Hi All,
The March PyGameSF meet up will be at the STONG conference room on the
first floor of the main San Francisco public library beside civic
center BART. The library closes at 8pm so we will reconvene to frjtz
on hayes street for dinner/drinks afterwords.This month's
presentations are:
* Patrick Stinson: Embedding Python as a Realtime Audio Scripting Engine.
Topics will include separation and communication between the application and
scripting engine, why Python is "safe" for audio work including empirical
performance metrics, and caveats related to multithreaded processing as
performance requirements increase. I will share my experiences using the
standard CPython implementation to research and develop a state-of-the-art
scripting engine for the Play professional sampling engine
(http://www.soundsonline.com).
Patrick is not based out of the bay area so this is a unique opportunity to talk
to him about his experiences using python in this way with a commercial audio
product.
* Shandy Brown : Structuring Your Game's Code.
One approach to designing video games with a focus on rapid development and
networked multiplayer capabilities. Shandy Brown will highlight key ideas in
his tutorial (http://ezide.com/games/writing-games.html). Fundamental topics
such as event-based design, defining your game model, and separating the model
and the view will be covered.
