- EamonnMR 6y agoI'm curious as to what you found nightmareish about Pygame... It's SDL.
- symmitchry 6y agoYears of being extremely difficult to run on a Mac (no pip install), horrible website update (the old one was bad, but at least it was cool & functional), and on-going issues like this: https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/555 https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/555 There's not even a note on the website that it's entirely broken in Mojave. It's just _always_ something. Compared to LOVE and numerous other projects which just worked right out of the box. I'm a total Python guy, but Pygame has always been frustrating.
- EamonnMR 6y agoFair enough. Though I have similar complaints about other packages on mac (Python and Ruby MySQL packages being good examples.)
