Has anyone with a Mac been able to install pygame to run this? From what I'm reading, it seems like a complicated process. Could someone throw together a small guide?
- steadicat 16y agoI tried easy_install & pip, both failed. The installer from the PyGame web site is only for 10.5. Somebody should make a Homebrew recipe!
- banjiewen 16y agoTry following these instructions (if you're on Snow Leopard): http://superuser.com/questions/43531/installing-pygame-on-snow-leopards-system-python-2-6 http://superuser.com/questions/43531/installing-pygame-on-sn... Worked great for me.
- stevejohnson 16y agoI could try a pyglet port if anyone asks me really really nicely. I promise I have the chops.
- ihodes 16y agoI've spent an hour or so trying to get pygame working on OS 10.6. I'm using Python 2.6.1, though I've tried it with 2.5 and 3 as well. I've tried their binaries, their source (including using the SDL.Framework which was suggesting in the SuperUser link another commenter posted.) If someone would like to port this to something a little more usable, I'd be obliged. If not, I'll be spending a bit of late June doing that.
- cmelbye 16y agoThe superuser link worked perfectly for me. I wonder if we could do some sort of py2app type thing.
- ihodes 16y agoI'm looking into porting the whole graphically-related portion of the code into pure OpenGL, which should be just about as easy as it gets to ensure cross-platform/computer consistency.
- infinite8s 16y agoTake a look at pyglet: http://pyglet.org http://pyglet.org
- wtallis 16y agoI installed python 2.6 from python.org, and then installed the development build of pygame from http://thorbrian.com/pygame/builds.php http://thorbrian.com/pygame/builds.php, and it works fine. (I'm running OS X 10.6.3)
