Full API Documentation#
Rubato is a modern 2D game engine for python. Accurate fixed-step physics simulations, robust scene and game object management, event listener system and more all come prepackaged.
Fundamentally, Rubato is built developer-focused. From intricate rigidbody simulations to 2D games, Rubato streamlines development for beginners and the poweruser. And all that finally with some legible documentation.

Scenes and Their Management#
Scenes
hold a collection of Game Objects and Groups. It also manages a
Camera
. Scenes are used to compartmentalize code. For example,
you could have each level of your game on a different scene. Then to switch levels you would switch scenes.
Every game has a Scene Manager
which helps you switch between scenes
easily.
Groups
also hold a collection of Game Objects and other Groups. Their main purpose is to
further compartmentalize items. For example, items in 2 different groups won’t collide with each other. In this tutorial,
we won’t be using Groups as we don’t need this functionality here.
