[Baypiggies] Next week's meeting: Widgets for Pygame

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday September 24, 2019*
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm online

Wanted to make something with Pygame but never got the chance? Irv's
framework makes it easy!

Relatively new to Python and want to learn about Object-Oriented design?
Learn from an expert, with both industry and teaching experience!
pygwidgets: Object-Oriented GUI Widgets for Pygame

The talk will start with a quick description of the pygame
<https://www.pygame.org/news> environment, which is used for building
graphical user interface based games and applications in Python.
Unfortunately, pygame does not provide standard user interface widgets
(e.g., buttons, text boxes, etc.). "pygwidgets" (pronounced "pig wijits")
was written to fill this void. I will explain the use of these widgets from
a programmers point of view (the API), and talk about the implementation as
a good example of object-oriented programming techniques.

The code may be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/IrvKalb/pygwidgets and
the documentation at https://pygwidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html.
