A fast, cutting-edge 2D game engine for Python.

Current features include:

• Sprites, text, and stroked and filled polygons - all rotatable, scalable, and colorizeable
• A coroutine programming model for easy animated effects.
• Particle systems
• Built-in post-processing effects using GLSL shaders.
• Sound, music and tone generation.
• Event driven input handling for keyboard and mouse.
• Animation/tweening.
• "Local storage" to easily save state.

Wasabi2D is based on moderngl, with pygame 2.0 for some supporting functions, and supporting APIs ported from Pygame Zero.

Draw a drop-shadowed circle that follows the mouse:

import wasabi2d as w2d

scene = w2d.Scene()
scene.background = 0.9, 0.9, 1.0

scene.layers[0].set_effect('dropshadow')
circle = scene.layers[0].add_circle(
    radius=30,
    pos=(400, 300),
    color='red',
)

@w2d.event
def on_mouse_move(pos):
    circle.pos = pos

w2d.run()

Use pip to install Wasabi2d from PyPI:

pip install wasabi2d

Please make sure your requirements.txt pins a major version, as Wasabi2D may continue to make breaking API and graphical changes in major versions.
