Gumm and Lorenz, thank you very much! I will
try/test both Eric-Ide and Dr Python.
Gumm:
> Why do you want the rect to be smaller than the cloud image; what are
you trying to accomplish?
I want to avoid that the plane is hit by a cloud
just by being close to it. The rect of the cloud-sprite is bigger than the cloud
image (since it is not rectangular), so when one play the plane game (http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~aharris/pygame/ch07/)
one sometimes gets the feeling "no, the plane did not touch the cloud!" and
still looses a plane. The author of the book recommends to use
the inflate-method, and has it in one version of the game (http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~aharris/pygame/ch07/mpScore.py),
that helps for the right side of the clouds but not for the left side.. How to
fix that?
An other question: Is there something like
JOptionPane.showInputDialog() in some GUI library for Python? I.e. being able
to show a dialox box for input by just one line of code. (My students
like the dialog boxes of JOptionPane in Java very much and have asked me
how to do the same thing in Python.)
Thanks,
Hokan
