Editing Pygame (section)

==Features==
Pygame uses the [[Simple DirectMedia Layer]] (SDL) library,{{Efn|name=fn1}} with the intention of allowing [[real-time computer graphics|real-time]] [[computer game]] development without the [[low-level programming language|low-level]] mechanics of the [[C (programming language)|C programming language]] and its derivatives. This is based on the assumption that the most [[computationally expensive|expensive]] functions inside games can be abstracted from the game logic, making it possible to use a [[high-level programming language]], such as Python, to structure the game.<ref name="about"/>

Other features that SDL does have include vector math, [[collision detection]], 2D sprite [[scene graph]] management, [[MIDI]] support, camera, pixel-array manipulation, transformations, filtering, advanced freetype font support, and drawing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pygame.org/docs/ |title=Pygame docs|website=Pygame.org}}</ref>

Applications using Pygame can run on Android phones and tablets with the use of Pygame Subset for Android (pgs4a).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/renpytom/rapt-pygame-example|title=Example of using RAPT to package pygame(_sdl2) games.: renpytom/rapt-pygame-example|date=1 April 2019|access-date=1 April 2019|publisher=GitHub}}</ref> Sound, vibration, keyboard, and accelerometer are supported on Android.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pygame.renpy.org/api.html |title=API — Pygame Subset for Android |access-date=14 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019204533/http://pygame.renpy.org/api.html |archive-date=19 October 2014 }}</ref>
