What a Week!

kfields on 2020/03/29 17:16 of TwoPoint0

It's been a great week. The game turned out pretty well, I just wish it could have been more original. I think I'm more creative in the software department than the game department. I can live with that. :)

And then there's the fact the game has only two identical levels that barely contain anything! The time I had set aside for content creation was eaten up by the desire to create a complete game and bug fixing. I had a whole set of issues when it came time to load the next level.

But overall it's been a pretty amazing week! I learned soooooooooooooooo much!!!

I look forward to playing all the games that were created for the competition. They look pretty far out!

Thanks for the setup instructions! I had an error on Ubuntu that looks like a bug in the arcade library:

(env) christopher@paracosm:~/Downloads/pyweek/29/badwing-src$ time python3 run_game.py 
SoLoud dynamic link library /home/christopher/Downloads/pyweek/29/badwing-src/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcade/soloud/libsoloud.so not found. /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/christopher/Downloads/pyweek/29/badwing-src/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcade/soloud/libsoloud.so)

There's a simple fix if anyone else runs into this same error and you're okay running the game without sound. I added a line (line 18) to env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcade/sound.py so it looks like this:

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Warning, can't initialize soloud {e}. Sound support will be limited.")
    soloud = None

I owe you one bud!!!

That's a good fix. You should submit it as a pull request to Arcade

I'm just going to comment out the play sound call. I'm bummed but whatever ...

I decided to let the final version stand as it is and cross my fingers it doesn't affect a lot of people.

I also uploaded a nosound version with all the sound calls commented out. I hope I got all of them.

Thanks again!!!

I get a different error: in arcade/PIL/munmap_chunk. Here's a traceback with faulthandler enabled:

Seems like a PIL problem, mainly on Fedora. Is that what your using?

Fonts need to be cached. I thought Arcade was handling it but apparently they thought PIL was. Lol.

I'll see if I can come up with a workaround. Thanks!

Yes, I'm using Fedora.
