Honestly, I'm not sure how valuable a new resource here would be--surely, there are educational sites for teaching, and same but specific for Python? What makes sense to me would be a section specifically on using pygame. We already have something of this sort (I know; I've been looking-at/sprucing-up the current tutorials), but these are largely dated, and don't span the whole of what pygame has to offer. They're also text-dense, which is apparently not a popular way to learn things anymore. > Anything else I should link to? > What would have been most helpful for me when I learned pygame would have been some solid foundation to build on. I offer my pygame hello world <https://geometrian.com/programming/tutorials/PyGame%20Program%20Shell.py.txt> and pygame-GL-2 hello world <https://geometrian.com/programming/tutorials/OpenGL%20Program%20Shell.py.txt> as minimal, best-practices, public-domain resources (links have been stable for years, but mirroring would be ideal).
