I used to use PyGame but the horrible delay waiting for OS X binaries put me off. I now use Pyglet extensively, and combine Pyglet + Rabbyt to get amazing sprite handling speeds. Pyglet/Rabbyt make use of OpenGL which comes installed on all the major systems out there. PyGame requires the

I use the Pyglet library to make games. You want to look at the pyglet and pygame mailing lists, not this one. Use Google. In my opinion, PyGame is clunky and Pyglet is elegant, simple, and comprehensive. PyGame has more examples available, but Pyglet has great documentation and enough

PyOhio sounds fun... I've been wanting to get some sort of Barcamp or GameJam running where I live (in Austin, so you'd think there would be people interested) but no-one will bite. :/ Escort Wing was a fun project... I did a few mods for EW1. Will you release this demo anywhere? Just curious.
