Pygame for Game Jams
Is using pygame vaiable for participating in game jams?
I participated in the JMTK game jam using pygame since I have used it for quite a long time now, but the issue i ran into is that I spent half the time I had just coding the rendering engine that can render Tiled maps and allow collisions with obstacles. I ended up not finishing it (I also had school so I could not spend all my time on it)
Does anyone have any advice for how to spend more time on actual game development and less time on building the base systems which you would get by default in a game engine like Godot or Gamemaker. Or is using pygame for a game jam a lost cause?
