Development Status :: 3 - Alpha

Software has been:

• Linux:

  • TESTED OK on Ubuntu;
  • should be OK with all distros;

• macOS:

  • NOT YET TESTED;

• MS-Windows:

  • TESTED OK on Win 7 and 8 by Cyril Walle;

Any feedback for any platform is still the welcome.

What is a freefullware?

A freefullware is a new kind of software:

• Free as in Freedom;

• Free of charge (gratis);

• Ad-free (no advertisement at all);

• Donate-free (no 'Donate' button at all);

• 100% virus-free;

• no counterpart at all;

• really absolutely free;

Just get it and enjoy.

That's all, folks!

At this time, tkGAME project supports:

• Gabe: a Game browser that eases up selecting, downloading, installing and running a certified collection of games;

• new game: tk2048 (freefullware), a Tkinter clone of Gabriele Cirulli's famous puzzle game;

• xxxxxxx

We plan to implement the following FUTURE supports:

• enhancing tkGAME.lib in order to become a real Tkinter Game library for developers;

• aiming to create WYSIWYG game editors (board, puzzle, arcade, etc);

• xxxxxxx

  • tkinter installed correctly? (yes/no)

• context:

  • when did it happen?
    • while trying wiki tutorial code samples?
    • while trying features on one editor especially?
    • while trying to write your own game app with tkGAME features?

• traceback (optional):

  • are you sure IT IS a tkGAME error and not one of its additional editors?
