Thanks Luke & Al, I forgot to mention that I've prepared pygame at present for Python 3; it wouldn't be hard to adapt that for Python 2, but I focused on Al's collection of games, which already work with Python 3. I prepared a package of 'Flippy', Al's clone of the classic board game Reversi. Here's the pull request:
https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/478 You can see a few files involved: - launch.py : Wrapper to launch the game - com.inventwithpython.flippy.desktop : information for desktop menus/launchers - Icons in three different sizes - com.inventwithpython.flippy.appdata.xml : information for software catalogues - com.inventwithpython.flippy.json : tells Flatpak how to assemble the other files into an installable package Best wishes, Thomas On 4 July 2018 at 21:51, Al Sweigart <a...@inventwithpython.com> wrote: > I'll offer all the programs in the book Making Games with Python & Pygame: > http://inventwithpython.com/pygame/ > > The files can be downloaded from http://inventwithpython. > com/makinggames.zip Email me if you have any questions. > > On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 11:37 AM, Luke Paireepinart <rabidpoob...@gmail.com > > wrote: > >> You're more than welcome to package up our game, solarflair, which was >> part of pyweek 23, I believe.
