PyGame Simplified — A beginner-friendly wrapper around Pygame

PyGame-S — PyGame Simplified

PyGame-S is a beginner-friendly wrapper around Pygame that simplifies game development without limiting what you can build. Write less boilerplate, focus more on your game.

---

Installation

Place the pygames folder inside your project or install it into your Python environment's site-packages.

Then import based on the complexity level you need:

from pygames.medium import *    # Physics only
from pygames.advanced import *  # Physics + Player

---

Complexity Tiers

Import	What you get
medium	Core engine + physics (no player input)
advanced	Core engine + physics + controllable player

---

Quick Start

from pygames.advanced import *

game = pygames(800, 600, "My Game")

player = Player(game, 100, 300)
ground = SSprites(game, 0, 550, source=Surface((800, 50)))
ground.image.fill("green")

game.start(player)
game.make_solid(ground)

def logic():
    game.background("skyblue")
    player.tick()

game.mainloop(logic)

---

Core — pygames

game = pygames(w=800, h=600, title="My Game", icon_path=None)

Method	Description
game.background(color)	Fill the screen with a color each frame
game.start(*objects)	Register objects to be drawn and updated
game.make_solid(*objects)	Mark objects as collidable
game.key(name)	Check if a key is pressed — e.g. "left", "space", "w"
game.start_score_counter()	Display score on screen
game.score	Set or update the score value
game.start_garbage_collecter()	Auto-remove off-screen objects
game.load_image(name, path)	Load an image by name
game.image(name, x, y, w, h)	Draw a loaded image
game.load_sound(name, path)	Load a sound by name
game.play_sound(name)	Play a loaded sound
game.mainloop(logic)	Start the game loop
game.zoom(factor)	Resize the window by a multiplier

---

Base Sprite — SSprites

obj = SSprites(game, x, y, image_path=None, source=None)

The base class for all game objects. Accepts an image path, a raw Surface, or defaults to a white square.

Method	Description
obj.draw()	Draws the object to the screen
obj.move(dx, dy)	Moves the object by an offset

---

Physics — PhysicSprite (medium)

obj = PhysicSprite(game, x, y, width=50, height=50, color="red")

Extends SSprites with gravity, collision, and velocity.

Attribute	Description
obj.vel_x	Horizontal velocity
obj.vel_y	Vertical velocity
obj.gravity	Gravity strength (default 0.8)
obj.max_fall_speed	Max fall speed to prevent tunneling (default 20)
obj.on_ground	True if standing on a solid

Method	Description
obj.apply_physics(solids)	Apply gravity and collision — called automatically
obj.jump(force=15)	Jump if on the ground

---

Player — Player (advanced)

player = Player(game, x, y, width=40, height=60, color="blue", speed=5,
                left="left", right="right", jump="space")

Extends PhysicSprite with keyboard input. Key bindings are fully customizable.

Method	Description
player.tick()	Process input — call this in your game logic function
player.handle_input()	Handles left, right, and jump keys

---

Supported Keys

Pass any of these strings to game.key() or as custom key bindings:

"left", "right", "up", "down", "space", "esc", "enter", "shift", "ctrl", "tab", "backspace", or any letter/number like "a", "w", "1"

---

Native Pygame

Since PyGame-S uses from pygame import * internally, all Pygame features are available directly:

from pygames.advanced import *

mixer.music.load("background.mp3")
mixer.music.play(-1)

draw.rect(game.screen, "red", (100, 100, 50, 50))

For more advanced usage, you can also import Pygame directly:

import pygame as pg
pg.mixer.music.set_volume(0.5)

---

Error Handling

PyGame-S raises clear errors to help you debug:

Error	Cause
NameError	Invalid file path or missing sound/image
TypeError	Wrong type passed to width, height, speed, or jump force
ValueError	Negative speed value

---

Version

Current release: v1.6.8

Inspired by Pygame Zero, built to be more Pythonic, flexible, and extensible.
