Sappho is a 2D game engine written with Python (2 and 3) and pygame.
Lily Seabreeze is this project's mom and owner. Be sure to checkout the AUTHORS.md!
Design Philosophy
- Don't interfere with the way people build their pygame games
- We are not automating game logic
- Sappho modules may not import other Sappho modules
- Inherit from pygame objects when possible; use conventional pygame models/architecture.
- Consistency.
- Simplicity trumps all else.
- Well documented.
- Code is easy-to-test. We show that with our 100% test coverage.
