A couple weekends ago I wanted to play around with some game ideas, to see if they were super-awesome or boring. I needed a simple framework to prototype them on, so I whipped one out using pygame. Then I sketched up some art. And made an installer.

And totally forgot to play around my original game ideas.

Damn. Maybe next time.

Anyway, here it is: a simple scrolling demo made with python and pygame. It has no real purpose (unless you want to do scrolling in pygame).

Great, now I’m stuck in X with no mouse. Here’s a handy python script to get it back:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# get the mouse back after an SDL app crashes

import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)
pygame.event.set_grab(True)
pygame.quit()
