutorial kind of covers the basics of python with pygame... http://rene.f0o.com/mywiki/PythonGameProgramming cu, On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 9:12 PM, Paulo Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks about the urls - btw, i'm stuck on starting, anyway... - the programs are the links to the zipped files at the top of the webpage. Maybe a good idea is, for example, i posting some or another snippet (very small stuff in sdlBasic) at pastebin.org and asking you how does it can be coded on python-pygame? my coding style (if it can be named as this) is deeply based on hobbystic ansi-basic from 80's - i'm a bit unknown of definitions, but maybe it's procedural (i can't find definition from google)? is oop object-oriented programing, using classes, methods, etc.? i still know nothing about them, and having completelly no idea how to start using them... well, please take a look at my code and help me defining which style are them - they may look very amateur for academic and professional coders, but i were using them for my personal needs, and were working fine for me up to now... thanks!

well, more ugly code: this is about arrays and how can i get several sprites from just one picture: randomize xed=320:yed=240:sprn=32:maxspd=4:spram=16 dim xdr[sprn],ydr[sprn],xpo[sprn],ypo[sprn],sprid[sprn] for i=0 to sprn:sprid[i]=3:next wdwd=1 setdisplay(xed,yed,32,wdwd) for i=0 to sprn:xdr[i]=rnd(4):ydr[i]=rnd(4):xpo[i]=1:ypo[i]=1:next screenopen(1,xed,yed,0,0,0,0,0) loadimage(ubuntumarks2.png,1):pasteicon(0,0,1):screen(1) for y=0 to 1:for x=0 To 9:k=x+(y*10):grab(1+k,x*32,y*32,32,32):next:next screen(0) for xt=0 to xed step 32:for yt=0 to yed step 32 pasteicon(xt,yt,1):next:next while (0=0) for i=0 to sprn-1 bob(1+i,xpo[i],ypo[i],sprid[i]) xpo[i]=xpo[i]+xdr[i]:ypo[i]=ypo[i]+ydr[i] if xpo[i](xed-32) then:xpo[i]=0:end if if xpo[i]0 then:xpo[i]=(xed-32):end if if ypo[i](yed-32) then:ypo[i]=0:end if if ypo[i]0 then:ypo[i]=(yed-32):end if next i=rnd(sprn):xdr[i]=(rnd(8)-4):ydr[i]=(rnd(8)-4):sprid[i]=1+(rnd(spram)) waitvbl if key(27) then:end:end if '- esc key wend waitkey the picture i were using with the sprites were this one: http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/1572/ubuntumarks2jj3.png thanks again! :-) On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 5:34 PM, Paulo Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks! is exactly like that were what i'm looking for! :-) -- On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 4:51 PM, Brad Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A!

[pygame] phpbb forum missing at pygame.org website
What do you all think about a phpbb forum at pygame.org, where pygame coders can share ideas, questions, snippets, in a way some people (like me) used to use this as a more effective and direct way? there are lots of people used to enjoy much more phpbb forums than mailing lists... (even if some developers are known as being not so addict on phpbb, but this may be an easier contact for newbies, which are not too much into mailing lists)
Re: [pygame] phpbb forum missing at pygame.org website
for reading mailing list archives they looks fine, but for posting directly from there i couldn't find where we can post messages... otherwise, i think pygame.org webpage will gain a lot with a phpbb forum into it, maybe may bring more curious about, and sharing some ideas as far they are visiting pygame.org another fact is almost all open-source projects as known as pygame has a forum in their webpage, even wxBasic and sdlBasic thanks!

Re: [pygame] phpbb forum missing at pygame.org website
i'm one example of this - since long time mailing list exists (and i were using internet regularly for more than 10 years), and only now with gmail i'm getting enough 'courage' to subscribe into mailing lists - all the time i were (and will be for sure) much more addict of 'forae' (i'm not that good in latin language; is 'forae' the plural of 'forum'? ;-) ) as well, i think also is lots easier to point an url of a forum post than locating an url of an archived post of mailing list... and getting posters connecting each others by this way...

Re: [pygame] phpbb forum missing at pygame.org website
another thing is it's much more easier to reply a post from 2 or 3 years old on a forum than on a mailing list... - these situations happened also with me somehow regularly... - On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 10:53 PM, Paulo Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i'm one example of this - since long time mailing list exists (and i were using internet regularly for more than 10 years), and only now with gmail i'm getting enough 'courage' to subscribe into mailing lists - all the time i were (and will be for sure) much more addict of 'forae' (i'm not that good in latin language; is 'forae' the plural of 'forum'? ;-) ) as well, i think also is lots easier to point an url of a forum post than locating an url of an archived post of mailing list... and getting posters connecting each others by this way...
