pygodide

Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

BETA: everything is subject to change

pygodide turns Pygame projects into browser apps using Pyodide with one command, no edits to your source code, and acheiving 2.4x more fps than pygbag.

Pronounced "pie-go-died"

If anything doesn't work out-of-the-box, pygodide offers tons of configuration options to adapt to your needs.

Documentation: https://elan456.github.io/pygodide/

Build

# Produces the web-hostable build/ directory

Examples and Live Demos

Sample projects live under test_targets/ and a few of them are uploaded to itch.io.

Numpy particles demo: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-test-project
Audio demo: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-audio-demo
Arcade performance benchmark: https://elan456.itch.io/pygodide-performance-benchmark

Try one locally:

pygodide build test_targets/ball_bouncing
pygodide serve test_targets/ball_bouncing

Before every release, each target under test_targets/ is automatically verified using a headless browser to catch regressions. All features shown in the test targets are maintained as first-class features.

Contributing

git clone https://github.com/Elan456/pygodide.git
cd pygodide
uv sync --dev
uv run playwright install chromium
uv run pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type pre-push

The dev group includes pygodide[smoke], so Playwright is installed with uv sync --dev. You still need playwright install chromium once for browser binaries.

Run the same checks as CI:

uv run ruff format --check .
uv run ruff check .
uv run pytest

Smoke tests (from this repo)

uv run playwright install chromium   # once
uv run pygodide smoke /path/to/your/pygame/project
uv run pygodide smoke test_targets --suite

Be sure to read the AGENTS.md it's written for both human contributors as well as AI tools.
