Announcing Owyl 0.3.0.

[David Eyk]

I'm pleased to announce Owyl 0.3.0. Now, with an example!

New features:

* Working(!) boids example.
* Including tests for some of the vector math.
* Man, I hate vector math.
* Child handling has now been pushed into parent behaviors.
* Previously, children were only run once, and then
re-instantiated on the next iteration (oops!).
* Parent must call children before yielding them.
* visit will call the root task of its tree.
* Non-working decorators now work.
* I think parallel is really working right now.

Also if you're doing vector stuff I recommend getting http://code.google.com/p/pyeuclid/
into your code.

You know, I shouldn't release code after my bed-time.

The example requires memojito, which you'll find at <http://
pypi.python.org/pypi/memojito>. Sorry about that!

I'll look into pyeuclid, for sure. It all seemed easy, until I started
doing it.

OK, with that installed the boids example works fine :)

Glad to hear it. It's not an extremely complicated example--the
flocking algorithm is simple enough, it doesn't really need the
complexity of a behavior tree. I added some acceleration behaviors
just to spice it up, though now they look less like birds and more
like fish.

I thought something simple would be good to start with. I'll get to
work on a more advanced scenario for a future release.

BTW--I haven't been able to get the pyglet/cocos framerate counter
working for this example. The default hotkey doesn't seem to work
(though I *can* get an interpreter). Is that possibly because I'm
using a ScrollableLayer? Or am I just missing something obvious? (I'll
look at it more closely later, and bring it to the cocos-discuss group
if I can't figure it out.)
