Re: [pygame] pygame-website under development?
Maybe this is complicating things more than needed, could be as simple as a
have a boolean set by the author using a checkbox. If: its
'not-usable-at-this-point-other-than-prototype' checkbox.
However, I think 2 choices isn't enough, that 3 is just right. [else, games
will 'hang' on non-finished because they are not super-polished, even if
they are playable ] More than 3 is getting excessive, where the values
become less distinct, less meaning.
listbox enum: {
very_alpha ,
# Very early, prototype/alpha state.
playable ,
# game might have few levels, but is playable.
# Not uber polished, not a huge amount of content.
mature }
# Lots of levels / content.
# Game has a lot more polish
Not sure how good version numbers will work, if they aren't normalized. But
maybe false-not-ready's in a search better than mostly-not-set-values?
There's also libraries. Could use same values: { very_alpha, usable, mature
}

[pygame] pygame-website under development?
Hi, ist www.pygame.org still under active development? Does anybody know who is responsible? Is it Pete Shinners? http://www.pygame.org/wiki/todo mentions planned development tasks like a ranking system and so on. I would like to add one feature to the wishlist: a flag concerning the readiness of a game. There are so many games, thats great, but it is very complicated to find games which are developed far enough to be really playable. Best regards, Enrico
Re: [pygame] pygame-website under development?
That sounds like a good idea, Enrico. Often it isn't explicit just how complete a posted game (or program) is.

Re: [pygame] pygame-website under development?
I think the version field can be used for this. On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 8:11 AM, Enrico Kochon ekoc...@uni-osnabrueck.dewrote: Hi, ist www.pygame.org still under active development?

Thus, my featurerequest was slightly incorrect: I ought to wish it was possible to search projects with a certain version. Netherless, the field version is free text, a version numbering system, or good default text choices (alpha, beta, release) are not given. By the way: there is a promising site http://pygameweb.no-ip.org/, what is this all about? Will it replace the offical pygame.org? Regards, Enrico

Regards, Enrico Yeah, I think some sort of search page using the version number would be cool. Searches where you can select = 1, beta, alpha etc might be useful. cu.
