# Notes while working on Kivy
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup of Kivy
|
||||
- Went with pip install setup on Ubuntu 15.10 x86-64:
|
||||
1. Fork and clone the Kivy repo:
|
||||
1. Create a virtualenv
|
||||
1. Installed the following dependencies:
|
||||
```sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev \
|
||||
libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev zlib1g-dev```
|
||||
1. `pip install -e .`
|
||||
1. `make test` to verify working setup.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Linux Device Issues:
|
||||
- Running into device permission errors, mostly like caused by the touchscreen or touchpad:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[INFO ] [GL ] NPOT texture support is available
|
||||
Exception in thread Thread-1:
|
||||
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
||||
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner
|
||||
self.run()
|
||||
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 763, in run
|
||||
self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
|
||||
File "/home/dorian.pula/pycon_sprints/kivy/kivy/input/providers/mtdev.py", line 219, in _thread_run
|
||||
_device = Device(_fn)
|
||||
File "/home/dorian.pula/pycon_sprints/kivy/kivy/lib/mtdev.py", line 143, in __init__
|
||||
self._fd = os.open(filename, os.O_NONBLOCK | os.O_RDONLY)
|
||||
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/input/event7'
|
||||
|
||||
[INFO ] [Base ] Leaving application in progress...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Adding user to `input` device did not work.
|
||||
- This *may* work: https://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-can-i-set-permissions-so-hid-can-read-devices-in-gnu-linux
|
||||
|
||||
## Tutorial Improvements:
|
||||
- [Adding Ball Animation](https://kivy.org/docs/tutorials/pong.html#adding-ball-animation)
|
||||
- Add in placeholder variable to describe the random direction of the ball.

## Kivy language
|
||||
- [Documentation for Kv language](https://kivy.org/docs/guide/lang.html)
|
||||
- Documentation on language does not have an explicit section on adding comments.
|
||||
- Nice to have tips for syntax-highlighting inside Kv files for PyCharm.
