Re: [pygame] Creating unique userevent ids?

["Ian Mallett" <geometrian@xxxxxxxxx>]

I really have no idea what I'm talking about.  :)

If I have separate modules that must use the same set of integers to do something, (like my solution for wxPython menu bindings), I go like this:

module number + number

          1            +    1       = 11

          2            +    52     = 252

          1            +    31     = 131

...and so on.  This ensures that the bandwidth for each module remains reserved.  All of the numbers beginning in 1 belong to module 1, like 11, 110, and 1100, all the ones to 2 begin with 2, like 21, 210, and 2100.  You could add this value to pygame.USEREVENT for each submodule.

I've never used pygame.USEREVENT, so I have no idea what I'm talking about.  This might totally work, or be completely in the wrong direction.  I apologise in the case of the latter. :)
