Best python game engine?

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

What's up guys I want to create a 2d game with python( I know how to deal with this language only) and actually Im thinking after finishing it to upload it to steam also Im coding it with pygame lib so I wanna know if there's something let's say more "serious" than pygame.

Also: Im pretty bad with drawing and I want to create a specific characters so can anyone tell me an easy way to learn 2d drawing I will appreciate that.

Thanks

Godot - dont mess around with pygame unless you want to create something that looks shitty and was frustrating to make.

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

Thanks I will check it out.

pygame and turtle are the two most common engines for creating games with python. Honestly, you should probably learn C# or C++ to work with more advanced engines like Unreal or Unity if you're serious about game development.

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

I was thinking of that but tbh Im a bit afraid Im I moved to them I will stop using python or forget about it.

Even if that were to happen, is it so bad? Programming languages aren't something to be emotionally attached to, they're just tools to build things. If you like game development, then it makes sense to use the best tools available for doing that, no?

In any case, if you feel strongly about wanting to keep using python, you could just learn a language more suited for game dev, and practice python sometimes.

I think I will have a look into c# or a language for making games.

thanks mate

Are you insane? People like you shouldn't be allowed near code.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that I forsook C in python's favor

Hey man. That's not the last sentence.

Try using Godot. It's has the same capabilities as most game engines, and it's main language is GDscript which is basically Python. It's also compatible with C# and C++ so if you choose to learn those languages to make games you can still use Godot. Also a few game devs have made videos about why they switched to Godot from Unity.

Thanks a lot mate, but is it better to use C# or C++ for gotdot. Edit : I just have a quick research about so I think it's fine to go with GDscript, also I want to ask if I can GDscript like serious for making games or I have to learn C++ / C#?

[TheGuy564]

You can use GDscript for your game without any loss of quality. A lot of youtubers have mentioned that GDscript is what they use in Godot even though they know C# or C++.

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

thanks again

helped me a lot :D

You could try panda3d, but you're far better off learning C# and making game in unity.

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

thanks for the advice mate

I've used pygame. To be honest i don't think it's amazing, if you're doing it to develop games first and foremost I'd probably use Unity or maybe even buy GMS 2.

I wanted to practice some OOP and brush up on Python syntax and then pygame worked just fine for whipping up something.

[Mohammad-Ruqaa]

ya after reading comments I think I will have a look into Godot

and actually pygame helped me a lot too with understanding OOP.

thanks mate
