Congrats to Al Sweigart on his new book! "Making Games with Python & Pygame" - Feb 19, 2012A new pygame book has been released by Al Sweigart, author of the book Invent your own computer games with Python. [“Making Games with Python & Pygame” covers the Pygame library with the source code for 11 games. “Making Games” was written as a sequel for the same age range as “Invent with Python” Once you have an understanding of the basics of Python programming, you can now expand your abilities using the Pygame library to make games with graphics, animation, and sound.] In support of the internet rebellion against SOPA pygame.org is going hot pink! - Jan 18, 2012Here is what the Electronic Frontier Foundation has to say about it. PyGameZine - Nov 20, 2011
Ludumdare and PyWeek finished. - Sep 19, 2011The PyWeek and Ludumdare game development competitions are finished.
The Ludumdare competition had a massive 599 finished entries this time. The voting has finished now, so go check out the winners. PyWeek had 110 finished entries, and voting has just began. So it is time to play the entries and vote on them (if you submitted a game yourself). Congratulations to anyone who participated in either of the game jams. pygame sprint at pyconuk, and virtually. Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th of September - Sep 15, 2011There is going to be a virtual sprint, combined with a real life pygame sprint in the uk. What that means, is a weekend of hacking on pygame. More details here if you want to join in. Pygame issues and version control migrated to bitbucket and mercurial - Sep 8, 2011We've entered the tenties, and moved over to one of pythons favourite version control systems mercurial. This is hosted by the kind folks over at bitbucket. Big thanks to seul.org who have previously hosted our subversion and even cvs version control accounts. Here is the pygame bitbucket page: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame. This should make it easier to administer, and also for external developers to collaborate more. So if you've been thinking about hacking on pygame - now is your chance! We've also migrated our bug tracking from bugzilla to bitbucket issues. Thanks to James Paige, who has been running our bugzilla over the years. We have converted all of the bugs into issues - and given them a little bit of attention whilst we were at it too. The new url for pygame issues is here: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues To see more information about the migration please see the mailing list or see this migration issue. Pyweek 13. Sunday the 11th of September to Sunday the 19th of September - Sep 2, 2011

pyconuk 24th, 25th of September. - Aug 27, 2011
Ludumdare 48h on this weekend. I'm in. - Aug 18, 2011www.ludumdare.com/compo/ <~-,. it's all there. ♥ New comments for projects. - Apr 29, 2011There is a new commenting system for projects. It uses the disqus engine, which is a super pro commenting system (written in python too!). Now you can make comments without logging into pygame.org, it handles spam, it does gravitars, aggregates comments from websites like reddit, HN, and others. It also does 'link backs' and other cool made up nonsense. One cool thing is that you can get emails when someone comments on your project. So it helps you discussion of your projects with people. So if you want to get emailed when someone writes about your project... well now you can!
The old commenting system is still there below the disquss ones, so nothing is lost. You can also still post a comment with your pygame.org account if you want. The best thing is now people don't have to log in to post a comment anymore. "Many times in the past I have wanted to make a comment but just didn't put the effort into registering". Hope you like it! pygame has a Twitter account @pygame_org - Apr 29, 2011twitter.com/pygame_org
If you want to hear tweets from our snakey with the controller stuck in its mouth follow @pygame_org. It might also mention pygame related 'news' by retweeting stuff you people write about pygame. If you are reading this, you are using the new webserver - Apr 18, 2011Testing. Testing. 1, 2, 3. Echo. Echo. We've migrated pygame.org to a new webserver. Subversion, and mailing lists are still at the seul servers. I hope everything is working ok. Welcome. |
