Description
Mirra is a 2D openGL python library. It defines a set of classes to
render primitive shapes (Text, Pixel, Line, Circle, Rect, Bitmap, BitmaPolygon)
and manages rendering and user input (mouse and keyboard). Mirra focuses
on interaction and implements an event listener and classes that receive
mouse events. (in a way like macromedia director or flash do). It runs
using pygame(SDL) or WxPython.
Mirra is also thought to teach students (basically design and
multimedia students) programming in python by playing around with
graphics.
