    Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)

  • I have been recently exploring different evolutionary algorithms working with processing, a java 2d-renderer / IDE / whatever, that let's me do cool stuff like this. I want to do the same thing but on python (reasons below), but I can't seem to find an intuitive library that does this. It's a really simple "draw a circle on a background, update the circle's position every frame". I've found libraries like pillow and pixie, but they don't seem to really match what I'm looking for. And there are so many potential other libraries I could check out that I don't know where to begin with.

  • Dear PyGui might suit your needs quite well as it allows for drawing, layering if you want as well, and includes all the buttons, sliders and other controls you might need. Have a look at some example apps.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
