A lightweight Python library for building games and interactive applications with simplicity in mind.
PySeries is a collection of Python packages designed to make game development and interactive graphics more accessible. Whether you're building your first clicker game or experimenting with graphical applications, PySeries offers a gentle learning curve without sacrificing functionality.
- Py2D - The main graphics and game development package
- PySound - Audio rendering and sound management (similar to
pygame.mixer)
PySeries is perfect for:
- 🎓 Beginners learning game development
- 🚀 Rapid prototyping of simple games
- 🎨 Building clicker games, basic platformers, and GUI applications
- 📚 Educational projects and coding workshops
PySeries might not be ideal for:
- 🎮 Complex, production-ready games
- ⚡ Performance-critical applications
- 🌐 Cross-platform game deployment
- 🎬 Advanced graphics and animation systems
Let's see how Py2D, Pygame, and Turtle stack up against each other:
- Extremely concise syntax - less boilerplate code
- Faster startup time for small projects
- Built-in high-level features (Stopwatch, Score, TextBox)
- Multi-window support out of the box
- Rich color palette (300+ named colors)
- Great for beginners and quick prototypes
- Smaller community and ecosystem
- Limited documentation and tutorials
- Less suitable for complex game mechanics
- Fewer third-party extensions
- Not widely adopted in production
- Industry-standard library with huge community
- Extensive documentation, tutorials, and resources
- High performance and optimization
- Cross-platform compatibility
- Rich ecosystem of plugins and extensions
- Suitable for production-level games
- Active development and long-term support
- More verbose code for simple projects
- Steeper learning curve for beginners
- Requires more boilerplate for basic functionality
- Manual implementation of common UI elements
- Longer initial setup time
- Simplest syntax - perfect for absolute beginners
- Built into Python standard library (no installation)
- Excellent for teaching programming concepts
- Immediate visual feedback
- Great documentation for learners
- Zero configuration required
- Very limited game development features
- Poor performance for complex graphics
- Single window limitation
- No built-in audio support
- Not suitable for real game projects
- Limited control over graphics rendering
Let's build the same clicker game in all three frameworks:

Note: Turtle struggles with precise click detection and lacks built-in UI components
Just like Pygame has pygame.mixer, PySeries includes PySound for managing game audio and sound effects.
Py2D comes with 300+ named colors built-in, making it easy to design visually appealing games.
No more memorizing RGB values or hex codes!
- To build something quickly with minimal code
- A gentler introduction than Pygame
- Built-in UI components (buttons, scores, timers)
- To prototype game ideas fast
- To build a serious, distributable game
- Maximum control and performance
- Access to a large community and resources
- Industry-standard game development experience
- The absolute simplest way to learn programming
- No installation requirements
- To teach basic coding concepts visually
- Simple drawing and animation projects
- 📖 Full Documentation (coming soon)
- 💬 Community Discord (coming soon)
- 🎥 Video Tutorials (coming soon)
- 🐛 Report Issues
PySeries is open source and welcomes contributions! Whether it's bug fixes, new features, or documentation improvements, we'd love your help.
Each framework has its place:
- Turtle is perfect for absolute beginners
- Py2D bridges the gap between learning and real development
- Pygame is the professional choice for serious projects
Choose the tool that matches your goals and skill level. Happy coding! 🎮✨
