Re: [pygame] My game - Time Trek

Hi,

The movie module might be dropped this release if no one can pick up maintenance.

Checkout https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy

This shows it might not be too hard to make a backend which pipes from ffmpeg.

There is a VLC pygame.movie backend as well, but not sure how well it's working currently.

Maybe some more collaboration with moviepy people could be a good idea.

best,

Thanks Michael for your comments.

Does anyone know what the future is for the movie module ? Will be eventually be included in all builds ? It would be great if it also supported a more modern video format (mpeg1 is not great for HD movies).

Or should I be looking for an alternative ? I did see a post somewhere about piping data to/from ffmpeg ?

Cheers,

Ted.

Hello Ted,

Thatâs quite the effort, and Iâd love to give it a go on my Kubunutu Linux setup, but the pygame movie module isnât implemented here, so my pygame cannot play the .mpg videos :(

python TimeTrek.py

TimeTrek.py:2948: RuntimeWarning: use movie: No module named movie
(ImportError: No module named movie)
 Âmovie = pygame.movie.Movie("movies/PreIntro.mpg")

It would be great if you could get an account on pygame.org so you could post your game there for discovery and feedback.

Can anyone here help Ted showcase his game on pygame.org?

Michael

Hi guys,

I've been unsuccessful at getting registered on pygame.org, so I thought
I'd post a link to my game here. Sorry if that's the wrong thing to do.

My game (Time Trek) is based on a game I played on the TRS-80 (micro
computer from the late 70s). I've updated... everything a bit :-)

Here's a link to download it :-

https://mega.co.nz/#!QZMTgR6S!4DJQ8KvQ5VdXwnCKIR63ouU2ng0z7Q93c4kzE3A1foo

It requires python 2.7 and a pygame 1.9.2 that contains the movie module
(http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7.msi).
Also at least a core 2 duo or better processor.

I hope you enjoy it and any feedback is welcome.

Cheers,

Ted.
