Re: [pygame] java pygame

["Edward Povazan" <epovazan@telus.net>]

I saw jsdl, I need a pure java solution ie no native libraries.
However I was under an impression that PyGame, being Python, used SDL using
the SDL python interface. That is no so.
So I might be best off implementing the PyGame API in Java. Then all the
Python examples should work from within Jython. This is not too hard (I
think) for what I will need. I was just hoping that I was not the only one
needing this, and that a project might have existed already.
Heh, heh, well, I still think this will be easier than porting Java to C++
or whatever, I need both applets and exe's so why not.
