I have this crazy idea of making a "pygame community platform" to make distributing/finding/testing/installing pygames simpler.
For end users, it would be a program to install, maybe called something like "PygamePlatform". It would provide a graphical user interface, for the ubuntu platform to begin with, since that is what I'm using. It would feature search/install/uninstall/run interaction. Installing would mean downloading .py+bin files and placing them in a PygamePlatform local "games pool". Thus uninstalling is as easy as installing. GUI: Much like Ubuntus add programs, combined with the start menu. The database of pygames would reside on some wiki-like web page, so pygame-developers could easily add their creations without any updates to the PygamePlatform-installations out there. Of course this is a great deal of work, but provided it does PygamePlatform could be ported to Windows, Mac etc. without any changes to the wiki-database or the games themselves. Feedback? Is there earlier projects that has tried (and failed) doing this kind of thing? -- twitter.com/olofb olofb.wordpress.com
