Re: [pygame] road to 1.6

[Pete Shinners <pete@shinners.org>]

the documentation issues have all been addressed. you check the sprite 
reference, and the new 'built in' Tom Chance tutorial.

http://pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_sprite.html
http://pygame.org/docs/tut/tom/MakeGames.html

i've also added a 'pygame.color' module to handle simple color lookups 
and modification.

http://pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_color.html

the "Color" function may one day become and actual type constructor, but 
for now all colors deal with the RGB tuples that pygame uses. the color 
module is also added to the "locals" module and the Color function is 
added to the toplevel pygame namespace.

>>> import pygame
>>> from pygame.locals import *
>>> color.add(Color('red'), Color('blue')) == Color('0xff00ff')
1
>>> color.multiply(Color('Hot Pink'), (0, 128, 255))
(0, 52, 180, 255)
>>> pygame.color.subtract(200, pygame.Color('0xdeadbeef'))
(0, 27, 10, 16)

all that's left is a clean implementation to lookup system fonts. if 
anyone has any other ideas for the 'color' module i'm up for 
suggestions. (it's python code, so additions should not be tough)
