Hey guys,
I'm running a pygame thread in my wxPython app. If I try to run the
pygame thread a second time I get an error when I try to font.render -
"Text has zero width" ... A search tells me that this can happen since
font.render is not thread safe, but I've killed the previous thread.
If I don'
I'm running pygame in a thread, killing the thread and reloading it.
Second time in we throw an exception with font.render. I have no
experience with C, but I would like to debug the problem which appears
to be in font_render since both times the python pygame.font.render
arguments are the same. I

Been using pygame for 5 years and just noticed that pygame.mixer.Sound
doesn't throw anything on file not found. I'm guessing either it
should or we should update the example .py's to test for it. It took
quite awhile to debug this since you assume it would throw if it
couldn't load the sound from

I suggest getting in touch with people who work with game AI. For
example jdog500 is modifying the

Hey guys, I'm looking for something perhaps where you can specify a
gamefield like:

Which could be the basis for a variety of games like checkers,chess to

A tile engine where all sprites fit into a tile should be fairly
simple. Just has to return whether or not movement into tile X from
tile Y is allowed and draw all the background tile images.. Having
that base would make each game get done much faster. Being not pygame
specific I could draw the gam

Why does it need to be XML? Write it out as python dict's and eval the
file. 2 lines of code.
And use an existing library and write an editor for it. Thats really
the thrust of what you are trying to do. Support the code that is out
there instead of rewriting it.

What are the supported file formats for the music module?
How big a deal would it be to add seek support or at least rewind(
milliseconds ) instead of rewind() which returns to the start?
Right now I'm stuck working with wxPython's media module that uses
windows media player on windows.. ugh.

XML is only to save the programmer effort and was created because so
many languages can't process text and do not have good data
structures. It is not the best way for a user to hand enter a design
for a UI. And in fact in python it makes the programmers job harder
because reading the file is easy

maging it all depends on the version of SDL_mixer in use.

Is there a ghosting problem with laptop screens that isn't there on
desktop screens? I just have a laptop available to me right now, and
any game I have with moving objects is bothering me with this ghosting
effect behind the images.

In my pygame code I am using rect.clamp to keep sprites within a
screen or gameboard, where I clamp and if the center was moved I
recalculate the sprite's movement like so:
ctr = self.rect.center
self.rect = self.rect.clamp(self.clamp_rect)
if self.rect.center !
Anyone have a function for calculating all the points on a line to be
used for sprite movement?

Hey guys,
I lost my links to free art websites, where do you get your stuff from?
I forget the english for it so am having trouble googling (icons?) but
I was using a site that was geared towards UI work - buttons / icons
for theming your desktop. It had lots of users contributing good
stuff.

I'm using the pyaudio example to save a wave file called "temp.wav"
http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/#docs
The following code correctly plays it:
def Play(self):
if not pygame.mixer.get_init():
pygame.mixer.init()
if os.path.exists("temp.wav"):
that I needed to do
this, but this fixed it.

Anyone have wxPython and pygame running on the latest version of the Mac?
Stock 2.6.1 python in 32 bit mode:
- defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes
- installed and can use wxPython
- pygame didn't work after installing:
pygame-1.9.1release-py2.6-macosx10.5.zip

I got it working by installing python 2.6 from here:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/
As its noted pygame doesn't work with the stock 2.6.

I'm running my pygame game from my wxPython app, ( it
pops up a new window instead of using the window
specified by SDL_WINDOWID, but thats ok. ) my problem
is the window does not destroy itself after all my
pygame related objects are deleted and if I try to
call pygame.quit() I get this:
Fatal Py
I've attached my template for a new app. Its short. It
has a Frame, File->Exit menu and an empty panel. I
adapted it from a tutorial so it has comments on whats
what.

Ian, see from Rene's note: http://pygame.org/wiki/gui
Using wxPython with Pygame doesn't mean you can put
GUI items inside your pygame window, and right now
pygame pops up its own window anyway when called from
wxpytho
No one has a tip on how to debug a pygame seg fault on
XP? I'm sure they come up in many other cases.
It actually only took me 2 hours to combine 4 existing
complex pygames with my existing wxpython app. And
they all work flawlessly (mouse,keyboard,display)
except that the pygame doesn't clean its
33 matches
