pygkit

General-purpose Pygame CE runtime kit: UI widgets, audio management, timers, interpolation, and utilities.

Quick Start

import pygkit

Features

• UI: Box-model widgets with plugin compositing — progress bars, cooldown overlays, containers, dialog system, buttons, menubar container, anchor/row/grid placement helpers
• Animation: Multi-state AnimationPlayer where every state owns its own spritesheet — mixed image sizes and grids (e.g. idle_spritesheet.png vs run_spritesheet.png) in one player; pure image API, no JSON
• Dialog: Typewriter effect with customizable speeds, speaker names, and progress indicators
• Inventory: Grid-based item management with stacking, weight tracking, events, and serialization
• Audio: SoundManager with channel pools, kind/key addressing, volume buses, fades
• Lighting: low-resolution light map pipeline (LightMap), point lights with flicker, wind-reactive DynamicLight flames, and cone Spotlight — full RGB/RGBA blend modes, allocation-free per frame
• Transitions: Screen transitions with fade, wipe, and custom effects
• Utils: Timer, interpolation/easing functions

Installation

pip install pygkit            # core: signals, utils, protocols
pip install "pygkit[ui]"      # widgets, dialog, cooldowns
pip install "pygkit[all]"     # everything

Available extras: ui, audio, animation, lighting, transitions, inventory, parallax, all. import pygkit alone loads core only; subsystems load lazily on first use.

Extra: lightning idea was extended version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN7u20H7zK4 which was my first attempt of making lightning after learning blend modes.
