Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame adds functionality on top of the SDL library. Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games. SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.  SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings available for several other languages, including C# and Python. Pygame, together with SDL, allows users to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.

Number of words in file =  122
