pygame-ce getting started and timing tutorial #183
Conversation
Small update to configuration section to note that `<py-config>` applies only to py/mpy type scripts. Major additions to `pygame-ce.md` on how to get started by explaining the changes needed from "stock" pygame-ce code to run in pyscript, and specifically ways to allow the same code to run cross-platform (locally and in pyscript online).

This is lovely, thank you a lot!!! I think everything you wrote is sound and useful but I'd like to wait for @ntoll eyes because he's the native English speaker so he might spot some gotcha I didn't but, for the time being, you have my approval, I wish we had more contributions like this one 💖 |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
waiting for @ntoll to double check but I think this should go in as it provides tons of tiny details we didn't formalize before.

Thanks for the approval and kind words. After a re-read today I did fix a grammar issue and removed a reference to "earlier code using dt" which existed while I was drafting the doc but removed in the end (but forgot to remove the later reference to it). |
* `configuration.md` fix grammar ("For these set the config attribute
method" -> "For these use the config attribute method")
* `pygame-ce.md` Removed "Our usage of `clock.tick()` and `dt` in the
earlier code" which referenced removed code that existed earlier.

Hi @ntoll and @WebReflection let me know if there is anything else I can help with to get this ready for merge. |
|
Thank you! |
|
Wow @ntoll that's awesome it's even already deployed and online. |

Thank YOU for the contribution. 👍 |
Small update to configuration section to note that
<py-config>applies only to py/mpy type scripts.Major additions to
pygame-ce.mdon how to get started by explaining the changes needed from "stock" pygame-ce code to run in pyscript, and specifically ways to allow the same code to run cross-platform (locally and in pyscript online).Example code listed in documentation is live at https://gillius.pyscriptapps.com/pyscript-pygame-ce-quickstart/latest/. If it's appropriate and desired, I can provide each variation for your upload https://docs.pyscript.net/2025.5.1/examples/.
I have written all documentation myself and contribute it under Apache 2.0 license as per https://docs.pyscript.net/2025.5.1/contributing/. The source code for the example is pulled from https://pyga.me/docs/tutorials/en/intro-to-pygame.html (source) with modifications to run under pyscript made by myself. The original code is documented as authored by Pete Shinners ([email protected]). The pygame-ce docs folder readme doesn't list a license but there is a file
LGPL.txtwhich implies it may be covered by LGPL.As an example of 18 straightforward lines of code I would assume usage would be fair use, but if you want me to build a novel example I can. I used this one due to its small size and to show directly how we can modify pygame getting started documentation to work on pyscript.
