René, What aspects of being the lead developer & website maintainer give you enjoyment and pride?And which parts of your roles are a bore or a nuisance to you? I want to help you to find the job in the pygame community that gives you the most satisfaction and maximizes the impact of your talents

[pygame] erratic behavior with 'display.update(Rect)'

Greetings! I am seeing what seems to be erratic behavior with 'display.update()' when used with a Rect argument. In all cases but one, it works fine with 'display.update()'. In the exception case, it has no effect on the referenced Rect area. MY QUESTIONS Is it possible that the cause is that OP

Hi, ​As a long-time member here, I recall many *many* different attempts to redesign the website. Three in memory, which is several years. Probably more if I looked through my archives. The model is that someone gets fed up with the current design and mentions it on this list. There's some discus

In 2009, there was a prototype of a redesign of the pygame website. It was written in Python (Django) instead of PHP (SiteSwing). The redesign was not adopted and the people who had worked it lost interest in volunteering and left the pygame community.  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.pyth

Re: [pygame] Problem with pytmx and tiled

​Assuming you're using a PyTMX version > 2.16.5, this looks like a bug in its Python 3 support. I'd try replacing "data = b64decode(data_node.text.strip())" with something like "data = b64decode(data_node.text.strip().encode())" and seeing if that improves anything. But this isn't a PyGame issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears you are using SDL_Surface instead of SDL_Textures? https://wiki.libsdl.org/MigrationGuide#If_your_game_just_wants_to_get_fully-rendered_frames_to_the_screen > One problem is blend modes - many of the pygame blend modes, including the default alphablend mode
