Re: [pygame] Layout module for Pygame surfaces

Cool. A  GUI builder / editor would be useful.

Would it be better to design the format to be a non-specific toolkit?
You would edit your GUI , saving xml. Then the game render's using it's toolkit.


I don't have much experience with  different toolkits, so I don't know if it's best to specifically target one library?

On a related note, In a different thread, I found: ALBOW allows you to draw in 3d, while using 2d surface rendering.
