	asciisprites Converts an ascii image to a polychrome pygame.Surface or a list of asciis to an animation.

	Prodigy Game Engine A 2D Game Engine Made On Top Of Pygame. Very Easy To Use And Good For Making RPGS And Arcade games.

	fabula Fabula is an Open Source Python Game Engine suitable for adventure, role-playing and strategy games and digital interactive storytelling.

	PyGame Text Utilities PyGame Text Utilities is a package that will allow PyGame developers to easily implement text-based systems into their PyGame programs. This includes the formatting and layout of text, advanced text layout, and the ease of creating interactive text functions such as menus and on-screen displays. Text Tools will allow developers to present their users with dialog and information in a systematic and simplified way.

	Simple Sprite Renderer Simple Sprite Renderer is an abstraction layer on top of pygame that handles the low level drawing work for you.

	zModule This module provides a very simple to use game engine and various stuffs to make a simple GUI for pygame.

	DrawSpiral() function A function for drawing spirals in Pygame

	Astral Networking Astral networking is a high level multiplayer programming library. It can use PodSixNet or Mastermind for messaging. It's focus is on solid multiplayer algorithms to help set up realtime multiplayer games without any fuss.

	PyBoids Python implementation of the boids algorithm.

	txtlib Txtlib is a useful library to print text on the screen. It support basic text formatting. Just set area, text and format options!!!

	PyGL3Display PyGL3Display is a high performance, OpenGL, 2D sprite library for Python/Pygame with a simple API not too dissimilar to Pygames. It requires slightly more recent hardware than other libraries, but it is "breaks the Pygame FPS counter" fast*.

	Sprite Movement Towards a Target An example of sprite movement towards a x,y coordinate

	BulletML BulletML is the Bullet Markup Language. BulletML can describe the barrage of bullets in shooting games

	dumbmenu Another Module to create a Textmenu

	Curve Python implementation of LaGrange, Bezier, and B-spline curves. The algorithms use their respective interpolation/basis functions, so are capable of producing curves of any order. The B-splines use Cox-De Boor and support knot insertion. 2-d only.

	Vizier-Xrects vizier: a package for managing sprites and the screen, provides scrolling, scaling, and collision response. xrects: a package for polygons. uses the pygame rect as the axis aligned bounding box (AABB), and subclasses the rect to add the polygon object and methods for collision detection.

	Opossum Engine Advanced 2d Game Engine with physics courtesy of pyBox2d.

	pygamegw gfxdraw wrapper to increase backwards compatibility with older versions of pygame.

	LibRPG A framework based on Pygame/Python for developing old-school 2D tile-based RPGs.

	Ringtale A simple framework for managing multiple states of a game.

	Vizier Vizier is a library providing easy-to-use interface with Pygame's scaling and rotate transformations. The package also includes the vizier module, and a module called 'xrect' which adds rotated rectangle class (with collision detection!), and a line object implementing clipping using liang-barsky (useful varied tasks), and simple line tracing. Most stuff has been tested in at least a cursory manner, but full testing still needs to be done. This package is in beta and maturing. The scaling system in particular can benefit from memoizing or some sort of caching. A main reason for release of this is just to get code out there for doing things that I thought are basic pygame stuff, but that I had a hard time finding succint and usable code for doing. I do hope the library itself is useful to people, and that the interface is general enough that people can use it as is.

	MenuClass A flexible graphical menu in pygame/python for text and/or images

	pygame transparent vectors A simple lib that can create pygame vectors with alpha transparency.

	Water Ripples Water rippling effect.
