This is fantastic, however I am not quite sure if I'm allowed use the menu in my own project? Also I found no other way contacting the author besides posting here.

Salut joe,
Je n'arrive pas à utiliser ce menu.
Sous Eclipse :
g = i.copy()AttributeError: 'Item' object has no attribute 'copy'
En shell, sous linux idem.
Je ne suis arrivé à lancer le module que sous Windows avec IDLE (Python GUI)
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\max\Workspace-eclipse\slidemenu\slidemenu\slidemenu.py", line 143, in <module> here = dirname(__file__)NameError: name '__file__' is not defined
La seule façon que j'ai trouvé c'est de le lancer par l'explorateur en double clic !!!!! Elle est où la feinte ....
Un petit fichier d'aide serait le bienvenu. Sinon, un superbe menu, avec des effets trés agréables.
very nice as usually

salut Max,
le problème name '__file__' is not defined est connu sous IDLE, c'est normal.
par contre je n'arrive pas à reproduire l'erreur AttributeError: 'Item' object has no attribute 'copy'
je suis sous linux/python2 et 3
Item hérite de Rect qui possède bien une méthode copy(), donc je ne comprend pas.
je cherche et te tiens au courant.
edit:
sans conviction, essayes de remplacer la ligne 28 par super(Item,self).__init__(menu)
et class Item(Rect) par class Item(Rect,object)
tu peux me contacter sur le chan irc de irc://irc.freenode.org/pygame
et irc://irc.freenode.org/python-...

very nice job, impressive, but... numpy is required? :(
slidemenu.py:48: RuntimeWarning: use surfarray: no module named numpy or Numeric found
(ImportError: no module named numpy or Numeric found)
surfarray.pixels_alpha(shadow)[:] /= 4

pygame.surfarray module is functional when pygame can use the external Numpy or Numeric packages.I added a try/except to correct this problem, but the shadow will be "solid black" if you do not have numpy.

Thank you Jo.
The try/except clause don't work properly for me (Windows XP, Python 3.1.4, Pygame 1.9.1)
Warning (from warnings module): File "slidemenu.py", line 48 surfarray.pixels_alpha(shadow)[:] /= 4RuntimeWarning: use surfarray: no module named numpy or Numeric found(ImportError: no module named numpy or Numeric found)
The menu appears regulrly with animation, then everything stops.
Forgive the insistence, but I wanted to take this wonderful work.
Excuse my bad English, I do not speak English so I use Google Translator :)

OK! 3.12 works fine ;) I will use slidemenu :)
If launched in IDLE:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "slidemenu.py", line 204, in <module>
    here = dirname(__file__)
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined
fixed in this manner:
    try:
        here = dirname(__file__)
    except:
        here = '.'

thanks for using slidemenu :)
the " NameError: name '__file__' is not defined " problem is specific to IDLE.

Note that the slidemenu will poll all pygame events. I created a patch (http://pastebin.com/ecucK169) that allows you to pass a callback function to the slidemenu, so you can handle the events in your application too (mostly you want to handle EXIT as lest.)

You should also cache the surfaces you rendered the text on, since font rendering is a very expensive operation in pygame. Here is my Fontrenderer I use in my game Regnancy: http://pastebin.com/r5pmngHk. It will cache all rendered text and also add a shadow to the text (without using numpy). Feel free to use it if you like.

Can you please post updates less frequently? It's unfair to bump you program over everyone elses and it makes it annoying to re-download

What license is this in? If you intend this to be in the public domain, I think you should make a README file specifying it. Just write "This program is released in the public domain" or something like that, it doesn't really matter as long as people can find your intention. If you don't specify it, the software will automatically become subject to copyright. If you want a license (which is a good idea) I recommend the GPL, which will ensure that software utilising this is free software. If you want non-free software to use this, but still want your software to be free software if it were to be redistributed, you can use LGPL. If you basically don't care what people do with it at all, you can use a permissive free software license such as the MIT license.

How does one go about linking things to the menu?
