Hi there, we have started with some people from our LUG (Linux User Group) a 'little' project, called LMMS (Linux Multimedia System). When it's 'finished' it shall be a window-manager for use on TV and handle with joysticks/gamepads.
As the name says, it is for multimedia-applications, like listening to music, watching videos and maybe playing some games. The idea is to create a gui for application like mplayer, ogg123, mpg123, cdrecord etc. For now there are some widgets for displaying images, labels and some messages. Actually there is a working LMMS with a little menu, an image-viewer and a CD-player. Supperted joysticks/gamepads are Gravis Gamepad Pro, Nintendo's SNES Pads, Microsoft's X-Box pad and keyboard. The whole project is written in python/pygame and can be found here: http://home.arcor.de/mfranke78/ There is a little mailinglist too (German & Yahoo): http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/dulugprojekt/ Remember that the whole project is very basic for now! But it seems to work. Greets, Marek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
