hey gumm, you may or may not get better results with the process you describe - the resulting sound file will most likely be much much larger (like orders of magnitude larger) which increases the time it takes to load it from disk, so if disk is the bottleneck (as opposed to cpu decoding), the tri

Howdy, folks. I have a problem I've been studying a while and I can't figure out a solution. Pygame or SDL--not sure which--is pretty slow at loading sounds. For large sounds, like songs, this means significant pauses in your game; or very long loading times at startup if you have a few of them to

Re: [pygame] BUG: The behavior of the Group.has method vs. its documentation

2010-02-01 Thread Jason M. Marshall
I suggest that Group.has() and Group.has([]) should always return True. Consider the behavior of Python's built-in set type: >>> set1 = set((0, 1, 2, 3)) >>> set2 = set(()) >>> set1.issuperset(set2) True >>> set1 = set(()) >>> set2 = set(()) >>> set1.issuperset(set2) True Jason - Original

2010-02-01 Thread Jason M. Marshall
PS. Actually, I just realized that Group.has only checks the membership of the first sprite when I call grp1.has(spr1, spr2). It's not checking the membership of any of the arguments after the first one. This makes me even more certain that it would be preferable to change the code. - Orig

2010-02-01 Thread Jason M. Marshall
Unfortunately, correcting the documentation will make it complicated. If we correct the documentation, then we'll have to explain why Group.has checks for membership of ANY sprites that are passed as arbitrary arguments but checks for membership of ALL sprites that are passed as objects within a

In the pygame.sprite module, I think that the Group.has method does not behave according to its documentation. The online documentation states that Group.has will return True if the Group contains ALL of the given sprites. However, in a certain case, Group.has will return True if the Group conta
