Re: [pygame] Pygame's future beyond 1.8
(My main summary post from earlier today stands as my definitive opinion. But here is some
more general blah blah blah from me ;) )
Sure. However I have these planned... I already have a basic ADD
32bit blit routine written, and plan to make mmx versions for each of
the new blit routines which were written in C.
This same code could be used for pygame ctypes if it wanted.
For example the current pygame draw, image, and transform modules
should be able to be used from pygame ctypes. So maybe there is no
point in rewriting them in C for pygame ctypes since they already
exist in pygame.
Actually, we should probably contact the author of SDL_gfx (okay - I've CCed him this) and s
ee if we can get some of our stuff added to that library. SDL_gfx is already included in ma
ny distros and (I think) pygame depends on it already. All the blending code we (Rene and I
) worked on would do well to be added to that library. I have some other line and circle dr
awing functions I would like to see in pygame, but would probably do better to have them add
ed into SDL_gfx and then added into pygame.
(My line and circle drawing stuff is ultra-nice-anti-aliased, with support for all blending
functions.)
Again, this would be a way for pygame and pygame-ctypes to have additional functionality th
at would be readily available from a standard library of sorts.
