The December 2008 issue includes Centos 5.2, Puppy Linux, and other goodies. In this particular issue, there's a guide for "Build[ing] your own driving game in under 100 lines of Python" and the source is included on the DVD. It works fine on YDL 6.1 / PS3 after installing the python-game package.
One thing, though ... the file permission on the font included with python-game is too restrictive. To fix it so that python-game programs using the default font will work properly:
Become root:
su -
<enter root password>
Change the permission on the font so it's readable by regular users:
- Code: Select all
chmod 644 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygame/freesansbold.ttf
Otherwise, you'll get an error message saying the freesansbold.ttf font was not found. I'll fix this in a future rebuild of the python-game RPM.
