PySkool as Port?

[HoraceAndSpider]

Hi there,

I am thinking about trying something a little different, and have been considering adapting the Skool Daze / Back 2 Skool port 'pyskool' to use a RetroArch-esque controller system (it is currently limited to keyboard controls, like the ZX Spectrum original)

It's a purely Python port, and has Pygame as a dependency. It's a bit funny with where it places all it's files etc, so i might try and tidy that up a bit if i can make i more self-contained.

I have had a look through the docs here, which mostly seems geared towards the RP install scripting. I was just wondering if there was anything i would need to consider for this ...

Is a purely Python game acceptable?

It has the option to have multiple 'versions' so i might need to do something like make a mini-GUI and things, but hopefully nothing major.

Any thoughts/considerations etc welcome before i think about how i might approach this.

Hi
you can try it your self
from command line type

wget https://pyskool.ca/downloads/pyskool/pyskool_1.2.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i pyskool_1.2.1-1_all.deb
run it with pyskool

if it needs python install it with apt-get install python
