Isometric Games in Python


A couple of months ago, I started investigating free libraries for developing isometric games in Python.

I found the pygame-based project Pyplace but there hadn't been a release since 2001.

So I decided to start my own, which I've called pyso.

As a starting point, in particular because I have no experience with either pygame or writing isometric games, I've just cleaned up Pyplace (which was, how shall I say this politely, quite idiosyncratic in parts).

You can get my initial effort at:

It currently is really just the last Pyplace release taken apart, cleaned up a little and put back together again.

The next release will likely be quite different and more my own work.

The original post was in the categories: python announcements pyso but I'm still in the process of migrating categories over.

The original post had 12 comments I'm in the process of migrating over.
