Re: [pygame] Pygame CTypes

[pymike <pymike93@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've looked at it before. The ctypes stuff was a bit over my head, but yeah it was very clean looking. I got an SDL window pop up and an image draw to it, but I wasn't returning sdl_surfaces right (or something) so I got some pretty bad crashes LOL

The event stuff is pretty hard to do too :S For some reason I can't access SDL_Event, so you have to make your own event class. Bummer

I'll probs pick it back up sometime. Right now I'm having fun (and headaches) w/ pyOpenGL :D

Cheers

Definitely check the code for ctypes pygame. It is cleanly separated between the SDL binding and the Pygame api. I'd still recommend looking at Pyglet, but the SDL ctyles is high quality. There is a small example and the original SDL unit tests have been ported to Python.
