PyCon and PyGame 1.8

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Okay, so I won’t write much about PyCon.

The highlights were spending lovely time with David Wolever and Jeff Balogh and a nice dinner with some Python/GSoC people that was comped. The talks that I attended were well done except for a walker-outer or two.

Guido surprisingly quoted Matz in his keynote, that is “open source needs to move or die.” I liked that.

In other news, PyGame 1.8 is out and has some nice new features.

Well, I was at PyCon 2k8 in Chicago (more to come, I promise). Beyond the people I met, the most important thing that happened was that I finally plunged head first in to PyGame. While what I’m about to show you a sneak peak of won’t be the first game of its kind, I hope it’ll be the best…
