sappho 0.4.2

2D game engine (pygame)

Sappho is a 2D game engine written with Python and pygame.

The purpose of this repo is to rewrite Hypatia Engine and eventually replace Hypatia Engine as “Sappho.”

Sorry I haven’t had time to clean anything yet.

You can run tests with py.test -v in the directory root.

Design Philosophy

1. Don’t interfere with the way people build their pygame games

2. We are not automating game logic

3. Sappho modules may not import other Sappho modules

4. Inherit from pygame objects when possible; use conventional pygame models/architecture.

5. Consistency.

6. Simplicity trumps all else.

7. Well documented.

8. Code is easy-to-test. We show that with our 100% test coverage.
