Pygame 1.9.0 released. Lots of goodies for creative programmers.
- illumen 17y agoSummary of changes: - many, many fixes and improvements. The largest amount of changes has gone into this release than any other pygame release. - bug fixes for backwards compatibility issues introduced in pygame 1.8.x series. old games like solarwolf and libraries like PGU work again. - experimental camera webcam module (still in development). - experimental midi module based on portmidi and pyportmidi (99% complete). - experimental gfxdraw module based on SDL_gfx (including AA circles, textured polygons and other goodness). - python3, and python3.1 support mostly completed. Some modules still remain to be completed - but mostly it's working. - nokia mobile phone s60 support. - improved OSX support (dropped pyobjc dependency, improved installer, sysfont now works on OSX). - pygame.examples + pygame.tests included with pygame. This makes testing easier, and also makes learning pygame more fun and easy. - cleanup of examples, and addition of new examples. - new tools to aid in development of pygame itself, better compilation documentation. - py2app, and py2exe support improved.
- elbenshira 17y agoI use pygame every day, so I'm pretty excited about this new update. Great work, pygame team.
- stevejohnson 17y agoThey seem to have removed most of the reasons I didn't like it: PyObjC dependency, crappy OS X support, and py2app weirdness. I still prefer the design of pyglet (http://www.pyglet.org/ http://www.pyglet.org/), but this looks like a good release.
- thenduks 17y agoI used pygame a lot back in college and had a lot of fun doing it, but... hasn't someone on the project noticed the god awful website yet? That thing is embarrassing!
