Re: [pygame] GSoC: Improved Sprite and scene system

[Peter Gebauer <peter.gebauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Erisvaldo!

Your first task would be to summarize all the features that people think is a "must have" for a scene.

I think the sprites could be removed from PyGame, just keep the collision code.
Rects need to be float, not int, or have two types, int's won't cut it for more advanced collision math.
Then rewrite the collision library to use vectors, calculate penetration depths and support more shapes.
That would be well worth the effort and could be reused for the physics engine and any scene manager.

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but never able to muster up the strength to do it. :)
