pyprocgame is a high-level pinball development framework for use with P-ROC (Pinball Remote Operations Controller). It was written by Adam Preble and Gerry Stellenberg. More information about P-ROC is available at pinballcontrollers.com. See the pyprocgame site for the full pyprocgame documentation.
pyprocgame requires the following:
- Python 2.6
- pypinproc -- native Python extension enabling P-ROC hardware access and native DMD frame manipulation.
- setuptools -- required for procgame script installation. Also adds easy_install, a helpful installer tool for popular Python modules.
- pyyaml -- YAML parsing.
- One of the Python graphics and sound modules:
- Python Imaging Library (PIL)
To install pyprocgame: (depending on your system configuration you may need to use sudo)
python setup.py install
This will install pyprocgame such that you can import it from any Python script on your system:
import procgame.game
It will also install the "procgame" command line tool into a system-dependent location. On Linux and Mac OS X systems this will probably be in your path such that you can type, from the command line:
procgame
and see a list of available commands. If it is not in your path you can invoke it directly, or modify your PATH environment variable. Note that on Windows the procgame script is typically located in C:\Python26\Scripts.
Please see the pyprocgame Documentation site for the pyprocgame Manual and detailed API documentation.
