A bit of...despair

Well, I'm sad. And need a bit of help. I'm new to python, and when I saw pyglet, I was happy. However, pyglet has let me down. It has no collision :(. I have no idea on how to write my on collision functions, and that alone would take me a week. My other choice if pygame, but I couldn't learn pygame well enough to make anything in the next couple of hours (when pyweek starts). So what should I do? I need advice my friends, and I'm hoping I get it soon. PS - Does pyglet have any hidden collision functions? I'm talking 1.1 here...alpha version.

Hey Devman:

I use pygame, and I wrote some pygame sprite demos on http://pymike93.googlepages.com/demos.html.

HTH, pymike

Oh wow, thanks! IMHO, the pygame docs...aren't the best. I could find a good sprite tutorial for the life of me. Thanks a lot!

Devman on 2008/03/29 19:12:

Ok, I did the first sprite tutorial, and it was great (except for the fact it didn't work :/). I understood it all, and pygame doesn't seem quite so scary anymore. Thanks!

It didn't work? Like it wouldn't run?

Devman on 2008/03/29 19:17:

Sort of, same thing with the other ones to...its missing the key module it says...its a not implemented error.

Devman on 2008/03/29 19:18:

Oh not good....same thing happens to all the examples to...is the latest release missing a module?

pymike on 2008/03/29 19:20:

Woah... pygame.key? Try re-installing pygame from here: http://pygame.org/download.shtml

Devman on 2008/03/29 19:22:

yeah, something is horrible wrong now...it says the function import os, pygame isn't working...uninstall doesn't seem to work either...should I delete the site package and everything pygame related before installing this time?

pymike on 2008/03/29 19:24:

Yeah try removing pygame then reinstalling.

Devman on 2008/03/29 19:26:

yup, it works now. Anyway, thanks a bunch for the site and the help.

pymike on 2008/03/29 19:27:

Awesome! No problem :)

You can pretty easy collision check anything you like. the recangle got rx and ry and rx+width and ry+height and you draw the image of a apple at rx , ry then there is a guy who's position is x and y he moves around. each time he moves you check if x is bigger then rx and smaller then rx+width. and if y is bigger then ry and smaller then ry+width. then ! the guy eat the apple :)
