I have created a Google Group for discussion of the pygame Arcade idea. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pygame-arcade I think we should consider it a separate project from pygame.

It's better than Pygame Launcher. Maybe PyArcade, but that might be taking the Py- convention too far. I have a question though. Will this be open to any games written in Python or only those that use Pygame? > 3. Should we start from scratch or start with something that somebody else > has created?

Maybe present it on this mailing list so we can get input from everyone else. Here's one goal of mine: * Track data made by games, such as save files, so that it may be removed (like when the game is uninstalled).
