Re: [pygame] Re: Patch to add SDL_gfx support to pygame

Optional on Unix, yes, where SDL_gfx would be downloaded separately from Pygame. On Windows the dependencies are included in the Pygame binary. SDL_gfx would be specially built to be compatible with Pythons 2.4, 2.5 and up. So the SDL_gfx license needs to be compatible with Pygame's in this case. Of course the SDL_gfx library could be distributed separately, but that would just limit its usage as no one could assume it is available on all machines.

I don't see why there would be issues. It would be optional...

It wraps 2.0.15.

Weren't there licensing issues. Which version of SDL_gfx does the new module
wrap? Otherwise I say "awesome!" as well.

I haven't seen this before...  Maybe the other email didn't make it to
the mailing list?

Can you please resend the patch?

cheers,

Any interest in this? Shapes with alpha blending would be very nice
for simple games.

This patch adds complete support for SDL_gfx primitive drawing to
pygame. It adds a new module named gfx which has many functions to
draw shapes to surfaces.

The code is complete, but only has limited documentation with no
extended documentation on any of the functions.

Attached is a patch without the generated reference material
(gfxnoref.diff) and one with reference material (glxref.diff).

Thanks for any testing or comments!
