Title: Pong with pygame
Post by: Sorunome on May 24, 2013, 10:01:55 pm

Hey, i've been working on pong with pygame, and it is working! :D
The only question i have to you guys is - did i do something fundamentally wrong because on my raspberry pi it only runs with low fps and on my lappy it runs with 30, what takes it so much calculation power?

Yay Python :D I haven't worked much with pygame yet, so I don't think I'll be able to help. When I run it however it goes fullscreen and crashes pretty much instantly.

Atm on windows, the console didn't output anything but IDLE said:

Code: [Select]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Downloads\pong.py", line 189, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Downloads\pong.py", line 182, in main
    moveStuff()
  File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Downloads\pong.py", line 148, in moveStuff
    ball.move()
  File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Downloads\pong.py", line 76, in move
    quit()
  File "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Downloads\pong.py", line 11, in quit
    sys.exit()
SystemExit
I'll test at linux soon.

It is extremely laggy on my Linux system, runs at about 2fps. Might have to do with AMD's crappy 2D performance on Linux, but it can't be *that* extreme. Also, it spreads over my two screens which gives a funny effect.

lol, i just set it to fullscreen, maybe it is quicker if i enable hardware thingy for graphics?

I guess it is, especially for the Pi, which has a relatively powerful GPU compared to the CPU.

::EDIT:: When I changed it to HWSURFACE, it only slowed everything down even more :(

Hey, if i run it on my pi before startx it will only start x for pong and it runs on normal speed!
Hurray! :D

What version of Python do I need to play the game?

I assume it should run with Python 2.7 with the pygame library installed obviously. And it does. It doesn't run in Python 3 though.

Ah ok. I think I have version 3 installed, since it just closes immediately after opening (I only get to see the command line thing)

yes, 2.7

and I just noticed a misstake, for the fps instead of 1000/30 i put 30/1000, that would explain why it runs so slow on my pi >.>
