[pygame] When is pygame 1.8 coming out?

When is version 1.8 of pygame coming out? I went looking on the Internet, and saw lots of messages about 'any week now' dating back to 2006. What I need is a windows installer of pygame 1.8 that runs with Python 2.5. I don't have all the prerequisite compilers and packages to compile my own v

There is a nice example in Chapter 10 of Andy Harris's book: Game Programming, called adventure.py. http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~aharris/pygame/ It relies on his free gameEngine.py module and a free TTF. The source code is available from the above site. The game is an example of a "finite state machine

Sorry, Noah - I didn't mean to disparage your excellent work there - here is a link to an archive of your post with the files: http://archives.seul.org/pygame/users/Dec-2007/msg00125.html ...However I think to use that work you need to install macports and then work with your own ports file, right

Well, ctypes isn't as hard as I had feared. I've got an example running that blits some simple boxes and pictures to the screen. I must admit, getting it going did make use of my knowledge of the C programming language, tho. I couldn't use pygame ctypes, because most of the examples were broke

Re: [pygame] Ideas about storing questions/answers for a boardGame.

There's not so much difference in "editing the text file manually" or editing it inside a python program. Both require a similar amount of typing. Plus Ethan's suggestion already takes care of the problem in a much simpler way, and code is already provided.along wth his suggestion. XML is overkill

Re: [pygame] help: how to make a mac osx installer?

When running the installer I get this: "You cannot install pygame 1.8.0rc3 on this volume. pygame requires /Applications/Autodesk/maya2008/Maya.app/Contents/Frameworks Python 2.5 to install." The maya part of things is rather unexpected. Also is this supposed to work on the leopard system python?

Re: [pygame] help: how to make a mac osx installer?

Ah cool, thanks. That's obviously using the wrong python... (it's using the python installed with maya). This one isn't tested except on my system. So it's not likely to work very well. I'm new to osx installers :) I'll try making one with the python from here... http://python.org/download/

Re: [pygame] help: how to make a mac osx installer?

I'm not sure if we'll need a separate download for Leopard or not? Any ideas about that? I could probably provide one built with the system python (2.3 for 10.4). On Jan 24, 2008 4:57 PM, Brian Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When running the installer I get this: > "You cannot install py
