Re: [pygame] What's next for Pygame project?

Hi,

I don't much experience with Pygame just use it to make a tiles effects of Curious Jorge and Minions for my 2 years old child.Â

But I'll be more than gladly to help improve the web page, I been working 8 years as a web developer mostly so it is my area of knowledge.

For me the best approach is to tackle in various cycles,
1 - change the view layer without touching the model (or the Database in case of switch technology or framework)

2 - change the model according new improvements.

3 - add new stuff.

Just an idea, still I believe that it needs a goal to the page to achieve instead of just to look nice.

Regards

What would we need?

Building the Pygame Windows dependenciesâSDL, SDL_mixer, freetype2, libJPEG, and suchâis not well suited to a buildbot. The default builds of SDL_mixer and SDL_image are unusable with Pygame, as the working directory is not in their DLL search path. This is where I could use the help. But I am back to using MinGW/Msys, which takes some special effort to set up. Maybe I can cross compile from Linux. Something to look into.

Ha ha. The x86 version of Pygame, pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_5974ff8dae3c+.win32-py3.4.msi, works under Wine, a Windows compatibility layer for linux. Out of 683 unit tests, only one failed (for an obscure corner of pygame.font). Now if an x86_64 Pygame works in Wine for x86_64 linux...
