Wame Game Engine

Wame

Simple, Pythonic, Pygame Wrapper

• Latest Version v0.6.0
• Supports Python 3.7+

What is Wame?

Wame was created as a backend Pygame wrapper, where all backend (and tedious) code is left in the background. This allows for events to be dispatched in specific event methods rather than in a messy manner like default Pygame and most other engine program loops. This is primarily because handling the game backend and frontend in a singular file (or a couple) can be an eyesore, and Wame fixes this issue.

What are Wame's features?

• Encapsulates Pygame's backend game programming
• Dispatches and calls methods needed to render and update game code, while executing events in a structured manner
• Allows on-demand scene switching (more about this later)
• Provides basic objects like font rendering (text), drawing, buttons, etc. (a pain to always make on many projects)

How do I use Wame?

• Install Wame via PyPI: pip install wame-engine
• Import it into your program using import wame

Documentation

You can find our documentation here

Getting Started

After installation:

• Instantiate a new Engine (runs the game loop and dispatches events)
• Define a new ~Scene subclass (manages your objects and logic)

import wame

class BasicScene(wame.Scene):
    def __init__(self, engine: wame.Engine) -> None:
        super().__init__(engine)
    
    def on_render(self) -> None:
        ...
    
    def on_update(self) -> None:
        ...

engine: wame.Engine = wame.Engine("Basic Game Window", wame.Pipeline.PYGAME)
engine.register_scene("Basic", BasicScene)
engine.set_scene("Basic")

engine.start()

This will create a fullscreen, black window. You can close it by pressing ALT+F4.
