pygame module out of memory

[João Pinto]

The pygame module is unusable, it produces an OOM during set_mode() .

Hi,

Ok.

Seriously, please give us more feedback:
- code you are testing,
- how many memory did you have before starting the app,
- how many during the app is running,
- how many after,
- on which device you are testing,
- android version,
- full backtrace log,
- etc etc...

Sharing so few information will just made your report invalid and people
will forget about it...

Thank you.

Mathieu

Hi,

adding more information:

Teste on Android 2.3,a smartphone and a tablet, same result on  both.

Device free memory:

# free -k

             total         used         free       shared      buffers

Mem:        431504       294572       136932            0         3084

-/+ buffers:             291488       140016

Swap:            0            0            0

Attached the helloworld app used and the logcat .

Ok, no, pygame alone doesn't work. As explained in the documentation:

"""If you want to use it without kivy module (an opengl es 2.0 ui
toolkit), then you might want a lighter java bootstrap, that we don�t
have right now. Help is welcome :)"""

Tom from renpy is interested about this project, but right now, if you
want to use only pygame, then contribute to the project to make it work,
or stick to psg4a :)

Ops, sorry, missed that on the documentation.
I am using psg4a, but I prefer the modular approach that you are using.

I am new to Android NDK apps, I will try to figure from psg4a what is required to bootstrap pygame.

Thanks
