[Pysdl-devel] TODO

[David C. <D. C. <si...@te...>]

A few questions for Mark that occur tonight...

- What is the intended use of the joy_update() function?

- Did the bug fixes in the joystick subsection effect the interface?

- I see some mention of GL-related constants and functions in the
module, but nothing in the TODO. Is the OpenGL section of SDL still in
your plans?

- A couple of weeks ago you mentioned SDL_ttf support. Are you still
interested in implementing that? What about David Leimbach's DFont at
http://phoenix.lhup.edu/~dleimbac/Projects/DFont/ or Karl Bartel's
http://www.linuxstart.com/~karlb/sfont.html instead? Does anyone
have a strong preference for one text library or another (I don't)?

- using sound_load() with the wrong frequency just results in
faster/slower playback, but music_load() segfaults.

- doing:

sound = sdl.sound_load('foo.wav')
sound = sdl.sound_load('bar.wav')

locks up the interpreter hard on the second load (both files exist).

 really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully
 than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people
 talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry
 human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human
 beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. 
 Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously
 going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on.
