Re: [pygame] Re: p4a development activity?

Hi,

pygame currently does not support SDL 1.3... since it still is not finished.

I have started planning a port though, and maybe it's time to start the work.  Maybe a rough port could be done quickly... but a good port should support both SDL 1.2 and 1.3 if possible... since SDL 1.2 is going to be around for ages.


cheers,

Pgs4a development is limited by several factors. 

The biggest is that PGS4A is using an unofficial port of SDL to Android. There's a version of SDL 1.3 for Android, but SDL 1.3 hasn't been released yet. I also don't know if Pygame runs on SDL 1.3 - I don't think it does. I don't want to get into a situation where I'm spending a lot of time modifying SDL, only to have to do it again when the new version comes out.

Right now, my plan is for the next release of pgs4a to sync up with the next release of Ren'Py. The focus will be on making it easier to set up a development environment to create packages - that will be an outgrowth of Ren'Py's new launcher tool.
