pgreloaded 2.0.0-alpha5 was released.
pgreloaded (Pygame2) is an ongoing rewrite of the Pygame multimedia and
game framework. As Pygame, its purpose is to make writing multimedia
applications, such as games, with Python as easy as possible, while
providing the developer a reliable and extensible programming interface.
It features a modular and loosely coupled package and module layout and
access to the most features of the libraries it wraps.
pgreloaded can be installed side-by-side with Pygame as it uses a
different package namespace and thus will not cause any conflicts with
another Pygame installation.
*** This is an alpha release for testing purposes and not meant to be
run in production environments.
*** This is the last alpha release for pgreloaded 2.0.0. No new features
will be implemented now. Instead it is going into a testing period
with several release candidates.
TEST IT! :-)
