Meow. 2.0.0.dev3 is out...
There are binaries for Mac, Windows, and Linux with SDL2. python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev3 --pre --user So... what's new? Here's a few things. The documentation has been made more readable on big screens and small ones. It is also updating from github again. @charlesej <https://github.com/charlesej> in particular has made a lot of documentation fixes. See https://www.pygame.org/docs/ It's easier to make custom types that will work with multiple GUI libraries. FIRST = pygame.event.custom_type() (No more USEREVENT+1 nonsense) Also with pygame 2.0.0.dev3 you can have 8192 custom events instead of 32. Thanks to @charlesoblack <https://github.com/charlesoblack> (first time contributor ya!) there is a pygame.Color.lerp() function now. It returns a linear interpolation. >>> color.lerp(color2, 0.0) -> color >>> color.lerp(color2, 0.5) -> halfway_color >>> color.lerp(color2, 1.0) -> color2 @dlon <https://github.com/dlon> added support for some Modern OpenGL features. For more detail see: #1127 <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/1127> Now you can do one-shot timers like this: pygame.time.set_timer(EVENT, 1000, 1) Thanks to @bennuttall <https://github.com/bennuttall> and the piwheels project, pygame has binary wheels for the raspberian linux. See https://www.piwheels.org/project/pygame/ The sound mixer has moved into the modern age and now defaults to a small low latency buffer size of 512 bytes, and uses CD quality audio by default.
