The pygames hackathon runs from March 20th, 2023 to April 17th 2023, and is open to people in USA and Canada. For this one there's $12,700 in prizes. "If you love programming and gaming, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your skills and have some fun!"
pygame.org (the website) welcomes all Python game, art, music, sound, video and multimedia projects. Once you have finished getting started you could add a new project or learn about pygame by reading the docs. For more information on what is happening in the pygame world see the community dashboard web page, which lists many things like our projects we are working on, news (our blog with rss), twitter, reddit (forum), stackoverflow (Q&A), Bitbucket (development), irc(chat), mailinglist (we love writing electronic mail to each other) and other various bits and pieces about pygame from around the internets.
The online documentation stays up to date with the development versionof pygame on github. This may be a bit newer than the version of pygameyou are using. To upgrade to the latest full release, runpip install pygame --upgrade in your terminal.
Installing from source is fairly automated. The most work willinvolve compiling and installing all the pygame dependencies. Oncethat is done, run the setup.py script which will attempt toauto-configure, build, and install pygame.
Marcus Von Appen: many changes, and fixes, 1.7.1+ freebsd maintainer
This basically means you can use pygame in any project you want,but if you make any changes or additions to pygame itself, thosemust be released with a compatible license (preferably submittedback to the pygame project). Closed source and commercial games are fine.
