I haven't done much with pygame.info. There didn't seem like a lot of people that wanted to contribute to it, and I didn't want it to be a one-person deal. I already have programarcadegames.com for that stuff.
I've been working hard at a pygame-like library that would be good for people wanting to teach. There are a few things with pygame I don't like. Some of the function names. Some of the "here you use an object, but here you use a function" stuff going on. So pygame.info probably won't go far, and I'll work on the other library instead: http://pythonhosted.org/arcade/ Paul Vincent Craven On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 6:53 PM, Sean Felipe Wolfe <ether....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey I've been poking around with Pygame lately in a classroom setting. > Unfortunately the site is really starting to show its age.
