pyxel VS Arcade

Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc.

Just make games with pyxel https://github.com/kitao/pyxel

There's also game engines which are fun to use in python, like pyxel.

A function to automatically generate an application launch URL has been added to Pyxel, a retro game engine for Python (https://github.com/kitao/pyxel please add your star to this repository!).

It's fine. You might also enjoy working with Pyxel, which is a little more pixellated and fun and not exactly "classically production ready" either. (I mean, games like Papers, Please could be programmed in Pygame, but that's about it).

If you like retro games, Pyxel seems nice.

I work on a Python game engine called Arcade[1] and other projects within it's Github organization such as pytiled-parser. We also help to drive continued development and improvement within Pyglet[2]. Recently, my efforts have been focused on creating a version which can be run in web browsers by using Pyodide and WebGL[3], though that is still fairly early stages.

Arcade's primary focus is on being an educational tool for beginner programmers, so my hope is that with browser compatibility we can lower the barrier to entry further and make it more accessible and easy to get started with. In a similar vein to the goals of browser compatibility, we've recently enabled full compatibility with Raspberry Pi through the use of OpenGL ES(and this was largely only possible thanks to the huge amount of work that everyone involved in the Mesa project puts in)

I'm not the original author of Arcade, but I am a current maintainer and put a substantial amount of time into it and it's community.

Interesting, looks like some of the default fonts are not getting frozen as part of the executable? I opened an issue: https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/issues/1252

Added clear method to UIManager (#1116)

Arcade can now run in headless mode on linux servers opening more possibilities for users in for example the data science community (#1107). See Headless Arcade for more information.

Fixed issue #978, copy button in examples moved to the left to prevent it disappearing.
