T.D., I updated the instructions with patch files to SDL_mixer. I hope this helps.

If anyone can help make an RPM for this please let me know.

Breaks on my Debian system, looks like the same issue as was on Ubuntu:

vroomDemo.py:537: RuntimeWarning: use mixer: /usr/local/games/vroomDemo/pygame/mixer.so: undefined symbol: Mix_QueueChannel
pygame.mixer.pre_init(22050,-16,1,512)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “vroomDemo.py”, line 605, in ?
mso = error.errOut()
File “/usr/local/games/vroomDemo/error.py”, line 27, in __init__
self.font = pygame.font.Font(”freesansbold.ttf”, ptsize)
pygame.error: font not initialized

Richard,
Thanks for trying it out. Looks like I forgot that the new SDL_mixer symbol isn’t in pygame. I updated the package to include the SDL_mixer library. Please see the updated directions on how to run.

BTW the pygame clock will tell you elapsed time. You ask it to set a frame rate and you get the delta t back (for example, 30FPS:

clock = pygame.clock.Clock()
dt = clock.tick(30)

The dt value is the milliseconds since the last call to clock.tick()

Sorry, it breaks under Ubuntu: [Thanks for pointing this out. This has been fixed.]
