19/11/02 -- 1st Draft of the new API is added. Its still pretty rough but its in now.
API work still to do:
- Objects
- Text
- Check for completeness
- Game parameters
- Remove the slidechage function
- Improve the zip function
- Make sure it is consistent
Some notables:
- API now extends to defining slides rather then just logic. All the old Node elements
have been replaced by API calls.
- Nodes are now referred to as Slides, to avoid confusion
- contains element array has been removed from defining slides. (Finally).
- Added OnExitSlide() method to replace slidechange function.
- Over slide images, ambient sounds, sounds and movies are all declared
independitly of slides then added to each slide.
And much more...
9/7/02 -- Delay slide chaining bug fix. Patch kindly provided by Drake Wilson. Zipmode feature
added. API change: Slidechange function now split into separate slidechange, onEntrance
and onExit functions.
6/7/02 -- movie.play_trigger(ArrayPos, myMovietriggerFn, useCursor) function added. Use this
function to call logic a control function function after the mpeg has finished playing. To see it in
action replace the movie.play function with the commented one behind it on line 157 of
demogame.py.
6/7/02 -- Basic in game objects now in CVS. Currently the objects cannot be used on slide but
I will add this feature in the near future.
29/6/02 -- CVS code now at 0.7.5.
- 28/6/02 API complete and now in. After a major code restructure
and some bug fixes the new API is ready to go. Ill just do some
minor code cleaning and bug fixes and unleash Pyzzle-0.7.5 onto
the public.
- 25/6/02 New API implemented. It is still WIP but it is comming
along nicely. Expect major changes to pyzzles file structure from now on.
to run pyzzle you now run demogame.py with python.
- 21/6/02 pyzzle now required pygame-1.5 or greater. Goto www.pygame.org to download the latest version.
Currently change ambient volume does not work. This will be fixed before the next package release.
- 28/2/02 Advanced navigation transitions committed. The
four options of None, Fastest, Normal and Best exist. Go and
check them out. Documentation has also been updated to cover
the usage of transitionfrom a game authors perspective.
- 31/1/02 Pyzzle code now uptodate with the new docs. Changes
include fixed spelling mistakes in sound functions and currentView
and nextView vars changed to currentNode and nextNode.
- 22/1/02 Loading and saving functions fixed. slide delay function added.
- 18/1/02 0.2 has been entered into CVS with the new Orbis enviro.
- 7/1/01 Pygames text module has been added it display text over
a slide and is highly configurable.
- 4/1/01 Pyzzle underwent a massive code restructure. Pyzzle now
consists of many small modules that are simple to work with. Do
not worry the game implementation side of Pyzzle has had only minor
changes. Real-time functions for game implementation have also entered
the scene. But more on those after the 0.2 release. mpeg play back
has been temp removed, but back very soon.
- 18/12/01 Mpeg looping play back has finally entered the scene.
Its really rough at the moment so things might get interesting if
you try to move the window or activate the menus etc... Its running
ok but I just hack it in and the code needs to be reexamined and
cleaned up. But its a start. A new dependency is required for Linux:
smpeg, get it installed before grabbing the cvs or things will not
work.
- 1/12/01 Go searching for 3 new buttons and click the top one
first. They all do things so have a good fiddle.
- There is a little flicker glitch when the images are clicked.
This will be resolved when I smarten the code. Its just caused because
all the images are reloaded and redrawn to the display surface when
and transition is made. Improving the functions so it one makes
the necessary redraws and reloads is on the books. But I just want
to get the rough features added. Then I'll smarten them up.
- Because all of the original gloom 3d files were lost the new
float over images look rather simple, (That is a major understatement
they are a joke) but they do display some basic but important properties
puzzles float over image feature has. - Saving and loading functions
are not working because I have not updated them to handle the new
logic states.
