A Python framework for rapid game development.

Myrmidon - Python 2D game framework

Myrmidon is a framework for Python that aims to provide rapid development of 2D games.

Using a simple and easy to use API, Myrmidon allows developers to create interactive games and was designed to be perfectly suited for prototypes, proof-of-concepts and game jams.

Myrmidon's bottom-line is that the developer should only be concerned about behaviour of game objects and how the user interacts with them. Any low-level graphics, window or input handling should be the sole responsibility of Myrmidon. Hiding that as much as possible and allowing you to get on writing your game.

Installation

Requirements: PyGame 1.9.x, PyOpenGL 3.x, Numpy

Both Python 2.6> and 3.x are supported

Currently the best way to install Myrmidon is to clone from this git repository and run the setup command. (As root if on Linux)

cd myrmidon
python setup.py install

import sys
from myrmidon import Entity, Game
from myrmidon.consts import *

class Screen(Entity):
    def execute(self):
        while True:
            if Game.keyboard_key_down(K_ESCAPE):
                sys.exit()
            yield
