pygame makes me waste my time
Today I had some free time so I decided to take back python programming to add some features I had in mind for the pyncel app.
But then I discovered an anoying bug, if you resize the window the mouse messages from pygame don’t work properly, they are limited to the old size, so if the new window is bigger, when the mouse moves outside the old size it stop sending messages, and when it sends it, the position is always in the old border.
I track the problem till pygame, and I discovered that it is just a bug, nothing else to say. I guess the problem is some kind of ‘if’ statement inside pygame code, because I’ve been working with SDL for long time and it never gave me this problem
The weird thing is that I’ve been trying to find more people commenting this bug and there is no trail. And being such an obvious error I’m dazed. Maybe is a problem that only arises with Windows 7
So this is why I comment it here, with the keywords to help search engines: pygame VIDEORESIZE mouse border problem error. I hope somebody finds this post somebody and stop wasting time with pygame.
No improvements to my app today.
