"Alex Holkner and Richard Jones will demonstrate pyglet
(http://www.pyglet.org),
a relatively new module for Python for
developing graphics/multimedia applications and games.
pyglet
allows programs to open multiple windows on multiple
screens,
draw in those windows with OpenGL, and play back audio and
video
in most formats. Unlike similar libraries available, pyglet
has
no external dependencies (such as SDL) and is written
entirely
in Python.
After introducing the major features and uses of pyglet,
we'll give a
half-hour tutorial, in which a complete game will be written
from
scratch, right before your eyes. We'll also talk about the
issues we
encountered in writing a Python-only library for Linux and
how they
were resolved, and the benefits and pitfalls of using Python
as a
cross-platform development language."
We'll be starting about 7:30pm.
It's at the Evan Burge Building at the South-East corner of
Trinity
College in Melbourne University.
