Re: [pygame] my 3d planet game



Ok. I just tried upgrading to pygame 1.8 and true enough, nothing appears. Im not sure why. Maybe doing the env var settings ( http://wiki.wxpython.org/IntegratingPyGame ) breaks something new that is introduced in 1.8? I reverted it back to 1.7.1 and it worked again fine. Although using 1.8 didnt break my other games that were pure pygame, only the ones that did things mentioned in that website. Anyone have any idea why?

This is very unusual. Can you get a screenshot of this fuzzy circle and two small dots? Maybe its the size of the pygame window not sizing properly. Also, once you click on the "navigate/open navigation" button, the pygame window behaves like a wxDialog, in that it becomes a child window of the main UI and unless the child window is closed, interaction with the parent is disabled. Anyway, I'll try and upgrade mine to pygame 1.8 and see if it still happens.
Thanks again

I have tried both ways to open navigation console. I create some objects and then click on "Navigation Information" tab. Then click on "Resume" button to start time. Then click on "Navigate/Open Navigation Console" button. A separate Pygame window does not appear. All I see is a fuzzy circle and two small dots (My guess is they represent, Sun,Earth,Moon) on the same screen as the Navigation Information UI screen. Also, once I have clicked on the "Navigate/Open Navi..." button, the UI becomes unresponsive, i.e. "Pause" button, tabs (Object Editor, etc.) stop working, and can't resize or move the UI. I have to close the Python.exe console window, or shut the program down in Task Manager in order to shut it down.

I have Windows Vista32, Pygame 1.8.0, latest wxPython, Python 2.5 and PyOpengl

I havent tested this in pygame 1.8.0. There are 2 ways of opening the navigation console, via the menu and from the button. Both open a new window (pygame window) with the 3D shape. While the console is open, you cant interact with the main window. The new pygame window has to be closed before normal interaction can be resumed (kinda mimicing the dialog modal behaviour). The navigation console should have 2 minimaps on the bottom right and left corner. Are this not appearing for you?

Does this work with Pygame 1.8.0?
Is the Navagation Console supposed to be on the same screen as the Navagation menu? Or is it supposed to open a new window (Pygame window) with the 3D shapes? All I see is a fuzzy dark circle on the Navagation menu page. The navagation keys, or clicking with mouse just causes the circle to flicker.

Thanks,
etrek

Looks good.  A few notes:
* Mouse scroll down is equivalent to s (move back), not f (move up).

Thanks. Im not so good at manuals or documenting code.
* When dragging with RMB, the mechanics feel off.  The mouse cursor
should stay on top of roughly the same bit of space as I drag it, not
have the space go zooming out past it.

I dont know how to do this in pygame. Is there an example somewhere of how to do this?
* When time is paused, keys aren't repeating, so you can only turn by
mouse or by pounding the key like mad.

Ah, I didnt notice that. I'll fix it in the next version as well as a text based manual. Let me know if its too confusing.
Thanks again
