pyda

A custom, high-performance 2D game engine built with C (SDL2 backend) and Python. Zero Pygame dependency—pure raw speed and modular flexibility.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.8
• SDL2 development libraries (headers + lib)
  • Linux/Debian/Ubuntu/Termux: libsdl2-dev
  • macOS (Homebrew): brew install sdl2
  • Windows: install SDL2 and set include/lib paths or use vcpkg

Installation (Editable Mode)

pip install --editable .

Or from source:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace
pip install .

Quick usage

import pyda

pyda.init()
# ... use pyda._core, pyda.gameplay, pyda.physics_engine, etc.
pyda.quit()

Core entry points live in pyda._core (re-exported from the top-level package). Other modules are available as:

• pyda._draw, pyda._font, pyda._image, pyda._mixer, pyda._mouse, pyda._key
• pyda._rect, pyda._sprite, pyda._time, pyda._transform
• pyda.gameplay, pyda.physics_engine, pyda.geometry_engine, pyda.collision_engine, pyda.game_utils
• Helpers: pyda._math, pyda._text, pyda._bytes, pyda._datastruct

Build notes

The C extensions must match the PyInit_* / module names defined in the .c sources. SDL2-dependent modules are linked with -lSDL2.
