Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
Looks like the culprit is if sys.platform == 'win32': os.environ['SDL_WINDOWID'] = str(self.GetHandle()) os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windib' If I take it out completely, it works regardless. Wierd, but I'll try to get the gluPerspective to work and update a new version. Thanks. Cheers Charlie Nolan wrote: Works fine for me on almost-pristine 1.8.

Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
Hi, Thanks for the explanation but again, I dont understand the terms you are using. I only call gluPerspective once; how or what are aspect parameters? It seems that the last part you are describing is similar with what I am already doing. What or how is mine different? Thanks again. Charlie Nolan wrote: He's missing a major detail, namely that you're going to need to translate to/from spherical co-ordinates if you want to do it right. You could just toy around with the look speed until you found something close to right, but you might as well just get it right to start with. Whenever you call gluPerspective, store the fovy and aspect parameters. Multiply fovy by aspect to get fovx. Divide each of these by the respective screen dimension to get unitx and unity, the arc size (in degrees) represented by each pixel in the x and y directions, respectively. From there, you just use whatever code you already have for handling drags and multiply the mouse motion by unitx and unity to get the amount you need to turn the view by.

Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
Look up the syntax for gluPerspective. Two of the parameters are called fovy and aspect. The point is that *those* parameters are the ones that drive the display, so when you apply them to the mouse rotation, it'll feel more natural. -FM Astan Chee wrote: Hi, Thanks for the explanation but again, I dont understand the terms you are using.

No, and the wx window should be on a seperate thread as the pygame/opengl one. The wx window calls the pygame one though. But yeah, they are two separate windows. Thanks for trying though.

Thanks! So the keyboard shortcuts work in linux as well? Looks good. A few notes: * Mouse scroll down is equivalent to s (move back), not f (move up). * When dragging with RMB, the mechanics feel off. The mouse cursor should stay on top of roughly the same bit of space as I drag it, not have the space go zooming out past it. * When time is paused, keys aren't repeating, so you can only turn by mouse or by pounding the key like mad. -FM signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
Does this work with Pygame 1.8.0? Is the Navagation Console supposed to be on the same screen as the Navagation menu? Or is it supposed to open a new window (Pygame window) with the 3D shapes? All I see is a fuzzy dark circle on the Navagation menu page. The navagation keys, or clicking with mouse just causes the circle to flicker.

Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
I havent tested this in pygame 1.8.0. There are 2 ways of opening the navigation console, via the menu and from the button. Both open a new window (pygame window) with the 3D shape. While the console is open, you cant interact with the main window. The new pygame window has to be closed before normal interaction can be resumed (kinda mimicing the dialog modal behaviour). The navigation console should have 2 minimaps on the bottom right and left corner. Are this not appearing for you? Cheers etrek wrote: Does this work with Pygame 1.8.0?

Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game
He's missing a major detail, namely that you're going to need to translate to/from spherical co-ordinates if you want to do it right. You could just toy around with the look speed until you found something close to right, but you might as well just get it right to start with. Whenever you call gluPerspective, store the fovy and aspect parameters. Multiply fovy by aspect to get fovx. Divide each of these by the respective screen dimension to get unitx and unity, the arc size (in degrees) represented by each pixel in the x and y directions, respectively. From there, you just use whatever code you already have for handling drags and multiply the mouse motion by unitx and unity to get the amount you need to turn the view by. I may have missed a few details, but that's the basic method. -FM Astan Chee wrote: James Paige wrote: On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 07:21:30PM +1000, Astan Chee wrote: * When dragging with RMB, the mechanics feel off.

You can apparently support python 2.4 by changing the one place where you have class foo(): to read class foo:. The main interface is going to be too tall for 1280x800. If you move the second section of the Object Editor to the right of the first (instead of below), you should be able to drop the height significantly. If I try to Navigate, I get this error: (python:30836): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:878 drawable is not a pixmap or window No available video device error(No available video device) in Inited() (wxSol.py:line 346) - Run() (wxSol.py:line 990) I also got some KeyErrors (with key 0, then many instances of key -1) the first time I ran it, but I'm not getting those to duplicate now, so I can't be more specific. -FM signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
