Re: [Pyode-user] Problems and modifications of the example code

[<al...@ci...>]

Hello and welcome to PyODE :)

I also had the same problems with the tutorials. In the attachment you will find
my changes
for transforms.py and vehicle.py.

My system: Ubuntu Karmic (Py2.6) and Windows XP (Py2.5). On XP, the samples run
fine without glutInit.
On Ubuntu, they fail with the error you described on your blog.

I think glutInit should be called somewhere at the beginning of the program,
after opening an OpenGL window.
This is right after pygame.display.set_mode(...)

The other change was glColor3; this function is not present on my systems. I
just replaced it with glColor3f.

Please let me know if the attached patch works for you.

Also, your step-by-step install instructions are nice, can we include them in
PyODE's readme files?

However, the version from Ubuntu repos may be old. A solution would be to update
the PyPi index,
in order to let the users get the latest PyODE with 'easy_install pyode' or 'pip
install pyode'.

Ethan, what do you think?

I will also ask Ethan to commit the attached patch.

Alex
