A game engine written in Python

Photon

Photon is a game engine written in Python just for fun.

Installation

Requirements

1. Python >=3.10
   The engine is based on Python 3.10, so it is preferred that you use Python 3.10 or upgrade to a version supported by PyImGUI.

2. Virtual Environment (venv)
   Install using:

   pip install venv
   

There are two ways to run the editor. If you just want to use the engine to make games or test its performance, you can download the precompiled binaries. If you want to develop the engine and see how it works, you can download the source code from GitHub.
