pan does not follow pynguins

[GoogleCodeExporter]

fd(1000) pans the viewing screen a little, but then stops and the penguin moves 
off screen.  It would be great to be able to set a penguin as the center of the 
viewing screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
HEAD, Ubuntu 9.10

Added (somewhat experimental) tracking code.

set track_main_pynguin = True in conf.py

Tracks only the main pynguin, but a different pynguin can be
set as the main one with promote(pyn)

Let me know how it works out for you...

Works great so far; there's a bit of shudder if it gets within its buffer of 
the edge, which doesn't look so great (see attached OGG) but works.

The shudder when tracking is probably due to the fact that the pynguin movement 
is not animated smoothly, but jumps in discrete steps depending on the speed 
setting.

It should be possible to use the Qt animation framework to smooth out the 
pynguin's movements, and it is likely that would alleviate the shaky tracking.

I'm going to close this issue since tracking the pynguin is working. If the 
shudder really gets on your nerves, please open a separate report for that. 
Thanks!
