I've restarted work on my Python wrappers around the MGL (megagraphics
game library, from scitech software -- www.scitechsoft.com), which
provides a fast graphics library with all kinds of nice features. I've
wrapped version 4.05 and only tested it on Windows NT, but version 4.5
(reportedly out soon) will work on a variety of platforms.
I use the library for psychophysics (if you don't know what that is, you
don't care =), but I expect that it would be of interest as well to folks
who want to write games in Python -- MGL's fullscreen support is very
complete, it interfaces to OpenGL as well as has a 2-d graphics library,
sprite and event manager, etc.
My current needs are met by the stuff I've got working, but I have no
doubt that the wrapping is incomplete and imperfect. If you'd be
interested in helping flesh it out (and test it with 4.5 when that comes
out, and/or on e.g. Linux, etc.) and know or are willing to learn SWIG,
let me know and I'll setup a CVS site so that concurrent development can
proceed.
