Code Archive

Here you can find various pieces of code, projects, products, etc. that Michael has worked on over the years. If you prefer to just wander around, browse on over to the directory. Otherwise, take the links below to descriptions in a guided search.

Some in-page links which also tell you what kind of code Michael has put here.

Python Pygame

Python [dir]

• htmldoc [.py] [doc] - generates a summary webpage for a module using clean HTML with CSS.
• hilight [.py] [doc] - generates a syntax highlighted version of a python script using clean HTML with CSS.

Pygame [dir]

• markfont [.py] [doc] - wrapper class for rendering fonts with wordwrap and markup
• gamemenu [.py] [doc] - utility class for simple game-pausing menus in a game
  • gmtest [.py] - example script shows how to use gamemenu as an import
• model [.py] [doc] - utility classes for 3D models and 2D "blits" with pyopengl
  • Example files simple.mf, texture.mf, and crate.bmp (thanks NeHe!) show off model.py
• ttfont [.py] [doc] - a proof of concept family/style font interface that requires ttmkfdir for font information (and xset for directory locations; not windows friendly). Careful if you have more fonts than memory; this test script displays them all.

Pygame Test Scripts

These scripts are quick hack jobs. They might make a good base for starting, or for figuring out some simple stuff. But they are poorly documented, and probably won't run correctly on your system without a few (hopefully obvious) changes.

• scroll [.py] - demonstrates speed of scrolling a "tiled" image.
• joy [.py] - initializes joysticks and shows all events.
• showjoy [.py] - graphically displays joysticks, given axis translation arrays.
• keytest [.py] - show the state of the keyboard graphically, both currently held keys (at the top) and a scrolling set of presses and releases along the bottom.
