      I finally made something that works! :)

      GamePie allows you to create games which can be ran on many platforms. The project was created to allow creation of cross-platform games - those that can run on both iOS devices and PCs. It's licensed under zlib license.

      Git repository is here: https://github.com/Vik2015/gamepie. For PC you need gamepie-pc/ and for iOS - gamepie-ios/. Just put it in the site-packages folder and rename to gamepie.

      Check examples/ folder to see some examples. Currently it contains planes.py which is a shooting game where you control the player and your goal is to shoot down as many enemy planes as possible. Player can be controlled via keyboard on PC (left/a and right/d keys, space shoots, escape quits) and mouse/touches on PC and iOS. Nothing fancy :)

      If you have any ideas about what can I add to it please post them here.

        I havent played around with this yet, but I took a look at the example and I think that it looky tidy. Seems like a nice interface to use for graphics :) Especially that it can be used on PC :)

          @Moe, thanks, cross-platform support was the intention :). Btw, the library also automatically converts Pythonista coordinates ([0, 0] is bottom-left) to PyGame coordinates ([0, 0] is upper-left).

              Gonna advertise GamePie some more :)

              Here is a video of a game I am working on (PieRPG): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3cKMUwPd_g.
              It uses GamePie as game engine and runs fine on Linux and iOS.

              P. S. Incase anybody wants to take a look at the code it is here: https://github.com/Vik2015/pierpg. Please note that PieRPG is using a dev version of GamePie (0.2) which is not available yet.

                I tried to run the example program, planes.py, and it threw a “no module named gamepie” error. Why is this?

                  Place the gamepie-ios folder in site-packages, (except rename as gamepie). You can import files in the same folder as your main script, or else in site-packages, or a path you explicitly add to sys.path

                    @D4NY44L, did you first put the gamepie-ios in your site-packages and rename it to gamepie, as explained in the original post?
