A Simple Game Wip [Spooky Castle]

[spookyln]

Hi all,
after long time i have my gp2x working again.
I trying compile new python2.6, numpy and pygame in scratchbox but with no luck
Nevermind i changed some things and game run in old version of pygame for gp2x.
Here is video of WIP game. Still many things needed especially i need graphician .
Game runs pretty smooth on gp2x and gives me about 48fps with memory hack and without
overclock.Problem is music. I use .ogg and playing takes about 10-12 fps. no worry game fps
is stable on 30 with sound right now.more objects = low fps. now i rewriting engine to use 32x32 tiles
instead of 16x16.
Here is video. no worry no glitches in game. i recorded demo using recordmydesktop
Playable demo will be released right after Artway Party

Hi spooky2x,

Your game looks promising, I can't wait to play it !

I PM'ed Oddbot some time ago about a new Python/Pygame build, but I'm still waiting for a reply <_<

About your music issue, could you try to offload it to the second core (arm940t) ? I know it's pretty difficult to do though...

If you need a beta tester, count me in (F200 with Open2X DR 7)

Bye, and keep up the good work !

Hi spooky2x

your game is very nice...if you need also a beta tester with F200 (i'm on GPH firmware 4.1.1) count on me too .
Also i'm interested on a new version of Python/Pygame ...but don't have the skills to build a new version...hope Oddbot or someone could give you some hands.

Regarding the music in your game...have you tried to use .mp3 instead ?
maybe the decoder is much "light" than the ogg ..of course is just a suggestion..

Problem is sdl_mixer i think.
Now i must use mixer pre_init on 44100 16 bit stereo and buffer only on 256.
This gives me sound fx right after action. thats i need. other settings dont work (sfx and music played too fast)
But music is sometimes cripled especially playing .MODs
If i use large buffer about 2048 ,music is good but sound fx is lagging.
I need more time to check this feature. but background music isnt my priority.
I need change my DPAD
