A Simple Python Game Engine?

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Is there anyone else out there that is looking for this? A simple Python (2D) game engine? I’m not talking about something like PyGame, PyGlet, or Rabbyt, all of which are very good at what they do. What I’m talking about may use these technologies (I’m thinking PyGlet and Rabbyt) but would do so […]

Thanks for the great ideas

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I’d like to thank everyone that commented on my last post, and everyone that has emailed me ideas. They are all very much appreciated. It’s hard keeping up with everything that is happening in the Python world, and sometimes the coolest things are happening in far off places.

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Personally I’m looking forward to Python 3.0, I don’t know if I’ll like the break in backwards compatibility but a lot of the changes seem great.
Making the print statement a […]

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Hello everyone,
I know that this blog has been rather quiet lately, but you can talk to my boss about that…but I think things are going to cool down a bit soon and I will be able to start posting here again regularly, and not just tutorials.
For the next little while I will be away from […]

Monday, April 9th, 2007

If you are interested in the Spanish tutorials check […]

Just a quick note for everyone, I will be unable to answer any comments on this blog or posts on the forum all weekend as I will be moving and we all know what happens when the phone companies swear that your high speed will be back up on a certain day.
So who knows, I […]
