Description

TextWidget: is a simple way to create "text buttons" for your PyGame applications. The project is LGPL so you can use it in any project that you want. It's pretty simple stuff so it's not meant to be the definitive way to do this, just a simple solution for people that just want to drop a class in and have working "text buttons". You can read about how to use the widget on on my blog: http://www.learningpython.com/2006/12/13/textwidget-a-simple-text-class-for-pygame/

Just noting that the filename in the 0.11 download @ Google Code is TextWidget.py, not textwidget.py as the Changes state. And the svn trunk requires authentication - not sure if that's the way it's intended.

Hey Anonymous, Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a blog post (noted above) that outlines how it works, but I do plan on putting more information in the TextWidget "distribution". (heavy quotes)

Hi Shiroku, Thanks for the information, it must be a problem with versions of PyGame. I've fixed the issue. You can grab the latest version (not much of a change) from the SVN server: http://code.google.com/p/textwidget/source/checkout

GREAT idea. My suggestion: also include an easy-to-read example on how to do it without using your class. That way people an learn do do so on their own.
