๐Ÿฑ‍๐Ÿ — the first pygame 2 community game. Starting now! Are you in?

What is a ๐Ÿฑ‍๐Ÿ? *[0]. There was this email thread on the pygame mailing list. " About Pygame development ". One topic of that conversation was doing a community game in there for reasons(see below). I would like to do a pygame 2 community game to submit in the: - https://ldjam.com/ - https://itch.io/jam/game-off- 2018 (GameOff github jam) Ludumdare(ldjam) starts in 3 days, 7 hours. Theme not selected yet. GameOff finishes in 4 days 2 hours. Theme is "Hybrid ", Jam already started. So, the Jams finish in 4.1 days.   Are you in?  If so join the web based chatroom (discord) in the "#communitygame" channel. Our repo: https://github.com/pygame/stuntcat I'm trying to form a team now. ... read more?... click.... loading... loading... buffering... loading... refresh... loading... So why do this?

(and also, now these examples also work...     python -m pygame.examples.aliens     python -m pygame.examples.scroll ) I'm pretty sure all the examples are now working with SDL2/pygame 2. New SDL2 functionality. Also we have some new SDL2 functionality exposed     (experimentally, the APIs are not done yet). Multitouch, and AudioDevice, along with an example of recording audio. @dlon has been fixing a number of bugs(implementing key repeat, fixing unicode issues) and also prototyped some Window/Renderer classes (using ctypes and python). The new events are done in a backwards compatible way, so that games using them with pygame 1/SDL1 will still work. You just won't get the events. if event.type == pg.AUDIODEVICEADDED:     print('a new sound card plugged in... let's offe

Drawing data. With #flask, and #matplotlib.

Here's a pretty simple example of using the Flask microweb framework, and matplotlib together. Matplotlib is a graphing library used by a lot of people in python. But how to serve your graphs up in a web browser as a png or an SVG image? Code is in this gist: flask matplotlib . Serving svg and png images with Flask and matplotlib. here is what it looks like Code is in this gist: flask matplotlib .

Josh Bartlett — pygame Artist in Residence

The pygame Artist in Residence grant celebrates the Python arts community and lends a tiny bit of support to someones art practice. Josh Bartlett was the first recipient. An artist residency usually works something like; a person spends some time in either a gallery making something to present or in a music club doing a weekly spot. The pygame artist in residence will do it in their own space, but be present on the top of the pygame website in the form of a thumbnail and a link to their patreon/blog/artist statement/website/whatever. Josh Bartlett was the first recipient, and has been featured on the pygame website in October.  Please see the pygame artist in residence profile page for more info. What has he been up to?  Go to his blog to find out. ps. Thank you to everyone who applied, and those who helped with selection. Hopefully the next one will go more smoothly as the process is improved.
