- So I tried not to run Twisted in another thread, by using the way<br>
described here [2]. Twisted is given the main loop and the<br>
rendering is done frame by frame with the coiterate. It works sometimes,<br>
the renderOneFrame in the coiterration is not really working.</blockquote><div><br>I hadn't seen that discussion thread before, and I'm not that familiar with coiteration.<br><br>What I'm currently doing is this:<br>
<br>def renderFrame():<br> ogre.WindowEventUtilities.messagePump()<br> root.renderOneFrame()<br><br> renderSystem._initRenderTargets()<br>root.clearEventTimes()<br>renderTask = task.LoopingCall(renderFrame)<br>renderTask.start(0.01, False)<br>
reactor.run()<br><br>I do my keyboard and mouse capture in a frame listener which I register with Ogre.<br><br>It works, but I've only done a little bit of network activity (e.g. an IRC client).<br><br>If any Twisted experts would care to comment on the above code, I'd appreciate it.<br>
<br>I'm also wondering what would be the advantages of using a coiterator...?<br><br></div></div>-- <br> Bernie Roehl<br> Mail: <a href="mailto:broehl@gmail.com">broehl@gmail.com</a>
