Creating Games with Pygame (Linux Journal)

[Posted July 27, 2004 by ris]

Linux Journal has a tutorial on using Pygame for game development. "Python is an excellent language for rapid application development and prototyping. With Pygame, a wrapper built around SDL, the same can be true for games. In addition, because its built on top of Python and SDL, Pygame is highly portable."

Unfortunately the article makes a number of mistakes and poor recommendations (see my comments on it). :( Luckily, Pygame comes with several good tutorials, and more are available linked from its website (http://www.pygame.org).

I wholly recommend Pygame to anyone interested in game programming.
