Proof of Concept
The original proof of concept that demonstrated Python could power a full 3D game.
The Beginning
Dicey Decks was the original proof of concept that started it all. Created during a game jam under the pressure of ETAM, this game proved that you could build a complete 3D game entirely in Python and GLSL, without relying on existing game engines.
While the game had its flaws, it demonstrated the core concept: Python could be used for real-time 3D graphics and game development. This proof of concept directly led to the development of Basilisk Engine, which would go on to power multiple award-winning games.
Winning the Spring 2024 TAGD Programming Award validated the approach and showed that Python-based game development was not just possible, but could produce competitive results.
