Python Game Engines

In our ongoing Game Engines by Language series, today we are looking at the languages available for Python developers. That is, game engines where you can script your game logic using the python programming language. We have already done similar videos for Lua, C#, C++, Javascript and Haxe.

Currently covered engines:

Good choice to include Godot. GD script is enough like Python to be familiar to Python devs, but it does actually make an attempt to fix all the things that make Python an akward language for game programming. It adds Enums and Switches to the core language (not as an afterthought as with vanilla Python), and also adds optional typing.

PyGame hasn't had big updates in quite some time, to the point the Ren'Py project no longer is built upon it. PyTom took years to make a replacement for it in the Ren'Py code. Just a heads up to folks who want to look at it.

Pyglet is OpenGL based much harder than pygame, but way much powerful!

you covered all the most popular programming languages. Now theres only java left.

Also there is a Kivy framework. It looks good for some casual mobile games, I think.

I'm currently learning how to code with python at school. I wanted to learn a little more about this engine...

I'm more baffled by the fact that the python logo has actually 2 dots in its eyes in alternating color 0.o And I have been programming python for more than 3 years now.

I'd like to see maybe a combination episode that covers both Rust and Go. Both languages have a few frameworks / engines (probably 3 each)

Nice video, Mike!
Please do Java in the upcoming episodes.

I don't know if it existed at the time this video was created, but there's also Ursina which wasn't mentioned.

[sammadinah]

next one is ( no language game engines ) = visual blocks programing

[VideaVice]

Ya damn right you can make a list with Python!!!! :)

[hopelessdecoy]

Should add BASIC language engines to this list of videos

Hi, I have Blender 2.79b, and am unsure if it has the game engine and if so, where do I access it? Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[renatorobles]

Renpy awesome!!! 2:43 Thanks. Welcome 2021!!! 👏👏🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[purplelops]

Oh, it's Mike at Gamefromscratch!

My hermano, you tutorial is Very good 🧡

[thomasslone]

whats with all the game engines for python that they themselves do not use python script

[linux.]

the arcade has a lot of potential, the problem is that there aren't many tutorials on you tube, at least not here in Brazil

Godot is not python game engine. GDScript similair with Python (Because of syntax) but not the actual python
