PyGame : tool with pygame and pyqt6 for sprites.

Python-CE : simulation continuous collision with PyQtGraph python module.

This test runs a pygame‑ce simulation inside a separate thread while a PyQt6 window displays a real‑time performance chart. The pygame engine creates multiple moving sprites, updates their positions every frame, and performs continuous collision detection between all sprites. During each frame, the engine measures the current FPS (frames per second) and counts how many sprite‑to‑sprite collisions occurred.

The PyQt6 interface collects these values and plots them live using PyQtGraph. The yellow curve represents the FPS over time, showing how well the pygame‑ce engine performs under load, while the red curve shows the number of collisions detected each frame. Together, the two curves let you visually evaluate both rendering performance and collision‑handling complexity as the simulation runs.

The source code is created with copilot artificial intelligence, tested and works very well.

Python-CE : How to fix DPI pygame‑ce on Python 3.13.0 and test your DPI monitors.

Today, I tried the high-DPI displays, and because I have Python 3.13.0, some features are not supported, but I fixed them.

This script is specifically designed for:

• Python 3.13
• pygame‑ce 2.5.7
• SDL 2.32.x (bundled inside pygame‑ce)

These versions have incomplete DPI support in the Python bindings.

Many DPI‑related functions that exist in SDL2 are not exposed in pygame‑ce for Python 3.13.

Examples of missing functions in your build:

• Window.drawable_size
• Window.from_display_surface
• Renderer.get_output_size
• pygame.display.get_window()

Because these functions are missing, PyGame-CE cannot read DPI information directly.

I adopted the ctypes solution because ctypes allows Python to call native Windows API functions directly.

I used these native Windows API:

• EnumDisplayMonitors → to list all monitors
• GetDpiForMonitor → to read DPI for each monitor
• SetProcessDpiAwareness → to enable DPI awareness

This bypasses pygame‑ce completely and talks directly to Windows, but pygame-ce can be used only for window creation and drawing.

ctypes is the only reliable way to get real DPI values on your current setup.

The script creates two independent SDL2 windows.

Drag each window to a different monitor.

Each window will show different DPI values.

You can compare scaling visually and numerically.

This script is designed for Python 3.13 + pygame‑ce 2.5.7, where DPI functions are missing.

I use ctypes to call Windows DPI APIs directly because pygame‑ce cannot access DPI.

The script creates two windows, each showing DPI and visual scaling tests.

With one monitor, both windows show the same DPI.

With multiple monitors, each window shows the DPI of its monitor.

This is the most advanced DPI test possible on your current setup.

I have only one monitor, and the result is the same.

Let's see the result:

Let's see the script:

import pygame
import pygame._sdl2 as sdl2
import ctypes
import sys

pygame.init()

# Windows DPI API
user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
shcore = ctypes.windll.shcore

# Enable per-monitor DPI awareness

except:
    pass

# --- Monitor enumeration ---
MONITORS = []

def _monitor_enum_proc(hmonitor, hdc, lprcMonitor, lparam):
    MONITORS.append(hmonitor)
    return 1

MonitorEnumProc = ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE(
    ctypes.c_int,
    ctypes.c_ulong,
    ctypes.c_ulong,
    ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int * 4),
    ctypes.c_double
)

user32.EnumDisplayMonitors(0, 0, MonitorEnumProc(_monitor_enum_proc), 0)

def get_monitor_dpi(index):
    if index >= len(MONITORS):
        index = 0  # fallback for single-monitor setups

    dpi_x = ctypes.c_uint()
    dpi_y = ctypes.c_uint()

    shcore.GetDpiForMonitor(MONITORS[index], 0, ctypes.byref(dpi_x), ctypes.byref(dpi_y))
    return dpi_x.value, dpi_y.value

PyGame-CE : First test example with pygame-ce-2.5.7

The biggest technical difference in version 2.5.7 is the expanded use of SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data)

It utilizes modern CPU instructions like AVX2 (Intel/AMD) and NEON (ARM/Apple Silicon).

Pixel-level operations—such as blending, alpha-compositing, and surface scaling 30% to 100% faster than the original Pygame. If you are doing real-time lighting or heavy particle effects

News : What is the difference between pygame and pygame-ce?

Python game development often begins with the popular pygame library. However, in recent years, a new alternative has emerged: pygame-ce (Community Edition). While both libraries share the same foundation, they differ significantly in development pace, features, and long-term vision.

• pygame: The original library created in the early 2000s, widely used for 2D games.
• pygame-ce: A community-driven fork created to modernize pygame and accelerate development.
• pygame: Updates are infrequent and focus on stability rather than innovation.
• pygame-ce: Receives frequent updates, bug fixes, and new features contributed by an active community.
• Better performance: pygame-ce includes optimizations for rendering and event handling.
• Improved math module: Enhanced Vector2 and Vector3 classes with additional methods.

PyGame : conversion tool from shadertoy to shader pygame .

Today I tested a new tool that converts source code for shadertoy language into source code for pygame.

Shadertoy uses a permissive WebGL‑style GLSL ES shader language, while PyGame (through PyOpenGL) requires strict desktop GLSL 330 Core.

This is the result for this shadertoy example.

News : ... new pygame version 2.6.0 .

... seams pygame team development works and released a new version, see the GitHub project.

PyGame : 5by5 linux game project - part 001.

The game is about your brain skills to hack the code based on minimal information versus total information.

The code has 5 distinct letters.

• click on the letters on the keypad
• the number of guessed letters is displayed in the form: centered - guessed letters on positions and moved guessed letters but on other positions

I used agentpy python module and pygame python module

The game can be found on my fedora pagure account.

PyGame : 8in8 linux game project - part 001.

I started a game project with the python packages pygame and agentpy in the Fedora Linux distribution.

You can find it on my fedora pagure repo

PyGame : ... antialiased filled circle !

The pygame python module does not implement an antialiased filled circle and this is the scope of this tutorial.

The pygame module for drawing shapes are:

• pygame.draw.rect - to draw a rectangle
• pygame.draw.polygon - to draw a polygon
• pygame.draw.circle - to draw a circle
• pygame.draw.ellipse - to draw an ellipse
• pygame.draw.arc - to draw an elliptical arc
• pygame.draw.line - to draw a straight line
• pygame.draw.lines - to draw multiple contiguous straight line segments
• pygame.draw.aaline - to draw a straight antialiased line
• pygame.draw.aalines - to draw multiple contiguous straight antialiased line segments.

Let's install pygame python module.

News : About my work and one of my websites.

I would like to bring to the attention of those who follow my activity on my websites and appreciate the inability to continue with one of the websites: free-tutorials.org. It is currently hosted on a free host, but I cannot import it 100%, which has led me not to complete it with new posts. The continuation of the activities there, considering the limited time, will be carried out on my blogs with the defined theme with which I started: Linux - Fedora, Graphics, Python, Pygame.

In the meantime, because the host is expensive and until now someone has helped me to host it on his server, it is possible to sell the domain: free-tutorials.org - I receive purchase offers at my personal Yahoo email address catafest@yahoo.com.

Minimum starting price 250 euros, because the domain is old from 2018.
