there are a lot of games on the site, but its hard to navigate them.. i like the categories, but the listing is too long (like this one http://pygame.org/projects/20/)
I would suggest adding columns to the layout of the listing . I think with images that sice, 3 col might work with the description under the pic. and maybe an alphabetical index. --- I'm pretty content with the way the documentation is... there are step-by-step examples and a good reference. (for class, instance, etc. explanations one should take a look at general python docs) On 10/21/07, RR4CLB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Phil, > > You should contact the people who do the tutorials or documentation > and have them give better examples.
