Pandora Pandora Gles Python Module Initial Release

[chris_c]

It has bugs of that you can be sure, more than happy with the speed despite the fact its unoptimised - no idea what frame rates you can get out of it - but I can tell you have more than enough speed for a game !

Please read thoroughly the documentation such as it is - including the example source code

Ignore stuff the doc about bug with creating a context, I know why its working and whats wrong, its more than usable and also fixed on my local version in prep for the next release...

I am not a programmer by any means, but does this mean, that frets on fire might work with acceleration? It is written in python but needs opengl acceleration.

Not without porting (I mean migrating code from pythonGL to this module)

But it would make it easier?

I am thinking of building a guitar, in which te Pandora can be plugged in. With a USBhub and a hacked joypad inside to register the frets and other controls.

But there is no software like frets on fire for Pandora.

I think someone got it working in maemo.
But with the ogl-stuff ripped out.

I did RTFM but I don't understand why I get an error on running gles-test.py:

File "gles-test.py", line 2, in <module>
import sys,ctypes
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes

How can I get it to run?

You need to install the ctypes python module.

I'll be making a new release soon, so I'll be sure to mention it!

sorry forgot about that!

After installing the ctypes package your demo runs fine. I don't understand most of your code though, no chance for me to make use of your module.

Please contribute examples for future releases....

What examples for future releases are you looking for? Would it help if you had some additional 3D content? That would be something I could contribute..
