Re: Re: Questions regarding text on a pygame screen

Lee and Andrew,

Thank you for your help.
What I did was put several lines and use the left
position for the first one as the left position for
the others.
Thanks for the link Lee.

David

Installation problems on Win XP

I have been using pygame on Linux without any
problems.
However when I tried to install on Win XP, the
installer
said that it could not install as I do not have python
2.2 installed (I have 2.4).
Is there a work around to this problem ?

David

I think the workaround is to install python 2.2.

I believe that they (2.2 and 2.4) can coexist without
too much trouble. I know they can on linux and bsd...
maybe a windows user will step up to confirm.

Re: Pygames on a webpage

I know that there are various games that are written
in Java that can be played from a webpage ie :-
http://www.darkfish.com/checkers/index.html
Is it possible to do the same with python games ?
And are there any tutorials on how to do it ?
David

Re: Re: Installation problems on Win XP

It would seem it's running fine on my XP installation with Python 2.3.

Re: Pygames on a webpage

Well, Guido van Rossum actually did create a browser in Python called
Grail that can run Python apps, however there don't seem to be any
other browsers capable of this.  From what I gather, it is more
difficult to sandbox Python than Java or Flash.  Anyone who can create
a SECURE plug-in to run Python in a browser would probably be revered
as a saint.

More like a miracle worker.  Python is NOT SECURE, and it would require 
a HUGE amount of effort to audit the runtime and make it secure.  You'd 
probably be better off starting from scratch.

You could embed Jython in a Java applet on a web page, and that would 
be as secure as Java is.  Of course, you wouldn't be able to use 
pygame, because it's not pure Python.

That is a shame as apart as python is a really useful
langugage !

Drawing TrueType characters on surfaces

Hi,

	I am trying to use a specialized truetype font to draw on a surface.
By specialized I mean a font encoding a series of symbols. Unfortunately, I
get only the default "rectangle" characters (although I don't get any error
messages when I load it). Is this a common problem with not-so-standard
fonts? I get the same behavior if I attempt to do the same with the PIL. 

	I would like to hear from anyone who dealt with this situation. Is
this an intrinsic limitation of the truetype support or can I do something
(either on the code or the font) to fix this?

	Cheers,

Christian

PS: here is the font(s) http://www.mapsymbs.com/app-6a.html
