Python 2D game engine

Boczek

Boczek (IPA: [ˈbɔʧ̑ɛk], AS: [boček]) is a drop-in replacement fot Bacon - a Python package for making 2D games that run on Windows and OS X. It provides functions for drawing graphics, playing sounds, and receiving input from the mouse, keyboard and game controllers.

Here is a simple example of a complete Boczek game::

import bacon

kitten = bacon.Image('res/kitten.png')

bacon.window.width = 512
bacon.window.height = 512

class Game(bacon.Game):
    def on_tick(self):
        bacon.clear(0, 0, 0, 1)
        bacon.draw_image(kitten, 0, 0)
        
bacon.run(Game())

See the documentation for more examples.
