Not really. Ok, maybe I'm a bit tired but I try to explain the real
problem I'm currently have (primarily in thinking, well could be also
time-related ;).
My real problem is how to move something slow and another thing
really fast if I set - let's say - the frame rate to 30. For the
slow-thing
I could move it 1 pixel per frame. Ok, works great. And the fast-thing
could
be moved 3 pixels per frame but than it looks not very cool. It's lagging
and you see the movement-steps. And what if the slow-thing is too
fast, though?
I cannot set the speed to 0.5 because pygame.Rect uses integers for the
position things.
Probably (well, surely probably) this is a noob question. But atm,
I'm not getting to it...
Thanks
Kai
Part of the solution is to use speeds related to time instead of speeds
related to frame rate.
This way your objects could go as slow as they want whatever the frame
rate is.
AFAIK, If you want to have smooth movement, you need to code all your
position and speed in float, that means using your own Rect module and
using OpenGL or a lib that use it (see the pygame site).
Hope that helps,
