Hi Bryan, As I had just mentioned in my previous email py game API is what you need if you want to have gaming input and audio for games. Especially, if you don't have the skill to import SDL, DirectX, or whatever yourself into your games. py tts is for Sapi 5 engines, but I think I could honestly write a Sapi 5.1 wrapper that would do better. The nice thing about Python I like for gaming is that you can directly import C++ libs into your Python based applications so if you wanted to do the grunt work it is possible to write games using DirectX 9 or XNA just by referensing the proper libraries. If you want something that has all the power of DirectX Directsound with cross platform abilities you could write a Python wrapper around Open AL which truely sounds amazing. Their 3D audio processing is first rate on Linux and Mac. The problem you will find though is that documentation is most always in C++. So you have to translate that in your head from C++ to Python which is hard for inexperienced an non-C++ programmers to do. I know you mentioned learning C++ is something you had difficulty with. That is unfortunate because in my experience 90% of the game documentation, especially quality game programming documentation, is written using C++ which is the industry standard. Since I learned C++ in colege I have been very fortunate that I can take what I read and convert it to Visual Basic, Python, C-Sharp, or whatever I like.
