Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
Just use 2.7. Python 3.2 not ready for productions.

Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
So 3.2 shouldn't have things made compatible with it because it doesn't have things that are compatible with it? Or am I missing something?

Perhaps someone else here knows more on the build state can elaborate, but as far as I know PyGame 3.2 for Mac doesn't yet exist? In my opinion, however, the world isn't ready for Python 3.2--not enough is compatible with it yet. Python 2.7 is plenty powerful, methinks. Thanks, Ian
Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
Can someone answer that? What Pygame, if any, is compatible with 3.2 ? On Jun 7, 2012 12:59 AM, "Vovk Donets" wrote: > You have a python3.2.

Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
You have a python3.2. Are you using Pygame version compatible with python 3 ??? *p.s have not used pygame for a while, so do not know is there even pygame for python 3 2012/6/3 Jeff Welch > OK, I'm not getting past your step #1. > > Can someone give me a suggestion about this error? > > > Python 3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50) > [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin > Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. > >>> import pygame > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "", line 1, in > import pygame > File > "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", > line 95, in > from pygame.base import * > ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (PyInit_base) > >>> > > -Jeff Welch > > On Jun 2, 2012, at 1:44 PM, Ian Mallett wrote: > > Hey, > > To check whether PyGame is installed, in IDLE, type: > > import pygame > from pygame.locals import * > pygame.init() > > None of these lines should throw errors.

Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
OK, I'm not getting past your step #1. Can someone give me a suggestion about this error?

Re: [pygame] I need the Noob wiki
Hey, To check whether PyGame is installed, in IDLE, type: import pygame from pygame.locals import * pygame.init() None of these lines should throw errors. If they do, you have an install problem. To make a basic window, type: surf = pygame.display.set_mode((400,200)) If a window pops up, great! Then, to get rid of that window, type: pygame.quit() As for basic tutorials, Googling "PyGame tutorial" yields this simple example on the second link: http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/intro/intro.html . . . and this one on the third: http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/chimp/ChimpLineByLine.html I personally find that the best way to learn is to just try to make something. For PyGame for example, making a Pong clone is a classic first project. Just find some example code and take wild guesses at what everything does. If you get stuck there's always this list. Finally, as for downloading and running on PyGame.org, simply click on one of the projects at right, and then follow the links. Ian
