Re: [pygame] Help needed with basic 2D collision detection

2008-04-27 Thread Bruno
Ah, I hadn't seen the padlib libraries, there's a lot of good tricks in
there. Nice one. Think I've worked it out now by using a bigger collision
rect, just a couple bugs to work out still. I'd originally used your method
Thiago but found that the same problem was cropping up with horizontal
movement across adjacent blocks in that case.

Thanks,

Bruno

Found you an exe and an egg:

Really annoying when binaries stop being updated.

You could also just use sockets of course, they aren't that difficult
really.

Also, raknet uses udp, but it has built-in workarounds for all of udp's
problerms.  It can send both reliable packets, and break through NAT's,
which are the two most difficult issues with using UDP.  Messaging is
actually easier with UDP because you send datagrams (messages) instead of a
constant stream of bits.

Good luck!


Re: [pygame] using alpha for a circle

2008-04-27 Thread Ian Mallett
You could draw to a surface, then set the alpha value for that image:

s = pygame.Surface((CircleDiameter,CircleDiameter))
pygame.draw.circle(s,color,(CircleDiameter/2,CircleDiameter/2),CircleDiameter/2,width)
s.set_alpha(transparency)

[pygame] test posting from google groups mailing list mirror.

hi, this is a test message, please ignore.

cheers,

Hi,

The google groups mailing list mirror seems to work...

So for people with google accounts, you can now post to the REAL
pygame mailing list through the google groups web page.

Unfortunately their system doesn't allow importing of old messages -
so only new emails will show up in the mirror.

So this is really just good for people with a google account, who want
to read/post through the web page - rather than use their email
program.
