I have heard of earwax but I haven't really looked at it.

Thanks. I heard of Lucia, and could not find any documentation for it.

Hi,
There are a few different audio game engines for Python, these include
Earwax <https://earwax.readthedocs.io/> (beta), Lucia
<https://github.com/luciasoftware/lucia> (which is supposed to be more
familiar to those coming from BGT, Framework
<https://forum.audiogames.net/topic/38239/framework-my-new-set-of-tools-for-audiogame-creation-in-python3/> (for
want of a better name), and pyAGE
<https://forum.audiogames.net/topic/38941/pyage-yet-another-python-audio-game-engine/> (which
is still very much in its early stages).
If you'd rather go the mainstream route, and don't mind a little more
work, there's Godot Accessibility
<https://forum.audiogames.net/topic/33909/migrated-godot-accessibility-to-github/>.
Finally, for some subjective comparisons, see this thread
<https://forum.audiogames.net/topic/38995/python-and-audiogame/> on
the audiogames.net <http://audiogames.net> forum.
There are others, namely MonoGame <https://www.monogame.net/>, and
probably some other stuff in C# too.
Other than that, please just do everyone a favour (mainly yourself),
and don't use BGT. It's like deciding to dig yourself a swimming pool,
using a plastic bucket and spade for digging, wattle and dorb for
lining, and stiff prayer for water purification.
HTH,
Take care,
Chris Norman

Hello, everyone I have just joined the group, and I hope the
distinguished
gamers and writers in this gaming community understand that I am
very much a
beginner, trying to write perhaps a couple of simple dice or card
games. I
wrote a dice game script in BGT, and the script doesn't generate any
compilation errors. However, the game window stays open only for a
couple of
seconds, and then disappears, so none of the program's keystrokes
can be
executed. I realize that BGT is no longer supported, but it does
work under
Windows 10, and it is the only engine where I know how to implement
keystrokes and add and manipulate sounds. I checked basic
tutorials for a
few programming languages, and realized that game logic can be
programmed in
any of the languages but none of these tutorials addresses
keystroke-driven
implementation, or addition of sound. And even in the BGT
tutorial, I have
not found answers to some of my questions. The game I am currently
trying to
write is a dice roller, but if one tries to create, for example, a
card
game, how do you make a card playable? If cards exist as strings,
or parts
of an array, or even instances of their own class, they are just
abstract
logical structures. But cards need to be manipulated - picked up,
discarded,
etc. If I have a hand with 5 cards, how do I program a way to
navigate the
list of cards and then perform an action on a card currently in
focus? How
to make it an element of interface so it can be selected? I hope I
clearly
expressed my questions, and I am grateful in advance for any
clarifications.
