[pygame] PyGameSF meetup Tuesday March 24th 10th 6pm @ Main San Francisco Public Library
Hi All,
This months PyGameSF meet up is at the
STONG conference room on the
first floor of the main San Francisco public
library beside civic
center BART. The library closes at 8pm so we will be
reconviening to
frjtz on hayes street for dinner/drinks afterwords.
This month's
presentations
are:
- Casey Duncan: Going
Low-level, A peek under the hood at the C
implementation of the Lepton particle engine as an example of how
to
develop for Python in C for ultimate performance.
We'll take a peek
at
Lepton itself and take a crack at extending it
with C.
- Harry Tormey: Fast
prototyping Word games with python and
pyglet.
An introduction to working with pyglet, the
cross-platform
windowing and multimedia
library. This talk will cover how to
structure
a game with pyglet, how it differs from working with
pygame,
best practices for using the pyglet
event loop, working with OpenGL
vertex arrays
to manipulate text and general tips on how not to
go
insane if you are an OpenGL
newbie.
PyGame SF is an informal group meet up in San Francisco for
Software
engineers interested in python, OpenGL, audio, pygame,
SDL,
programming and generally anything to do with multimedia
development.
The format of our meetings typically involve several people
giving
presentations on projects they are developing followed by
group
discussion and feedback.
If anyone else would like to give a micro presentation, show demos
or
just talk about what they are doing or generally give examples of
any
relevant software they are working on please feel free to head
along.
