Consult the logic bricks documentation for more information on how each logic brick works. There are also methods to access the current :class:`bge.types.KX_Scene` .. code-block:: python # Get the current scene scene = bge.logic.getCurrentScene() # Get the current camera cam = scene.active_camera Matricies as used by the game engine are **row major** ``matrix[row][col] = float`` :class:`bge.types.KX_Camera` has some examples using matricies. ********* Variables ********* .. data:: globalDict A dictionary that is saved between loading blend files so you can use it to store inventory and other variables you want to store between scenes and blend files. It can also be written to a file and loaded later on with the game load/save actuators. .. note:: only python built in types such as int/string/bool/float/tuples/lists can be saved, GameObjects, Actuators etc will not work as expected. .. data:: keyboard The current keyboard wrapped in an :class:`~bge.types.SCA_PythonKeyboard` object. .. data:: mouse The current mouse wrapped in an :class:`~bge.types.SCA_PythonMouse` object. ***************** General functions ***************** .. function:: getCurrentController() Gets the Python controller associated with this Python script. :rtype: :class:`bge.types.SCA_PythonController` .. function:: getCurrentScene() Gets the current Scene. :rtype: :class:`bge.types.KX_Scene` .. function:: getSceneList() Gets a list of the current scenes loaded in the game engine. :rtype: list of :class:`bge.types.KX_Scene` .. note:: Scenes in your blend file that have not been converted wont be in this list. This list will only contain scenes such as overlays scenes. .. function:: loadGlobalDict() Loads bge.logic.globalDict from a file. .. function:: saveGlobalDict() Saves bge.logic.globalDict to a file. .. function:: startGame(blend) Loads the blend file. :arg blend: The name of the blend file :type blend: string .. function:: endGame() Ends the current game. .. function:: restartGame() Restarts the current game by reloading the .blend file (the last saved version, not what is currently running). .. function:: LibLoad(blend, type, data) Converts the all of the datablocks of the given type from the given blend. :arg blend: The path to the blend file (or the name to use for the library if data is supplied) :type blend: string :arg type: The datablock type (currently only "Scene" and "Mesh" are supported) :type type: string :arg data: Binary data from a blend file (optional) :type data: bytes .. function:: LibNew(name, type, data) Uses existing datablock data and loads in as a new library. :arg name: A unique library name used for removal later :type name: string :arg type: The datablock type (currently only "Mesh" is supported) :type type: string :arg data: A list of names of the datablocks to load :type data: list of strings .. function:: LibFree(name) Frees a library, removing all objects and meshes from the currently active scenes. :arg name: The name of the library to free (the name used in LibNew) :type name: string .. function:: addScene(name, overlay=1) Loads a scene into the game engine. :arg name: The name of the scene :type name: string :arg overlay: Overlay or underlay (optional) :type overlay: integer .. function:: sendMessage(subject, body="", to="", message_from="") Sends a message to sensors in any active scene. :arg subject: The subject of the message :type subject: string :arg body: The body of the message (optional) :type body: string :arg to: The name of the object to send the message to (optional) :type to: string :arg message_from: The name of the object that the message is coming from (optional) :type message_from: string .. function:: setGravity(gravity) Sets the world gravity. :type gravity: list [fx, fy, fz] .. function:: getSpectrum() Returns a 512 point list from the sound card.

Only the fmod sound driver supports this. DSP can be computationally expensive. .. function:: getMaxLogicFrame() Gets the maximum number of logic frames per render frame. :return: The maximum number of logic frames per render frame :rtype: integer .. function:: setMaxLogicFrame(maxlogic) Sets the maximum number of logic frames that are executed per render frame. This does not affect the physic system that still runs at full frame rate. :arg maxlogic: The new maximum number of logic frames per render frame.

Use / as directory separator in path You can use '//' at the start of the string to define a relative path; Blender replaces that string by the directory of the startup .blend or runtime file to make a full path name (doesn't change during the game, even if you load other .blend). The function also converts the directory separator to the local file system format. :arg path: The path string to be converted/expanded. :type path: string :return: The converted string :rtype: string .. function:: getAverageFrameRate() Gets the estimated average framerate :return: The estimed average framerate in frames per second :rtype: float .. function:: getBlendFileList(path = "//") Returns a
