emeral 0.8.0

A library for making simple 2D games

Project Description

Emeral is a Python package for creating small games, developed based on Pygame, with the aim of changing the loop-refresh method to a multithreaded approach. The Emeral library is suitable for making 2D games and currently has four modules: display, events, image, and entity, with more modules planned for development. Emeral is currently in the beta version.

Before downloading the Emeral library, you must ensure that Python is already installed on your computer, and the Python version should be above 3.7. Version 3.7 is only the minimum requirement, and some advanced functions may not be available when using it. Once you have installed Python, you can use the following command to install the Emeral library from the command line.

pip install emeral

After installing the Emeral library, you can use the following command to ensure that the library was installed successfully.
