New page

Feel free to use this as a start for your own PND! This is pretty much the simplest PND possible. It will show a black screen for 2 seconds and then quit. Unfortunately, due to a bug in MiniMenu, this PND can only (as of HF5) be launched from XFCE.

== Overview ==

The PND has 2 files. First, "simplepytest.py", which is our executable application, and "PXML.xml" which the Pandora uses to launch the application correctly.

First, create a "simplepytest" folder in one of your application folders (i.e., "/pandora/menu").

== SimplePyTest.py ==

This file is the actual application that the Pandora executes.

Create a file called "simplepytest.py" and put the following contents in it. This will display a black screen for 2 seconds at the current screen resolution, using Python and Pygame.

<code>
#! /usr/bin/python

import pygame, pygame.locals
import time

pygame.init()

vidInfo = pygame.display.Info()
resolution = (vidInfo.current_w, vidInfo.current_h)

pygame.display.set_mode(resolution, pygame.locals.FULLSCREEN)

time.sleep(2)</code>

== PXML.xml ==

This file contains the information the Pandora needs to figure out where to display your game and how to execute it.

Create a file called "PXML.xml" and put the following contents in it:

<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<PXML xmlns="http://openpandora.org/namespaces/PXML">
<package id="simplepytest">

== Running Your Game ==

# Save all the above files.
# Make sure your Pandora is running the XFCE Gui.
# Unmount, then remove your SD card.
# Re-insert your SD card.
# The "Simple Py Test" game should appear in the Arcade Game folder.
