[Magicor-devel] 1.1 RC1 preplanning.

[Peter G. <pe...@us...>]

Hi!

Claudio, your suggestions regarding the aproach to releasing a 1.1 RC1 
sounds good to me. The two most important things are stability and a 
Windows-installer. Most "bugs" reported for 1.0 was the absence of a proper 
Windows installer, Windows users are not too keen on unpacking sources 
manually it seems.

Regarding the JPG's that are PNG's, I have no idea. The only JPG image I 
found was the title-sky.jpg and it is a JPG. I would prefer large 
backgrounds to be JPG format because of the size and load time. Images 
requiring transparency or with the size around 256x256 or smaller can be 
PNG.

The latest stable PyGame is 1.7.1, we cannot support versions of PyGame 
that has not been officially released as stable yet.

Please get the eye-candy stuff ready for the new maps, I want to take a few 
screenshots and put on the website news so that Magicor gamers know that 
there's some nice, new features and graphics being developed.
Tell me when you feel the new non-stones.py levels are ready. Also, even 
though I have limited graphic editing skills, do you want me to have a look 
at all the new 1.1 graphics? I can smooth things and I have a pretty good 
feeling for animated stuff.
