Hi guys, I've reworked my game (Time Trek) to use ffmpeg to play the movie sequences instead of the built-in movie module. I've coded it to work on Windows, Linux and Mac, but I'm unable to test on either Linux or Mac, so I'm not sure if it'll work on those. Here's a link to download it :-

Hello Ted, Okay, I checked out the new version on my Kubuntu Linux (essentially Ubuntu). The first thing I noticed is that it went into fullscreen mode, which worked, but I have my desktop spread over two monitors and due to the way the monitors are situated, it’s not truly a complete

Thanks for the info René. I've done some testing and I've been able to play a movie via a pipe to ffmpeg. So it looks like that will work :-) On 19/12/2014 9:46 p.m., René Dudfield wrote: Hi, The movie module might be dropped this release if no one can pick up maintenance. Checkout

Hi, The movie module might be dropped this release if no one can pick up maintenance. Checkout https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy This shows it might not be too hard to make a backend which pipes from ffmpeg.

I am looking forward to playing your game today. The concept of Space Gladiator ii is to survive without firing a single shot. When the aliens shoot you you have to avoid them. Each tine they shoot they loose a bit of their lives. You can only shoot the asteroids. I will check the Earthwar

Looks like Pygame has a movie lib no matter what, but in some cases it raises a NotImplementedError based on your platform. So checking if it imports isn't enough, you'd have to catch the NotImplementedError when creating the movie and skip the movie during that function. On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at

I think the game should implement this. It is a shame that the entire game cannot be played simply because the movies cannot be played. On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 8:39 PM, Luke Paireepinart rabidpoob...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like Pygame has a movie lib no matter what, but in some cases it raises

Hi Diliup. I played all 3 of your games. Space Gladiator was cool. I like the music and the graphics and sounds were good. I couldn't quite work out what was going on in Space Gladiator II. Perhaps the concept of not shooting things is beyond me :-) Earthwar was good altho I did have one
