SDL-1.2 VS Pygame

But that made me look up the (much) older version, SDL 1.2 which appears to use a 2D framebuffer and mentions several BSDs. So maybe OP would find it useful, either to use or just to read the source code for seeing how BSD framebuffer usage works (worked?). https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL-1.2

SDL - The older 1.2 version. However this has portability benefits to older platforms (old Linux, Amiga, etc). It is also simpler than SDL2 and as such can be easily "mapped" on-top of other APIs. For example Emscripten provides it inbuilt, mapped over the DOM / Canvas stuff.

SDL has a github, and there's a separate repository for 1.2 with HTML documentation in it: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL-1.2/tree/main/docs

pygame never used it, but its popular python library, heard good things about it. i suggest if you are not trying to make resource intensive game, and you want to learn python which is a really valuable skill.

Pygame is a framework of python modules and libraries for writing games. It is modular and great for learning the basics of the Python programming language.

There two parts to sprite class. One is in cython and the there one in python. Would have to go through code to see which one their still using. Every test I have run. Sprite and Group will handle more images. With out frame rate dropping below 60.

To code a game, at first you should be familiar with some basic CS concepts and DSA. All of the languages above have modules and frameworks for games. I would suggest considering to start learning Python with DSA and then pygame (A Python library for creating games).

Pygame uses SDL_ttf under the hood to work with fonts. If you’re just wanting to load your own font you can just use pygame.font.Font() and point it to a ttf file. If you’re wanting to mess with the font object or do something else with the raw font data, you might want to check out https://github.com/pygame/pygame/blob/main/src_c/font.c and https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/SDL_ttf.c to get an idea of what pygame and SDL are doing under the surface.
