SpritePro
A high-level 2D game framework for Python (on top of pygame). Desktop, web and mobile from one codebase.
Installation
pip install spritepro
For mobile: pip install "spritepro[kivy]"
Project template: python -m spritePro.cli --create (minimal: --create --simple)
Updating
pip install --upgrade spritepro
Why SpritePro
| What you usually do | In SpritePro |
|---|---|
| Hand-written game loop | s.run(scene=...) — scene + auto-render |
| Your own camera | Camera API, follow, zoom, shake |
| UI from scratch | Button, ToggleButton, TextSprite, Slider, TextInput, Layout |
| Physics kept separate | pymunk integration, body types, collisions |
| Visual editor | Sprite Editor → JSON → spawn_scene(...) |
| Parsing saves by hand | PlayerPrefs → JSON |
| Multiplayer from scratch | TCP, lobby, ChatScene, sync |
| Mobile as a separate thing | platform="kivy" — same logic |
| Scrollable UI | ScrollView + ClipMask — clipping that already works |
SpritePro = pygame + physics, Layout, ScrollView, ClipMask, scene editor, multiplayer, UI.
Quick start
import spritePro as s
class MainScene(s.Scene):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.player = s.Sprite("", (50, 50), s.WH_C, speed=5, scene=self)
def update(self, dt):
self.player.handle_keyboard_input()
s.run(scene=MainScene, size=(800, 600), title="My Game")
That's it: window, scene, game loop, controls.
What's inside
- Sprite — the base class, with movement, effects and a parent-child hierarchy
- UI: Button, ToggleButton, Slider, TextInput, TextSprite, Layout (flex/grid/circle/line)
- ClipMask — a clipping mask for viewports, inventories, chats
- ScrollView — scrollable content with a wheel and drag-and-drop
- Physics: pymunk, DYNAMIC/STATIC/KINEMATIC bodies, collisions
- Animations: Tween, Fluent API (
DoMove,DoScale,SetEase...) - Particles: ParticleEmitter, presets, pools
- Multiplayer: TCP, lobby, ChatScene, sync
- Audio: sound and music
- Save/Load: PlayerPrefs as JSON
- Sprite Editor: build scenes visually → JSON
Sprite Editor
A visual scene editor with a hierarchy, an inspector and gizmos.
python -m spritePro.cli --editor
Build a scene → save it as JSON → load it in the game:
rt = spawn_scene("level.json", scene=self)
player = rt.exact("player").Sprite(speed=5)
Multiplayer chat
A ready-made chat scene with a clipping mask and scrolling:
from spritePro.readyScenes import ChatScene, ChatStyle
import spritePro as s
s.run(scene=ChatScene, multiplayer=True, multiplayer_use_lobby=True, title="Chat")
