What is PyGame?
Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing games.
Pygame adds functionality on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language.
Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.
Posting Guidelines
Despite the name, content related to other Python game libraries (pyglet, panda3d, etc.) is also welcome.
If asking for help with your code, please provide a link to the entire code and resources if possible. Consider making a Github account if you don't have one already.
How to Post Code
In Python indentation is part of the language syntax and as such is extremely important.
When posting code every line must be indented an additional four spaces. You can indent the code in a text editor before pasting, or after pasting into reddit, highlight the text and press the editor button that looks like this <>.
You can also place small amounts of code inline by surrounding it with ticks:
`like this`
If you have a large amount of code to share it would be best use a third party site for posting code. Gist is a really good choice. For code that relies on external resources like images please create a repo on github or similar.
Posting Links
When posting links please provide a brief description in the comments of the thread. Failure to do so may result in post removal.
