pygame-core

separate

Structure a pygame (pygame-ce) game in Python: the init/event/update/draw loop, delta-time movement, Surface/Rect blitting, keyboard/mouse input, and Sprite/Group management with collision. Use when building or debugging a pygame game — when the user mentions pygame, pygame-ce, the game loop, blit, Surface, Rect, sprite groups, or clock.tick. Targets pygame-ce.

When to use

• Use when starting a pygame game, fixing the loop, frame-rate-dependent speed,
• Use when code does `import pygame` and the project depends on `pygame-ce`

When not to use

• Python language questions unrelated to pygame
• 3D rendering
• cross-engine save/load
• rebindable input architecture
