This is a really useful set of links to keep around - much appreciated.

Hi,
There are a few different audio game engines for Python,
these include Earwax (beta), Lucia (which is supposed to be
more familiar to those coming from BGT, Framework (for want of a better
name), and pyAGE (which is still very much
in its early stages).
If you'd rather go the mainstream route, and don't mind a
little more work, there's Godot Accessibility.
Finally, for some subjective comparisons, see this thread on the audiogames.net
forum.
There are others, namely MonoGame,
and probably some other stuff in C# too.
Other than that, please just do everyone a favour (mainly
yourself), and don't use BGT. It's like deciding to dig
yourself a swimming pool, using a plastic bucket and spade for
digging, wattle and dorb for lining, and stiff prayer for
water purification.
HTH,
Take care,
Chris Norman
Hello, everyone. I have just joined the group, and I hope the distinguished
gamers and writers in this gaming community understand that I am very much a
beginner, trying to write perhaps a couple of simple dice or card games. I
wrote a dice game script in BGT, and the script doesn't generate any
compilation errors. However, the game window stays open only for a couple of
seconds, and then disappears, so none of the program's keystrokes can be
executed. I realize that BGT is no longer supported, but it does work under
Windows 10, and it is the only engine where I know how to implement
keystrokes and add and manipulate sounds. I checked basic tutorials for a
few programming languages, and realized that game logic can be programmed in
any of the languages but none of these tutorials addresses keystroke-driven
implementation, or addition of sound. And even in the BGT tutorial, I have
not found answers to some of my questions. The game I am currently trying to
write is a dice roller, but if one tries to create, for example, a card
game, how do you make a card playable? If cards exist as strings, or parts
of an array, or even instances of their own class, they are just abstract
logical structures. But cards need to be manipulated - picked up, discarded,
etc. If I have a hand with 5 cards, how do I program a way to navigate the
list of cards and then perform an action on a card currently in focus? How
to make it an element of interface so it can be selected? I hope I clearly
expressed my questions, and I am grateful in advance for any clarifications.
