Just a shame it's SVN. I prefer git and Github. Github have a little feature called Github pages ( http://github.com/blog/272-github-pages ) that will let you create a mini website in your repo, you could just throw a file in there, link it, and it would work fine as a download. :)

[pygame] recap: refresh rate and timing issues
Hi guys. There was a thread about this issue in 2007, with no obvious solution. I got the same problem so I hope somebody knows a way out (if any). The point is I want to know exactly when a flip is occuring. Naive code could look like this : do some drawing here pygame.display.flip() timestamp = pygame.time.get_ticks() With double buffering, the flip waits for the next screen refresh, but the program is not blocking and waiting for the flip (which is quite reasonable), it just goes on. This means, however, that get_ticks() will probably return before the actual flip happened. With my screen (60 Hz), there is thus an unpredictable error of 0 - 16.6 ms. Is there any way to get to know when the flip happened, or at least to reduce this error below 10ms or so? Thanks. Matthias
Re: [pygame] Pure SDL C library branching
well, pyg_ seems like a good one :) Separate libraries seem better for modularity, and is more how they are done currently. eg. So you don't need to use the scrap stuff if you don't want. libpyg_scrap.so etc ?

Re: [pygame] Re: Python path problem in vista?
I get that error if I run from IDLE... But if I run it any other way there is no problem. IDLE is screwing up the __file__. Don't know why IDLE thinks it's OK to do that, but there it is.

Re: [pygame] Re: Python path problem in vista?
It is an IDLE problem - I ran into the same thing on Ubuntu and XP, IDLE doesn't like the way they do it. A simple fix is to just put this line in: sys.path.insert(0, lib) Instead of all that try/except nonsense. The above line works just as well, and I have never had a problem with it failing anywhere. I have actually used that stuff in my teams entry for pyweek ever sense the skellington was released :) HTH :) On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 11:40 AM, Brian Fisher br...@hamsterrepublic.comwrote: I can reproduce the problem (on vista), but it looks like an idle problem, not really a vista problem when running the script, __file__ is C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw so libdir becomes C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\lib On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 2:48 AM, Thiago Chaves shundr...@gmail.comwrote: Can anyone in the list also reply if they do NOT get problems running programs with skellington-compliant structure on Vista?

[pygame] Formal definitions for the BLEND operations
Hi, I am trying to write unit tests for the blit blend operations and am running into problems. There are no formal definitions as to what exactly a BLEND_ADD, BLEND_SUB and BLEND_MULT do. Sure they are add, subtract and multiply. But what happens with overflow and underflow. Do they truncate or just return maximum or minimum values. I will not look as the source for the answers because then I would just write the tests to pass rather than making tests that reflect the original intent of the operations.

[pygame] move problems
this code is in my main game loop key = pygame.key.get_pressed() #create a key index if K_UP in key: #check if the up arrow is pressed redcar.speed = (0, -2) else: redcar.speed = (0, 0) redcar.rect = redcar.rect.move(redcar.speed) #move redcar by speed but pressing the up arrow doesn't move the sprite.

Re: [pygame] move problems
hi, K_UP has the value 273 and pygame.key.get_pressed() returns a tuple where the n'th value is 1 if the n'th key was pressed. This should work: if key[K_UP]: . this code is in my main game loop key = pygame.key.get_pressed() #create a key index if K_UP in key: #check if the up arrow is pressed redcar.speed = (0, -2) else: redcar.speed = (0, 0) redcar.rect = redcar.rect.move(redcar.speed) #move redcar by speed but pressing the up arrow doesn't move the sprite.
