Using Arcade

I think we’ll take a cut at converting from pygame to Arcade today. I have a tentative idea, and I’m prepared to fail spectacularly. We’ll look at our calls to pygame shortly. I think there are few of them. Based on what we see, we’ll decide how to do this conversion. But I have a tentative plan in mind, which, if all goes as it usually does, may last little longer than it takes me to type it in here.
