This is my second try to send a message I wrote yesterday, alas I appended a *.wav file, which was not accepted by the mail system. Now here is a link to the file uses in the source: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2016850/Bubo.wav ---- posting follows here: Hi, today was a bad day for me, very ineffective. With a lot of things I tried out I ran into troubles. For now I'll only give some feedback (and ask some questions) regarding pygame2. I tried to port the playSound.py to pygame2 (with Python 3.1) in order to find out if this works. I've appended my very uneducated try. What did I observe? (1) In the cases it works, id doesn't do as in the docs written: if one omits the loop parameter it loops forever (2) I was not able to play an *.ogg (3) If "someSound.ogg" is loaded, retrieving someSound.len lets the program crash (4) A try to play it, results in pygame2.Error: Tried to play a NULL chunk It seems to me that there is a certain lack of examples and ported games to pygame2. Perhaps because porting seems to be quite tedious. In the end I refused to port the label stuff in the playSound program :-( Morover I observed, that pixelarray.py crashed after the 4th mouseclick without saying why. I only was asked if I wanted a respective message to be sent to microsoft. I declined :-) So after a first impression pygame2 still seems to be rather immature. I think you should insert quite a few beta releases before releasing the first release candidate. DOES SOMEONE KNOW OF EXAMPLES OF WORKING GAMES WRITTEN WITHPYGAME2? I'd appreciate any pointers. More on problems with Python 3.1 and pygame 1.9.1 tomorrow (Here it's 2 o'clock in the morning now.) Regards, Gregor Marcus von Appen schrieb:
pgreloaded 2.0.0-alpha5 was released.
pgreloaded (Pygame2) is an ongoing rewrite of the Pygame multimedia and
game framework. As Pygame, its purpose is to make writing multimedia
applications, such as games, with Python as easy as possible, while
providing the developer a reliable and extensible programming interface.
It features a modular and loosely coupled package and module layout and
access to the most features of the libraries it wraps.
pgreloaded can be installed side-by-side with Pygame as it uses a
different package namespace and thus will not cause any conflicts with
another Pygame installation.
*** This is an alpha release for testing purposes and not meant to be
run in production environments.
*** This is the last alpha release for pgreloaded 2.0.0. No new features
will be implemented now. Instead it is going into a testing period
with several release candidates.
TEST IT! :-)
