Description-en: reimplementation of the Pygame API using SDL2
Pygame_sdl2 is a reimplementation of the Pygame API using SDL2 and related
libraries. The initial goal of this project is to allow games written using
the pygame API to run on SDL2 on desktop and mobile platforms. The API will be
evolved to expose SDL2-provided functionality in a pythonic manner.
