Re: [pygame] Ongoing Development

I think Pygame 2 is dependent on SDL 2 mostly. It is just a thin CTYPE shell over the SDL 2.0 library. Pygame 2 was last updated in Nov, but you can get an updated SDL DLL from the website for newer code.

I've been working on a Pygame wrapper so old pygame code can run with Pygame2. That's not ready for prime-time at all.

Is PyGame2 ready for use in anger then? Last time I was kicking around, it was still early doors.

Which is prefered, PyGame1 or 2?

What are the benefits to either?

Sorry about all the questions, but most of the PyGame website seems out of date at the moment.

Hello,

I was just wondering what the state of PyGame was these days? I see there hasn't been a new version since 2009. I'm hoping its just because its so stable, but I wanted to be sure.

Is there another wrapper around SDL that people prefer now?

Is Python 3 fully supported yet?

Any information would be hugely appreciated!

Cheers
