Pygame is a fun treat for new Python programmers, and I think a similar library for Guile would be even more fun. :) > In the past I've tried to wrap the Allegro 5 library using the Guile C API, and also with the FFI.

I looked briefly at the source code of Pygame and Pyglet and learned the following: > Pygame uses the Python C API to wrap up a bunch of SDL calls. Since Pygame uses SDL, the graphics functions use a software renderer which isn't optimal. > Pyglet doesn't seem to use any C code and instead uses the FFI. Pyglet sports OpenGL, X11, and FreeType bindings to name a few. I personally prefer this development model over Pygame's. > > What Guile libraries already exist that can provide needed functionality?

Figl (wingo's GL binding) is an obvious choice, as well as a Freetype binding (that I'm not sure exists). But what about the other important pieces such as sound and input? >
I'm glad that someone is interested on it :) And maybe you are looking for TTN's guile-SDL? It works anyway. But I'm not sure that Freetype binding exists. > Thanks, Guilers! > > - Dave >
