You might want to look at PyGame. http://pygame.org/
Newbies can go far using PyGame but the maths can be a bit complex no matter what language or package you use. For an alternative try Blender 3d. http://blender.org Blender is a 3d suite that can do it all and then some , it's free ,and it uses Python for it's scripting. You can create a game and never touch a piece of code if you use the builtin actuators and sensors, or you can script with Python. hth, M.E.Farmer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
