Re: [pygame] Is PyGame dying?

Actually, despite the slightly lower activity recently, I've found this forum to be active and helpful and was quite surprised at the initial complaint in the thread. I think the pygame developers and community do a great job given that it's a completely volunteer effort. Thanks guys! --Mike

Re: [pygame] Is PyGame dying?

I think in this stressful economy people don't have time to write games in their downtime, what little they have :) pygame is a great library, I'm not sure what else they could work on except adding the new SDL features to pygame. The only other cool thing pygame could do was make a wrapper aroun

[pygame] Is PyGame dying?

Sorry for the attention-starving subject - but I think this is an important question to ask from time to time.. Judging by the low frequency of discussions on this list, I find at least one of the following statements trueish: 1) pygame is dying (no active development) 2) this list is the wrong f
