The Summer Solstice 2019 release has finally come! πŸŽ‰ 🎊

Note that because of incompatibilities, PyGame 1 and Python 3.6 & 3.7 are the only supported versions. Neither Python 3.8 nor PyGame 2 are supported in this release. (This will hopefully be fixed for our Fall Equinox 2019 release, but its largely out of our hands.)

New since 0.5.1

  • Online docs! https://ppb.readthedocs.io/ (#195)
  • Sprites can rotate (#214)
  • An Idle event has been added, fired each iteration through the event loop (#221)
  • An animation feature has been added (#230) and an example (#235)
  • A title argument has been added to ppb.run() (#258)
  • ppb.make_engine() has been added to simplify customization (#255)
  • GameEngine.loop_once() has been added to allow for external loops (#255)
  • The sprite sides API now implements full numerical methods (#272)

  • The Y axis has been flipped so that +Y is up (#237, #275)
  • ppb.Vector has changed significantly; see the ppb-vector changes (#204, #280)
  • The deprecated scene change API (Scene.running, Scene.next) has been removed (#259)
  • System.activate() has been removed (#221)
  • GameEngine.register() now accepts callables instead of simple values (#228)
  • ppb.abc has been completely removed (#284)

Fixes since 0.5.1

  • ppb.utils.LoggingMixin now works with subclasses (based on the file the calling code is in) (#202)
  • StartScene no longer requires an empty kwargs when passed a scene class (#236)
  • GameObjectCollection (and its subclass Scene) work correctly with subclasses of children (#241)
  • Simplified the rendering event flow (#256)
