Re: [pygame] 1.2 on the horizon

Hi Pete,

I don't know if this is the address
we are s'posed to reply to, but here
goes:

I noticed you asking if we need want
any additions. I have been messing
about with the drawing commands and
it occurred to me that it would make
life a lot easier (for me at any rate)
if pygame.draw.lines accepted an offset
to start drawing from. This would mean
that I could have a vector shape class
that could move about the screen without
having to rewrite the points array for
simple translation. Rotation would be
nice as well, but that would just be
pushing it ;)

Good Luck with the next release.

Joc
