Pygame or Pyglet - luke83 - Nov-17-2020 Hello all, Looking for some advice, looking to learn to code for Work reasons ( being forced into it), have tried many times over the years and always get distracted, so in an effort to stay motivated figure i would pick a game as a goal so I'm at least working towards something i want to do that should help strengthen my work skills. My question is, which game engine is superior to the other? Im happy to stick to 2d engine ( which as a 3d Draftsman at work, i should do 3D but what can i say, i like sprites) but i just don't want to back the wrong horse, get so far and have to restart... I know, the reality is I will up with a few shapes moving around on the screen shooting circles at each other by the time i lose interest but let's pretend i will stay with it this time and build my dream.... Which engine should i go with and why? RE: Pygame or Pyglet - Larz60+ - Nov-17-2020 There is an excellent game tutorial on this forum written by metulburr. I'd start there. Tutorial list:

RE: Pygame or Pyglet - michael1789 - Nov-17-2020 My 2 cents would be that pygame is the better choice simply because it seems most popular and the internet is awash with examples, stackoverflow questions/answers, and videos. A forum user here has a youtube channel Coding with Russ, I like his videos and they are a perfect place to start. RE: Pygame or Pyglet - metulburr - Nov-18-2020 Pygame is more active. It has a lot more user base and thus more floating around the internet in terms of tutorials, examples, existing boilerplate code, etc. That is the reason i chose pygame over pyglet....because when i asked a question on both forums.....i got a response more often from the pygame users, rather than pyglet users. Sometimes i got numerous responses from pygame users, and never got anything from pyglet forums. You lose interest in something pretty quickly when you hit a snag, and no one is there to help. Pygame reddit is the most active dedicated to pygame that is forum similar, and not a mailing list. And now that pygame can use SDL2, it s only going to get more popular. This is a little outdated but should give enough for some comparisons between the two libraries. They are both gaming libraries. ITs kind of like saying to the GUI folks of python, should i make it in WxPython or PyQt5? Both do the same final result, but in their own way. There will be folks on both sides that say theirs is better. RE: Pygame or Pyglet - luke83 - Nov-20-2020 Thanks guys, so i am heading down the path of Pygame, working through one of Russ_Cw tutorials now to expose me to what is required whilst i am also working through TeamTreehouse Python course... with working fulltime and raising some kids, will be a slow process but hey, why not recreate some old time game that i loved :) |
