PyGame

PyGame is a powerful library for Python that enables developers to create engaging 2D games. It provides a comprehensive set of modules designed for handling graphics, sound, and user input, making game development more accessible. With PyGame, you can easily set up a game window, manage game loops, and implement features like collision detection and animations. The library is not included in the standard Python distribution, so it must be installed separately. PyGame also comes with extensive tutorials and examples, allowing both beginners and experienced programmers to enhance their skills in game development.
