Re: [pygame] pygame slow on linux (ubuntu)

I have to try and profile the code in the coming days, thanks for the
link. The images are converted (i just added that part). As for
rendering the sprites, I am a little cofused..
my code looks like this :
enemies = pygame.sprite.Group()
then ..enemies.update(salt,pixels)

for RenderUpdates, would i use enemies = pygame.sprite.RenderUpdates() ?
and to update it I would use enemies.draw(salt,pixels) ? Also, if that
is correct, would I have to change the update method to be called
draw() ?

Kamilche, is your game now written in pygame? If so, 400 fps is pretty
good...lots of optimization, i guess..

Thanks..s.
