Pygbutton - A Button UI Element for Pygame http://inventwithpython.com/blog/2012/10/30/creating-a-button-ui-module-for-pygame/ Pygbutton is a simple button UI that you can add to your Pygame programs. You can download a few example programs here: http://inventwithpython.com/pygbutton_src.zip The code to implement it is fairly basic: import pygbutton buttonObj = pygbutton.PygButton((50, 50, 60, 30), 'Button Caption') while True: # main game loop for event in pygame.event.get(): # event handling loop if 'click' in buttonObj.handleEvent(event): pass # Do stuff in response to button click here. buttonObj.draw(DISPLAYSURFACE) # where DISPLAYSURFACE was the Surface object returned from pygame.display.set_mode() The full explanation of the code and how it was written can be found in the aboved linked blog post.
