Is there a way to create iOS games with pysdl2 ? Would Cython be a path?

But that would take at least a whole month of full time hacking to complete. Someone could probably hack together a prototype in a week which would run many current pygame games though (PyWeek project?!?). I'm currently aiming to take a month or two off around September to complete this and the new website. cu. On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 10:47 AM, Andrew Barlow <andrew.bar...@gmail.com> wrote: Awesome!
