== Sugargame ==
Sugargame is a Python package which allows [http://www.pygame.org/ Pygame] programs to run well under Sugar.
It is fork of the olcpgames framework, which is no longer maintained.
Sugargame embeds the Pygame window into a GTK window, and translates GTK
events to Pygame events.
What it does:
* Wraps a Sugar activity around an existing Pygame program with few changes
* Allows Sugar toolbars and other widgets to be added to the activity UI
* Provides hooks for saving to and restoring from the Journal
Advantages vs olpcgames:
* Simpler code
* More elegant interface between Pygame and GTK
* Runs as a single thread: no thread related segfaults
== Using Sugargame ==
To use Sugargame in an activity, copy the sugargame folder into the activity's
source directory.
The activity directory should look something like this:
activity/ - Activity directory: activity.info, SVG icon, etc.
sugargame/ - Sugargame package
MyActivity.py - Activity class
mygame.py - Pygame code
setup.py - Install script
To make the Activity class, start with test/TestActivity.py.

Sugargame is developed by Wade Brainerd <wadetb@gmail.com>.
It is loosely based on the source code to the olpcgames framework, developed by
the One Laptop Per Child project.
