Hello!
In pygame 1.6, I have a collection of sprites in a RenderUpdate group,
and my code looks like this:
for i in myCollection:
blah
Now, in pygame 1.7 I get an error when this code is running.
typeerror: iteration over non-sequence
FWIW, I have a RenderUpdates subclass in a project that needed a little
tweaking after changing to 1.7. In my case, I'm maintaining a
parallel list of sprites in self.monsterlist, used to track y-order (in
particular, to pinpoint which one is lowest on the screen).
the old __init__ method:
def __init__(self, monsterblock):
pygame.sprite.RenderUpdates.__init__(self)
self.monsterlist = []
self.monsterblock = monsterblock
self.explosionsound = load_sound('zap.wav')
self.updatebottommonster()
After moving to 1.7, this started giving me an error;
unfortunately I don't rememer exactly where, or what the error was, but
in any case I was able to eliminate it by initializing my parallel list
first and passing it to the superclass's __init__ method, like tshi:
new __init__ method:
def __init__(self, monsterblock):
self.monsterlist = []
self.monsterblock = monsterblock
pygame.sprite.RenderUpdates.__init__(self, self.monsterlist)
self.explosionsound = load_sound('zap.wav')
self.updatebottommonster()
I'm too tired to quite parse if this applies to your situation, but it
popped into my head when Rene mentioned subclassing RenderUpdates.
