Re: [pygame] Can I download all game source files easily?



I would second checking out pyweek - you can go to a list of all entries in a given competition, and download from links there quite rapidly. Older Pyweek's some people made large torrents and zips for people to download to relieve pressure on the server, not sure if anyone does those anymore, been years.

Good luck!

Hey there. Unfortunately the projects on pygame.org are only informational. They link to offsite hosting services for the game files. And the project pages fall out of maintenance because the authors move on, and as you've seen hosting services come and go.

You could try Firefox web browser with the Slashgot or DownThemAll plugin. These are very convenient for selectively grabbing files from the links on a page. I'd spend a half hour grabbing, and then look through my download directory to see what I got. But this is going to get you a lot of duds and mystery zips, and things that aren't games or interesting toys. So the treasure hunt you've been on is probably the most fruitful approach.

Another interesting place to find working and often polished games is pyweek.org. There are Python games using various libraries, though many of the games there use pygame.

I am teaching a workshop to kids this week. I would like to demonstrate and
read a variety of source code from pygame projects.

Is there an FTP, directory, or archive to easily download every pygame's
source code?

There are many games and links to follow (600+), and it is a tedious
process. I have trouble downloading from some of the sites. Some websites
are down or do not exist anymore. Some are blocked at work (rapidshare,
megaupload, and sourceforge). Some are confusing. I have downloaded many
individually, but it is very time consuming and I am nowhere near complete.

I used this link last year and the kids loved it:
http://inventwithpython.com/inventwithpython.zip
But it only shows a small sample set of what PyGame can do.

Thank you for everything you do! This is another incredible library for the
amazing python programming language.
