MoonFrame

MoonFrame is a Python game development framework built on top of Pyglet. It provides a simple and intuitive API for creating 2D games, handling graphics, input, and more. Its kinda like a mix between Pygame and SDL2, but with a more modern and Python design. This README will give you a quick overview of how to get started with MoonFrame and what features it offers.

Example files

You can find example files in the examples directory of the MoonFrame repository. These examples demonstrate various features of the framework, such as rendering textures, handling input, and implementing game loops. Feel free to explore these examples to get a better understanding of how to use MoonFrame in your own projects.

• coolcat.py: A more advanced example that demonstrates a simple game with a cat texture that can be moved around the screen.

Installation

You can install MoonFrame using pip:

pip install moonframe

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example of how to create a window and render a texture with controls using MoonFrame:

import moonframe as mfr

class GameApp:
    def __init__(self, renderer, input_handler):
        self.renderer = renderer
        self.input = input_handler
        self.x, self.y = 100, 100
        
        self.cat = mfr.Texture(renderer, r"cat.avif", x=self.x, y=self.y)
        self.cat.resize(128, 128)

    def update(self):
        if self.input.is_key_pressed('right'): self.x += 5
        if self.input.is_key_pressed('down'): self.y -= 5
        if self.input.is_key_pressed('up'): self.y += 5
        if self.input.is_key_pressed('left'): self.x -= 5

        self.cat.set_pos(self.x, self.y)

    def draw(self):
        self.renderer.set_draw_color(20, 20, 30)
        self.renderer.clear()

win = mfr.Window("Suburban Cat", 800, 600)
renderer = mfr.Renderer(win)
event = mfr.Event()
input_handler = mfr.Input(win)
app = GameApp(renderer, input_handler)

running = True
while running:
    while win.poll_event(win, event):
        if event.type == event.QUIT:
            running = False
            break

    if not running:
        break
    
    app.update()
    app.draw()
    renderer.present()

win.handle.close()

Features

• Window Management: Create and manage game windows with ease.
• Rendering: Draw textures, shapes, and more with a simple API.
• Input Handling: Capture keyboard and mouse input for interactive games.
• Event System: Handle events like window resizing, quitting, and custom events.
• Collision Detection: Built-in support for detecting collisions between game objects.

Methods and Classes

• Window: Create and manage game windows.
• Renderer: Handle all rendering operations.
• Texture: Load and manipulate textures.
• Input: Capture and process user input.
• Drawable: Base class for drawable objects.
• Event: Handle various events in the game loop.
• Collision: Utility class for collision detection and response.
• Text: Class for displaying text on the screen
• Audio: Handles any music and sfx

Methods

• Window.poll_event(): Poll for events from the window.
• Renderer.set_draw_color(): Set the color for drawing operations.
• Renderer.clear(): Clear the rendering target.
• Texture.resize(): Resize a texture to specified dimensions.
• Texture.set_pos(): Set the position of a texture.
• Input.is_key_pressed(): Check if a specific key is currently pressed.
• Collision.is_colliding(): Check for collisions between two objects.
• And many more!
