Re: [pygame] PyGame GUI Database
I like the idea of an app that does this. I'm afraid I don't know enough wxPython to be able to help you in this matter. Sorry.Ian

This would be awesome!

Re: [pygame] PyGame GUI Database
Okay, No problem. I will dump C++ and use wxPython. I was designing the GUI in a XML based format called XRC anyway, so I don't loose the work I have done on that. If I get support from Phil Hassey for the commenting, then I will put that in also. I may even be able to persuade him to have a XMLRPC or SOAP interface to his website which would make development easier and more stable. Phil has already agreed to add a listing of every single pygame in a RSS format and add a field to set which file in the zip starts the pygame application.

I'm sure there's a few programmers here that have done other languages also, I don't mind if I end up being the only developer though. I will switch to python if the demand is there. I really need your feedback on if everyone wants this software? Definitely. I don't have a lot of time, and if I had a tool like this I'd test a lot more games. If you could provide some kind of automated comment posting, that would be even better (I.E. I don't have to go to the site, I can just do it through the DB program.) I really don't see why you're using C++ either. Think about it - you're writing a script that plays pygame games. You can make a safe assumption that they already have Python installed. So just distribute your py files, and they will be much much smaller even than your C++ executable would be.
Re: [pygame] PyGame GUI Database
Yeah but better than steam due to a number of reasons :-) I just want a small download so you can start using it quickly, py2exe gives a bigger download. I'm sure there's a few programmers here that have done other languages also, I don't mind if I end up being the only developer though. I will switch to python if the demand is there. I really need your feedback on if everyone wants this software?

The small exectuable I understand, but could you describe why you're thinking of using C++? I expect more of this crowd would be able to help if it were programmed in Python. -Dave LeCompte
