    Smooth player movement PyGame?

    The event "KEYDOWN" will most likely fire only once at the moment you press the button down (same goes for KEYUP). You need to save the state the button is in, I recommend creating a "controller" or "input" class, which listens for these events and provides boolean variables of the state each...

    Month Reset...

    Luckily computers are very good at performing tedious and repetitive tasks with a simple pattern. A script could generate a list of people or even output a pre-formatted post in less than a second :) So technically that's not a huge deal, whether it makes sense is a totally different question...

    Month Reset...

    I feel like the thread congratulating the winners and recognition in general was one of the strengths of the old R.O.T. Being able to browse the scores by months on the website (or an UI) is fun and all, but does not beat a big announcement thread with images, trash talk and forum spotlight. I...

    Damsel in Distress (mouhaha)

    Nah sorry, I realized my time is too valuable to be spent arguing about such things on internet forums, I would much rather have a conversation about it (preferably real life, though Skype often times is fine, too), but I don't see the point either. Your effort to drag the matter into...

    Damsel in Distress (mouhaha)

    The most prominent example would be Kim Swift, who worked on Portal and Quantum Conundrum recently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Swift EDIT: There even is a Wikipedia article on the metter, probably a better effort than the video even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_and_video_games

    Damsel in Distress (mouhaha)

    You are right and if we keep thinking like that they will always stay that way, we will get more Call of Duties, less meaningful games, the medium will never grow up, and never be accepted alongside movies for example. I could go more in-depth on how you are wrong with the rest of your post...

    c4a.openpandora.org Website

    Oh yes, great idea, having Super Hexagon 6 times on the frontpage seems hardly necessary ;) Guess there needs to be some kind of "mode" implementation in C4A's standard (I would rather have this solved in the C4A backend than just the frontend)

    c4a.openpandora.org Website

    I agree with all of this :) There is a "games" drop-down on every detail page, but it's missing from the home page. Also navigating said drop-down is awkward, would be better as a scrollable list of fixed height instead of creating a dynamically sized list with every game visible, imo...

    The Tournament Hub (Launcher)

    You will need to run C4A-Mame first in order for it to set-up a C4A profile for you - currently The Tournament Hud won't/cannot do that (skeezix is working on a lib/app for this though, so ventually you will be able to manage your C4A Profile in The Tournament Hud). Also to be able to run any...

    Big commerial games on Pandora

    There is no Counter Strike for Android, everything that is available is just a cheap clone. other than that (all native): VVVVVV Super Hexagon (both developed by small teams <3 people, but so was Lugaru and World of Goo for that matter - by commercial success I would call them big) X-COM...

    Next compo ideas

    Hey man, no offence, but you seem to be missing the point of this thread. ;) It's to collect ideas on organizing the next compo (rules, judging, categories, prizes, timespan, etc.), not ideas for projects - I am pretty sure every developer has a few project ideas on his mind. People in here...

    Music that player remembers playback position

    Gmu http://wejp.k.vu/projects/gmu also has this feature, but it's not enabled by default (so you will have to edit a config file, it's simple though).

    The Tournament Hub (Launcher)

    No others are having exactly the same problems you are having. You have to realize this is a very early version of the program and as pmprog postes bugs and issues are to be expected. Even though the Pandora basically is a closed system hardware wise (it is not, but very very few people...

    Need Repairs or Upgrade? Here's What to do (and not to do)!

    So the currently preferred procedure is to fill out the RMA sheet and just send it in? (No prior e-mail or whatever required/needed/wanted)? (I am confused because usually you need to contact the seller first, see Amazon for example) This article lacks a simple answer to that question. The...

    Another idea, which might have been mentioned before: Winners and participators of the competition could get a corresponding forum badge (like "Rebirth Compo - Winner Original Games Category" or "2013 Compo - Participant" along with a fancy icon). It's pretty useless and only to show-off, but...

    Next compo ideas

    While I see your point, I strongly disagree. In the end it comes down to judging how much you enjoyed or used an entry and how much work the author has put into it. (in which you can compare different genres, although that also is a matter of taste of course) While you can enjoy a ported game...

    I do, any kind of words about the compo are fine really and posts on your blog are the closest we will come to "press" probably ;)
