Re: [pygame] Re: p4a development activity?
Interesting Tom thanks for the reply and I understand much better now. Do we get anything exciting with SDL1.3 ? Should I be really excited? Hell I'm going to poke around the sdl site a bit now and see... On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 3:51 PM, Tom Rothamel t...@rothamel.us wrote: Pgs4a development is limited by several factors.

SDL 1.3 brings multitouch support, I know that webOS and Android are both using modified versions of 1.3 which rely on this :D I am also hoping it has improved OSX support.

Re: [pygame] Re: p4a development activity?
Hi, pygame currently does not support SDL 1.3... since it still is not finished. I have started planning a port though, and maybe it's time to start the work. Maybe a rough port could be done quickly... but a good port should support both SDL 1.2 and 1.3 if possible... since SDL 1.2 is going to be around for ages. cheers, On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 7:51 PM, Tom Rothamel t...@rothamel.us wrote: Pgs4a development is limited by several factors.

Hey Tom, do you think it might be possible to post this on the ps4a forum? There are a few of us posting around these days and I think some of them aren't on the pygame list.

[pygame] Re: p4a development activity?
thanks to the recent pygame performance thread, I took a look at the renpy lemmasoft.renau.us forum. Looks like it's pretty active and PyTom is there... seems like the same or similar group. And an interesting tool as well... On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 1:20 PM, Sean Wolfe ether@gmail.com wrote: I've been hanging out on the p4a forum and continuing to enjoy myself with the tool.

RenPy is an amazing tool, worth looking at in its own right. Interactive graphical stories made easy. It is built on top of pygame.

Renpy is officially made for visual novels, but it's got a lot of advanced features that allow it to make quite a bit of other genres. yours truly armornick 2011/11/25 Miriam English m...@miriam-english.org RenPy is an amazing tool, worth looking at in its own right.
