Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 004.
... working on hacking game code , you can test two version of the unfinished game with agentpy at my pagure Fedora account.
* Hack the code based on minimal information versus total information.
The code has 5 distinct letters.
- click on the letters on the keypad
- the number of guessed letters is displayed in the form: centered - guessed letters on positions and moved guessed letters but on other positions
NOTE: the source code is under development, I need to enter a scroll to be able to enter more codes with letters

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 003.
I have upgraded the source code with the following changes:
- added agent with logic using the python agentpy module;
- I increased the grid to 16 x 16;
- I kept the win condition at 8 pieces aligned in any direction;
- I added conditions for displaying the equality message;
The game is hard to win, you can try on my pagure account.

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 001.
I started a game project with the python packages pygame and agentpy in the Fedora 42 Linux distribution.
I used this version of Fedora:
[mythcat@fedora fedora_game]$ uname -a
Linux fedora 6.11.0-63.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep 15 17:14:12 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
... and this python version:
Python 3.12.3 (main, Apr 17 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 14.0.1 20240411 (Red Hat 14.0.1-0)] on linuxYou can find it on my fedora pagure repo

Fedora 39 : Issues in Fedora with PyGobject and sway-tests.
Today I wanted to test this repo named sway-tests.
I followed the steps there and received an error from gi.repository.
This error is related to another issue related to PyGobject.
In Fedora Linux distro, installing PyGobject is done with pip like this:
$ pip install PyGobjectIn order to have no errors, the dnf or dnf5 tool should be used like this ...

I tested the functionality of this installation with a simple example:
import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk
win = Gtk.Window()
win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()It worked very well.
After solving this issue, I returned to the initial one and tested the sway-tests.
$ whereis sway
$ env/bin/pytest --sway=/usr/bin/sway
$ sudo env/bin/pytest --sway=/usr/bin/sway
I used the command both with and without sudo.
Both generated the same errors.
For the following command I had to install ... xorg-x11-server-Xephyr:
Xephyr is an X server which has been implemented as an ordinary X application. It runs in a window just like other X applications, but it is an X server ...
... the fixed centered black window specific to the xorg runtime appeared and somewhere on the side the terminal showed me a bunch of errors.
... obviously, I don't know how well sway-tests is implemented, now it's an archived repo, but I solved the use of PyGobject in python on the Fedora linux distribution.
