2D Game Engines for Python

Interesting list of 2D Game Engines for Pythons. Why should anyone be interested? Because at this moment, Python is the language of choice for Google App Engine.  So if there’s a way to make these engines work for Google App Engine, then …

Here’s the list:

I was searching for infos on how to do 2D game stuff with python and decided to blog about what i found so far. Maybe it’s useful for others Be aware that this is no indeep review of any of the engines. It’s rather my view after looking into the docs and some examples of some engines.

What exactly was i looking for?

I’d like to write some simple 2D solo RPG to test out some ideas i have in mind. My language of choice is of course python and it must run at least on windows, better with mac and linux support too. Nice community, enough docs and a map engine would be nice additions, but are not mandatory.

What i found so far:

• PyGame Python binding for sdl and more
• Pycap The PopCap Game Framework for Python
• SpriteCraft Small game engine with python bindings
• ika RPG game engine with python scripting

Next post, more game engines for Python!
