Games in python and kivy, what to use?

Question

Python

Hello, I started learning Python as my first programming language not too long ago. My question is, is it possible to create games in pure Python? What is the kivy library for? Where is it better to create games in pure python or in a library?

Answer 1

Theoretically it is possible, in practice nobody does it. In practice, in principle, games are not made in python, only visual novels using RenPy . Once every five years, one indie python game appears, but no more, the infrastructure for creating games in python is very poor. Not so long ago, python support for the Godot engine appeared , you can try it, but generally speaking, don't count on much. In the context of games, consider python purely as a teaching language with little practical value.

Answer 2

Here is a toy, for example, written in Kivy:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rock...
So everything is possible. There would be a head on the shoulders. Judging by the question - it's too early to touch Kivy - you just need to learn how to program in Python. If you passed the Courses / read some book - go through at least a couple of islands on checkio.org
Then try to deal with GUI libraries. Although it's better to do something without a GUI first - bots, web ...

Answer 3

You can, for pampering and learning the language and its ecosystem.
pygame is a good beginner's choice, lots of tutorials on it.
