Pygame is a technology developed by Pete Shinners Python - programming library for game programming.
It contains modules for playing and controlling graphics and sound as well as for querying input devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick). Pygame uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer library as a basis . The aim is to be able to develop computer games without having to resort to low-level programming languages like C. This is based on the assumption that the most computationally intensive functions within a computer game (primarily graphics routines) can be completely abstracted from the game logic and therefore a high-level programming language such as Python can be used to describe the game as such and how it works to structure.
