[pygame] GUI toolkit for Python for Android



Hello list,

I am trying to write a game in Pygame for my Android mobile phone. I am using Pygame Subset for Android (http://pygame.renpy.org/) and that seems to work pretty well; at least, it has made it easy for me to program the main part of my game (with sounds, images, text and input) and push the game to my phone.

However, the problem I face now is that I need to add some GUI elements and I'm not aware of any resources that make it easy for me to do this in pgs4a. I don't want to write my own dialogs, choosers, HTML renderers or scrolling boxes from scratch if I can possibly avoid it.

I wondered if Phil's Pygame Utilities (http://code.google.com/p/pgu/) could help but I'm not sure if it works on pgs4a. Alternatively, there might be other modules/toolkits I could use with pgs4a, or I might be best to abandon pgs4a and work with something like Python for Android (http://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/) and Scripting Layer for Android (http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/) - but I suspect pgs4a is the best option for me if I can find a way through this GUI thing.

What do you recommend I do?

Thanks! and cheers
A.
