Wasabi2d is a game engine for Python, making it easy to use fast, modern graphical effects without low-level OpenGL programming.

Wasabi2d is

• Capable: draw sprites, polygons, lines, text labels and more

• Pretty, thanks to fast, built-in effects such as

  • Particles

  • Full-screen post-processing effects

• Written in “pure” Python (but relies on native extensions like Numpy)

• Fast due to heavy use of numpy, ModernGL and GPU acceleration

• Convenient, with an innovative (but optional) coroutine programming model.

• Works on Windows, Linux and Mac.

• Fully featured; wasabi2d does not just support graphics but screenshots, sound, music, tones, storage and more.
