Hey, all. It's been about half a year since the last alpha of pgreloaded, and
I was wondering how it's coming along. Is it ready for serious use yet?
Also, from the perspective of someone who's written games but never done
multiplayer: what would you recommend to use with pgreloaded for
In honor of the 1-month anniversary of you putting pgreloaded and the
associated docs out there, I just browsed the repository and found
sdlconstants.rst. Since you asked me to point out issues with the
documentation:
1) You've done a great job providing the list of keyboard constants I
Thanks for the binary installer, Marcus. It worked!
The documentation is not quite ready for prime time, though:
1) I couldn't find a list of sdlconst.WHATEVER entries, for example, so I
can't look up the constants for various things. I know from playing with
sample code that
Keep in
mind, though, that you also can use the SDL documentation

the pygame2.sdl related stuff.
I assume you're not refering to the pygame2.sdl.whatever portions of THIS
documentation, as I don't see the information there either. Where are these
docs?
However keep posting

did you
follow the instructions of the doc/BuildVC.txt or

No, I haven't tried them. I was using what seemed the generic procedure.
Can you add the output of the setup on trying to install
anything?
Sure. I just ran it again and made a text

I'm working on a project in Game Maker, but it fails to meet my needs in one
critical way: Game Maker only supports 2 joysticks/gamepads. I need more than
that. So I'm taking a second look at Python, this time at 3.0 and the new
version of Pygame. I have some questions:
1) When last I

simple. It can be changed at any time to support (nearly)
any amount of joysticks, if necessary, and will then just be
limited by the SDL.
32 is way more

Why exactly can't people see your code, Daniel?
Is it just that distributing the source makes it inconvenient for them?
Because you shouldn't expect these py2exe-type programs to protect your
code.
For both of those reasons and more.

Yes, actually. Does IDLE have a problem with pygame?

Okay, I have an alpha and I'm ready to distribute it for cross-platform
