Pytmx anyone?

Postby LecktheTech » Mon Feb 15, 2016 2:47 pm

Has anyone here used Pytmx? I'm currently reading through the code, and am planning to use it in a programming project.
(I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring what the basic list of functions is.

never used python. You should check out Erlang, its bug-proof and requires extremely little code. WhatsApp uses Erlang. You can modify code during RUNTIME with erlang. But if you alredy started using Pytmx go with that lol xD

It looks interesting, but I'm already into python.

Besides that, a language without classes would be difficult to wrap my mind around. It does look rather easy to pick up.

when I say bug-proof you should take it with a bit of salt, if you use erlang, or any language in general you should be carefull when using floats. Since a computer only uses binary when calculating it will not give you exact calculations due to it having to round off the value. One "bug" in erlang is for instance: 0 is not equal to 0.0

So how much coding do you do?

not as much as I should do. Im planning to learn C++ combined with OpenGL on my own.

.......

and you can mix any language with Erlang processes if you want :P ...................

Enjoy dealing with memory leaks. Hehehhehe

if memory is handled correctly it will stop random lag from occuring during animations and performance will increase

I'm referring to when you have two of the same instance, like for example, having two hardware surfaces, and having no way to distinguish the two.

Not sure what you mean by two hardware surfaces. As long as you dont borrow functions or code there shouldnt be an unmanagable issue to keep track of pointers.

With SDL, the "screen" is called a surface. You can write to the surface, change the surface, update, etc

not sure why it has to result in a memory leak. you could shut down a surface before starting a new one. Alternatively, control what is shown on one single screen with the help of threads and mutexes.

At the same time, it would cause a memory leak, if no precautions are taken.

it is impossible to do two things at the same time. Code is executed one line at a time.

If you creat one surface, and then create another with no way to distinguish them, there will be a memory leak.
Lets just drop this thread, shall we? It's rather repetitive.
