ludos 0.2.0

Pygame abstraction framework for rapid game development

Ludos

Pygame-ce abstraction framework that eliminates boilerplate for rapid game development. Clean separation between input, state, and rendering with extensibility at every layer.

Install

pip install ludos

Quick Start

from dataclasses import dataclass
import pygame
from ludos import (
    BaseGameState, BaseScene, EngineConfig, GameEngine,
    KeyBindings, SceneManager, StateManager,
)

@dataclass
class MyState(BaseGameState):
    score: int = 0

class PlayScene(BaseScene):
    def handle_input(self, events, state_manager):
        pass

    def update(self, dt, state_manager):
        pass

    def render(self, surface, state_manager):
        surface.fill((0, 0, 0))

config = EngineConfig(title="My Game", width=800, height=600)
state_manager = StateManager(MyState())
scene_manager = SceneManager()
scene_manager.push(PlayScene())

engine = GameEngine(config)
engine.run(scene_manager, state_manager)

Features

• State management — Subclass BaseGameState as a dataclass, mutate through StateManager.update()
• Scene stack — Push/pop/replace scenes with on_enter/on_exit lifecycle hooks
• Input mapping — Map raw pygame keys to semantic actions via KeyBindings
• Display wrapper — Window handles pygame display init and surface management
• Built-in menu — MenuScene with configurable MenuConfig for quick prototyping
• Error hierarchy — All errors inherit LudosError for unified catching
