Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively.

I choose Python for this project since I was curious about PyGame and because I have strong background in C/C++ I wanted to learn more about the SDL library..

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.

SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings available for several other languages, including C# and Python.

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame adds functionality on top of the excellent SDL library.
