Pygame: Community Edition Website

About

The official website representing Pygame: Community Edition utilizing NextJS, ReactJS, and TypeScript. We are currently using GitHub Pages to deploy our website, which might change in the future if we decide to add a database to store user projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why the fancy tech stack?

In the future, this will not be just a fancy static website, we will be adding blog and user project showcase support and NextJS would be a big help in making it happen while Tailwind CSS would allow us to add CSS easier.

2. Can I add my game to the website?

Maybe! We currently do not have an official way to request for your game to be featured, but for now just message us through Discord. If your game impresses us, we will add it to the site's homepage.

3. Why is the domain pyga.me instead of pygame.org

pygame.org is not associated with the Pygame Community.
