Publishing Gameplay Video

This post to WeVideo’s blog introduces how to start publishing gameplay video content or live streaming to YouTube and reviews the major genres: Getting paid to play: 6 steps to becoming a YouTube gamer. It's a good, well-researched overview of the big gaming video business, with practical advice and tips.

Although I'm not into gaming, this introduction is useful to understand the business of YouTube content production also in other genres.

WeVideo is my favorite cloud video editor. I used it to make a trailer of one of my Google+ collections.

Two Books About the Kivy GUI Framework

Image
The Kivy Python GUI framework is intriguing.

Not only it’s cross-platform but also supports Android. Java is too verbose and low level for me and Kivy is an opportunity for developing native Android apps without leaving Python.

Outside of the Kivy project documentation, there are few third-party advanced tutorials that go in more depth than the official tutorials. So, before diving into the code of the Kivy demos, I wanted some books to explore more features and get a broader picture of the framework and what it can do.

I found two potentially interesting books: Building Android Apps in Python Using Kivy with Android Studio: With Pyjnius, Plyer, and Buildozer by Ahmed Fawzy Mohamed Gad (Apress, 2019), and Kivy - Interactive Applications and Games in Python - Second Edition by Roberto Ulloa (Packt, 2015).

I read both and here are my impressions.

How to Use Kivy on Repl.it

Image
I made the Kivy Python cross-platform GUI framework work in a GFX REPL on Repl.it. Repl.it is a multi-language cloud IDE with good support for Python.

To use Kivy on Repl.it, just create a Pygame REPL, which is among the Kivy dependencies, and install Kivy with the package manager or by adding kivy to requirements.txt. Starting such a REPL in a new session takes a while to download and build the required libraries, at least several minutes. So be patient.

This REPL runs the Kivy Showcase, a demo app that showcases some of Kivy’s features.



The demo works fine except for a few overlapping widgets in the top bar. And it has some latency issues, but the poor performance is mostly a consequence of the experimental state of GFX.

If you adjust the handles along the edges of the REPL panes to close all the panes except the app’s, you can use most of the web page area. Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like. I can’t wait for GFX to support running graphical apps as a website, like it’s now p…

Hello, Planet Python!

Image
Planet Python is now syndicating the posts about Python of my blog. Thanks to the project maintainer Bruno Rocha for letting me join.

You may think of Planet Python as the all-you-can-eat source of Python content.


It’s an aggregator of dozens of blogs, podcasts, and other resources on the Python programming language. It syndicates posts that cover Python or are of interest to the Python community. Planet Python is a terrific resource for learning the language and keeping up with what’s going on in its ecosystem. I highly recommend that you subscribe to the RSS feed of Planet Python.

If you’re reading this on Planet Python, hi there!

About me I’m Paolo Amoroso, an Italian astronomy and space popularizer, a Google expert, and a podcaster. I’m a Python beginner as I started learning the language in December 2018. But I have been a hobby programmer since the home computer revolution of the early 1980s. And I have always had a soft spot for programming languages, paradigms, and compilers.
