[pygame] Two questions

[Paul Vincent Craven]

Question 1:
Can we get an official Python 3.4 build posted? There's both 32 and 64 bit
versions here:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame

But I think it would be nice if the pygame website had them for download.

Question 2:
Has anyone found good instructions for installing python/pygame on the Mac
for Python 3.x series?

Thanks.

Short answer: No

Longer answer: Maybe one day. See also:

I have implemented some lines as sprites (the line is a link  
connection between two nodes).  Is there a way to do sprite  
collisions against the visible part of the sprite?  The line is the  
diagonal of the sprite.rect, and there ends up being considerable  
overlap... I need the user to be able to select a particular line  
and would rather not have to bring up a menu of 'all possible lines'  
they may be trying to select.


Don't use AABB rects for your collisions. Sounds like OBBs might work  
for you, or possibly lots of circles.

Thank you all for you suggestions.
