这次不是直接讲解下去,而是谈一下如何把我们写的游戏做成一个exe文件,这样一来,用户不需要安装python就可以玩了。扫清了游戏发布一大障碍啊!
perl,python,java等编程语言,非常好用,语法优美,功能强大;VB啥的,功能上编写的时候总有那么点不舒服的地方(个人见解),可是用户和受众极多,一个很大的原因就是:VB是微软提供的,可以很方便的编译(伪?)生成exe文件。有了exe,所有的Windows都能方便的使用了。
我们不能指望用户在玩我们的游戏之前都安装一个python和pygame,甚至还要装一些其他额外的库(比如上一章的gameobjects),这会吓退99%以上的人……所以把我们的游戏打包(注意是打包而不是编译,python毕竟是脚本程序)成一个可执行文件势在必行。
perl有perlcc(免费高效但配置极其复杂),perlapp(简单效果也不错但是收费)等工具;而对python来说,py2exe是不二之选,首先是免费的,而且压出来的文件,虽然不能和编译软件相比,还是不错的了。
到py2exe的官方网站下载安装包,注意要对应自己的python版本。
py2exe是需要写一个脚本进行打包的操作,使用下面这个专为pygame写就的脚本(参考py2exe官方),可以极大的方便打包操作,注意在使用前修改BuildExe里的各个参数
可以先从简单的程序开始,有了一点经验再尝试打包复杂的游戏。
一些Tips:
- 如果执行出错,会生成一个xxx.exe.log,参考这里的log信息看是不是少打包了东西。
- 一开始可以使用console来打包,这样可以在命令行里看到更多的信息。
- 对于每一个游戏,基本都需要拷贝上面的原始代码修改为独一无二的打包执行文件。
- 即使一个很小的py文件,最终生成的exe文件也很大(看安装的库而定,我这里最小4.7M左右),事实上py2exe在打包的时候会把无数的不需要的库都打进来导致最终文件臃肿,如果你安装了很繁杂的库(wxPython等)更是如此。使用zip打包以后查看里面的库文件,把不需要的逐一加入到self.exclude_modules中,最后可以把文件尺寸控制在一个可以接受的范围内。
2011/08/21 追记:
很多人在打包使用Font模块时出现问题,这里需要把sdl_ttf.dll声明为非系统文件,我已经修改了脚本默认就加入了。而且建议,如果将来是确定要打包为exe的,那么就不要使用系统字体,即”pygame.font.SysFont(xxx)”,而是使用字体文件,然后打包时将文件当作图片等一起打包,这样出问题的概率会大大降低。

感谢blues_city网友,“dist_dir”应该是属于py2exe的特有options而不是setup的。
欢迎大家试用并提出建议,不断完善这个脚本。

Here is a sample script to compile a pygame app to a standalone windows application. It includes a hack to include pygame default font into executable file.
Just edit value in BuildExe.__init__ to fit you needs. This will only work for GUI apps, change "windows =" to "console =" in setup command would do the job.
To have a zipfile with libraries, just specify a zip file name. If you don't specify an icon file name, pygame icon will be used.
Changes by arit:
For this script to work I *had* to modify my font call in my game from Font = pygame.font.SysFont(None,16) # the created .exe does not run to Font = pygame.font.Font("freesansbold.ttf", 16) and additionally copy freesansbold.ttf into the same directory as the created .exe I also needed to add sdl_ttf.dll to the check for include files (see comment in source code bellow) (This has been suggested by http://*.com/questions/6376194/font-module-error-when-using-py2exe) Then I saved the script bellow as game2exe.py in the same directory as my MyApps.py file. From the command promt inside this very directory I then executed the script by writing python game2exe.py Then I had to manually copy freesansbold.ttf into the subfolder "dist" where the MyApps.exe is created. Windows7 64bit Enterprise, Python 2.7.2, pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7
# This will create a dist directory containing the executable file, all the data
# directories. All Libraries will be bundled in executable file.
#
# Run the build process by entering 'pygame2exe.py' or
# 'python pygame2exe.py' in a console prompt.
#
# To build exe, python, pygame, and py2exe have to be installed. After
# building exe none of this libraries are needed.
#Please Note have a backup file in a different directory as if it crashes you
#will loose it all!(I lost 6 months of work because I did not do this)
