Pymunx

About

pymunx is an API for easily integrating physics into python (and pygame), using the chipmunk physics engine with the pymunk bindings. (See Python Physics for more infos.)

Status

The status is early and experimental, but already testable. Many functions of pymunk are not yet implemented, I'm quite on it and will post updates frequently the next time, so check back often :) I'll post my updates and demos here, on http://www.linuxuser.at/pymunx, and there's also a forum shared with pymunk and chipmunk.

Documentation

• Pymunx/Documentation
• pymunx.py also has a doc and short ref included

pyGame Example

The typical usage in pygame looks like this:

      import pygame
      from pygame.locals import *
      from pygame.color import *   

      from pymunx import *
       
      pygame.init()
      screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 800))
      clock = pygame.time.Clock()

      world = pymunx()
      world.add_wall((100, 200), (300, 200))
         
      # Main Game Loop:
      while running:
         # Event Handling
         # Maybe calling world.add_ball(event.pos) or world.add_square(event.pos)
         # ...

         screen.fill((255,255,255))

         # Update & Draw World
         world.update()
         world.draw(screen)

         # Flip Display
         pygame.display.flip()
          
         # Try to stay at 50 FPS
         clock.tick(50)
