pygame is a free cross platform library for developing computer games in Python programming language. It is based on SDL, which can be used on all platforms. pygame is released under the LGPL. History
The development of pygame began in October 2000 by Pete Shinners with the aim of making SDL's functionality accessible via Python. One of the reasons for this was the utilization of Python's possibilities: in PySDL, a similar project, Shinners felt too much as C-code (where SDL was written).
The first version, 0.1a, was released on October 28, 2000. Version 1.0 followed April 5, 2001. Games based on pygame
