PackageList

list of packages included in python-game-kit

This is a list of suggested packages to aim for.

I'm not sure whether we should host our own eggs for these packages or point to the official eggs, if they exist.

The Package List

Package	Linux	Mac	Win32	Tested?	Desc
GFX	x	x	x	N	Minimum functions needed for 2D OpenGL
mainloop	x	x	x	N	A game loop construct for pygame.
Pygnet	x	x	x	N	Very basic networking using Twisted
Rect	x	x	x	N	General rectangle ops, spatial indexes and rect packer

How much overlap is there between gameobjects and pyeuclid? I believe gameobjects implements most of the pyeuclid basics, perhaps missing out on some of the intersection math.

Yes, from what I've seen you are correct. Probably not worth maintaining until it grows a few more features. What do you think?

I'll ask Alex what he thinks. Obviously the two modules occupy different spaces. Gameobjects is a bundle, whereas pyeuclid has a specific, limited scope (much like your own Rect release).

Hmm, what if there was a "game." namespace in the cheeseshop which had game.rect, game.euclid, game.mainloop ... and so on ... and then gameobjects would be a meta-package that combined all of the above...

I've removed non-official eggs until I get time to hunt down and link to official eggs.
