Having Develop XNA games as a hobby and deploy them to the Windows
Game network on your resume is much more appealing to an employer.
It really depends on what platform you want to develop for. If you
want cross-platform, use pygame
. If all you care about is windows/xbox, then use XNA.

I want to join you on this grand adventure! I have an example I used out of
a book... it has some ants, they roam around collecting leaves and bringing
them back to the nest, and they attack spiders if they come to close to the
nest. They don't really have brains though, just simple statemachine

All of the code is in the repositories (hg.thadeusb.com/Games)
PyBTS (pygame behind the scenes) is the game engine
MyRTS is a set of two proof of concepts that utilize PyBTS.
I do plan on continuing work when I find time to.

Are you limiting this to just a pygame type application?
How about a web application interface, using web2py ? That way you can
do anything fancy that you can do with html/css, and have it
accessible from any computer in the building.

Not at all, looks structured. Perhaps MegaBoom could inherit from Boom.
If you want, you can use the pygame input wrapper class I made, which will
help not having the massive if statement for handling input (also you can
handle input all over the program, not just right there)
Inheritance would be the more software engineering politically correct
scholastic way of doing this.
However, this is how you accomplish this the way you describe.
def hello():
print hello world
def hello_vars(*args):
print .join(a for a in args)
class A(object):
pass

You might be interested in using my InputWrapper for PyGame, though I doubt
it will solve your problem, since keyboards are evil :)
But it will help you write better organized code!

Basically, you need to include SDL's dlls in the same directory as the exe
file. For you, SDL.dll and SDL_mixer should be enough for now, but when you
use fonts you will need the others as well.
