01:30 < heoa> https://github.com/heoa/TwoDeeWars/blob/master/main.py <-- could someone explain how to
change this game to moving alphabets?
01:31 < heoa> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geeksynapse.geox.TwoDeeWars <-- you can
see here a viedo
01:31 < heoa> I want to make the game so that objects moving faster are in the end of the alphabets
01:32 < heoa> I want to understand what the cubes are
01:34 < tshirtman> oooh, another game on market done with kivy :)
01:37 <+tito> heoa: where did you hear about it ?
01:37 < tshirtman> https://github.com/heoa/TwoDeeWars/blob/master/main.py#L130 that's what draws the
enemies
01:39 < tshirtman> the way he built it, the drawable class, makes it harder to do what you want i thin
...
01:40 <+tito> tshirtman: he came from pygame world
01:41 < tshirtman> tito: hmm, i do to, that's true i had a hard time 'getting' kivy at first
01:43 <+tito> and the pygame approach is really not efficient at all, but that's how we teach/read about
computer gaming in the first place...
01:43 <+tito> tshirtman:

01:43 < heoa> tito: I am very green here, could help me to make it better or guide how not to do things?
...
02:13 <+tito> heoa: his code start a clock to run an "update()" method 60x per seconds: L305
02:13 <+tito> in the update, at the end, he's updating ennemy, of class L110
02:14 <+tito> in the Ennemy.update() he is recreating a Rectangle()...
02:14 <+tito> Same for Pew class, or Player class
02:16 <+tito> and, because you only see one of them every frame, he's removing the object created from
the previous frame L39
02:16 <+tito> => thousand of graphics object are created each frame, and deleted next frame.
02:16 <+tito> so much GPU transactions :/
02:16 <+tito> and CPU calculations for nothing
...
02:22 <+tito> you have Label for that, you can play directly with Label widget etc
02:22 <+tito> but if you don't know anything about kivy, then just learn by yourself
02:22 <+tito> experiment, read tutorial, redo it, check examples etc.
02:23 < tshirtman> yeah, don't learn from that game's code, it's really not how one should do it ^^
02:24 < tshirtman> regardless of the game quality ^^
02:24 < heoa> back to pong?
02:24 <+tito> https://github.com/stocyr/Deflectouch
02:24 <+tito> this game is already more closer about kivy's spirit
02:25 < tshirtman> tito: oh man, you'll love the bug report that just came in ^^
