Maybe We Should Have A Pys60 Game Engine

[all2happy]

Found another source code that I had to edit so it can be executed on my 5230 which should somewhat solve one of the previous conflicts...

	moveX[i]=dir*random.randint(1,3)

		img.ellipse([(XX[i],YY[i]),(XX[i]+imgSnow,YY[i]+imgSnow)],WHITE,fill=WHITE)
	canvas.blit(img,(0,0))
	timer.after(0.1,falling)
	draw(img)

def draw(rect):

I'm guessing pys60 itself is quite limited to the 5230 model as "Rage Of Thunder" and "Speedfest" are the only two I found able to prove this phone should be very capable of handling the graphics fast enough which include transparencies. Oh well... I'll just keep trying to figure much of it out

I really took a challenge to shorten the code below as to create starting points from where the circles could better transfer it's momentum while moving at new angle, which I might add later if I'd be lucky to find an algorithm that I can reasonably comprehend, therefore the static speed of them wouldn't really slow down the animation as it has demonstrated

Except for two lines in the following... the filename and...

objA.speed,objB.speed=objB.speed,objA.speed

... as an added line to the "circletouch" code... the effect from the detected overlap is "only" a static exchange of the set speeds where there isn't an attempt to find what would be a realistic "mirrored" angle perpendicular of in between objA and objB. Not trying to teach anybody how to do this the proper way, but just making notes of my own progress whenever I get the chance hoping somebody might want to help me out at least be able to access this info from a different computer if ever without the correct USB drive.

Note: The momentum of the touched circle can become lost if an overlap of it gets detected during the exchange of the set speeds.

Attarisk*... which is actually "At-A-Risk"... was one of my own favorite of games that I made many years ago for the PalmOS, now missing quite a few lovely features so it took a very short while to write the code again. Just thought to share this one also, especially in being for two player unlike the others I've submitted. Feels like there's hardly anybody coding at this raw level of python... but perhaps sometime soon... when I can find a game engine to get much more work done.

Had about 30 minutes to get some more info from a very busy friend who also believes my 5230 seems rather too "permission" limited, but figured it's quite flexible enough to create a variety a great projects. Anyhow... I was given the following snippet that should help a beginner like me troubleshoot codes way more proficiently in Python at it's minimal.

# linedebug.py

def tr(msg=None):
	import inspect
	trk = str(inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_lineno)
	# in case there is no trk_on variable
	try:
		if trk_on == 1 or trk_on == True:
			print 'Line Number: ' + trk
			if msg!=None: #+++ or msg!='': <- didn't work ???
				if msg!='':
					if msg!=1:
						print str(msg)
					else:
						print "***" ### represents a checkmark
	except:
			pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
	pass

# * snippet as it is, should print --

tr()				#
tr("hello #1") 			#
trk_on = 1 
tr()				# Line Number: 27
tr("hello #2")			# Line Number: 28
				# hello #2
trk_on = 2 
tr()				# 
tr("hello #3")			# 
trk_on = True 
hello="hello #4" 
tr(hello)			# Line Number: 35
				# hello #4
hello=5 
tr('')				# Line Number: 38
tr(hello)			# Line Number: 39
				# 5
tr(1) 				# Line Number: 41
				# ***

Was told the original had a bit more to offer, so I tried to figure out what sort of other features could there be in regards and add a few, then realized it would be really nice to have it not lose the previous relay from being in loops.

# example attempt...
def tr(msg=None,trkxtrk=None):
# with or without returns trkxtrk to None
try:
    if trk!=trkxtrk:
        try:
            ...
                trkxtrk=trk
        except:
            pass
except:
    pass

Oh... and just in case...

Found this in Mobile_Python.pdf which I haven't yet tried which seems less intrusive as opposed to a well known pixel by pixel method...

Image Masks –

When you copy one image to another using the blit() function, the shape of the source image is rectangular by default. In some cases, this is not desirable and you would like to mask out certain parts of the source
image. For this purpose, you need a black and white mask image with the visible parts painted in white. Then, you can load and use the mask to copy only the visible parts, defined by the mask, mask img, of the source image, src img, to the canvas as follows:

mask_img = Image.new(size = (50, 50), mode = '1')
mask_img.load('e:\\Images\\mask_img.png')
src_img = graphics.Image.open('e:\\Images\\orig_img.png')
canvas.blit(src_img, target=(0,0), source=(0,0), mask = mask_img)

The parameter mode = "1" specifies that the new image, mask img, has only two colors, black and white. This mode is required for masks.

Just learned to blit a screenshot right after making a Text Mode output. The Option to refer png images might soon be added.
Instead of only have 5 choices, each might soon vary in accordance. The txt format at the moment will not apparently accept any
quotation marks... which has sadly taken up most of my free time already, which is no longer a top priority. I haven't yet taken a
course to learn how to code and has hardly found the time to do a proper structuring, so please forgive me for whatever wrong
there is. To me, all criticisms are welcomed, because especially as a community... we can get a whole lot more accomplished.

There was an interactive Galactic Screensaver that really inspire me to replicate several decades ago, but I wasn't quite sure how to achieve that desired effect until after having studied the XYZircle.py and py60snowfall.py code. It's still not quite what I aimed for, but at least it's a start. I should be able to make a whole lot of various games from this.

Hi all2happy

Hmmm... seems like nobody is reading any of these newer posts in thread... or not interested in them... or just not willing to respond... or don't like me for some reason unknown to me, but never-the-less... being all too happy to make and and share my progress, I'll just continue on.

A few years ago this site had a very active Python on Symbian community - some of the (current) moderators even joined together to write (and print) the book Python_on_Symbian (originally hosted on the Symbian Foundation wiki).

The problem is that Symbian is no longer a high priority platform for Nokia, and even if it was, Python is not a priority runtime on Symbian. In essence we're now at the point that Python on Symbian can still be used for prototyping and is quite fun to play with, but it no longer has sufficient momentum to support a community. Hence no real responses to your messages. Sorry!

In any case, we certainly don't dislike you :-) I wish you the very best with your development efforts. If you move to Windows Phone or Series 40 I think you'll find a much bigger community to be part of.

Regards
Hamish
