If you want to host a web-based multi user game online, I would highly
recommend Google App Engine. It lets you develop totally in Python/
Django, and their free hosting tier gives you quite a bit of capacity.
GAE does not have any specific value-add for game dev, but it is
extremely productive and easy to get going with.
As for the game logic, I don't know of any frameworks or libraries in
Python, but typically such things are fairly custom for each game
anyhow.

Hi,
I'd like to have suggestions as to whether pygame is right for my
application.
I'm writing a simulator for a table top wargame. The logical side is
easy; roll dice, compare against value, look up in table etc.
I have to make a 2D environment simulating the table top in which
units (battalions/squadrons) are placed.
I need to calculate things like enemy units in front of a unit (for
firing and threats), supporting units in flank (side) or rear. So, a
lot of 2D calculations.
Can pygame help me with my 2D calculations and world representation or
is that outside the scope of pygame?
A visual interface is pretty much essential. Can pygame work through a
web browser? i.e. use the browser as an output device? I might
eventually want to turn my application into a server based multi user
game working through browsers.
Cheers
Neil
