PScreen is a Python module that provides simple 2D drawing functions as well as mouse and keyboard I/O. So why use PScreen when there are many other APIs out there?
Simplicity. PScreen lets you do more with less. PScreen is small and concise. With PScreen you can draw on the screen, handle keyboard and mouse input, play sounds and music with less lines of code.
Great for learners. With PScreen you can learn by example! Our simple code samples show you how to use PScreen by example.
Small amount of code. It does not have hundreds of thousands of lines of code for things you won’t use anyway. The core is kept simple, and extra things like GUI libraries, and effects are developed separately outside of pygame.
Portable. PScreen runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X!
Pygame. PScreen is built on pygame. After mastering PScreen, you will be ready to dig in and create even more advanced games.
Download the full PScreen installer and run it. Alternatively, if the pyglet and pygame libraries are already installed on your computer, you can download just the individual installer for PScreen. Pygame and pyglet can also be obtained from www.pygame.org and www.pyglet.org, respectively.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| PScreen Full Installer | Includes the PScreen module and also the pygame/pyglet libraries. |
| PScreen Only Installer | Includes just the PScreen module. |
| Program Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Movement | Demonstrates simple key input and movement. |
| Alpha and Text | Demonstrates various shapes and alpha blending/transparency. |
| Mouse and Collision | Demonstrates mouse movement and collision (requires the sprite below in order to run). |
Click to download this sprite that can be used in your own games. Put it in the same directory as your Python script to use this with the sprite manipulation functions.

The Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor Software Suite is meant to make setup and configuration of the 3-Space Sensor easy. It provides a graphical view of the orientation output of the sensor, and gives access to many orientation calibration parameters such as oversampling and averaging. The data chart gives a quick view of either normalized or raw data coming from the accelerometer, compass, and gyroscope, and has options for logging data to the PC.
The 3-Space Sensor Software Suite provides support for all members of the 3-Space Sensor family, including configuration options for specific members. Features include a simple table interface to set up connections between 3-Space Wireless sensors and 3-Space Dongles, and capability to set the current time on the 3-Space Data Logging’s real time clock based on the PC’s system time.
The 3-Space Sensor Software Suite makes setup of some of the more advanced sensor options easy, as well. The suite provides HID customization capabilities, by which the sensor can be made to act as a joystick or mouse for the PC with user defined buttons and motion axes. The suite also has a wizard for setting up the sensor’s Multi-Reference calibration scheme, which can increase accuracy after a short calibration process. It gives access to firmware update capabilities as well.

The Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor Blender Motion Capture Plug-in is an addon for the open source 3D modeling program Blender. Once installed, the plugin provides tools for interfacing the Yost Labs 3-Space family of sensors with Blender, configure individual sensors, pair sensors with Blender armature bones, and record orientation data over time for driving armatures created in Blender. Utilizing these features, users may put Blender to work as an all in one tool for motion capture animation recording, clean-up, and editing.
Flexibility in capture options is also provided by the plugin. Options ranging from data stream and data poll rates to keyframe scaling options are all provided in an easy to use interface. Constraints on the length of time and number of frames captured may also be defined to further optimize any motion capture workflow. All data capture and storage is also performed from within Blender, which means any part of the capture pipeline may benefit from the collection of tools and options provided by Blender out of the box.
The 3-Space Motion Capture Plugin utilizes Blender’s powerful Python based API for creating the menus and tools necessary for interacting with the 3-Space family of sensor natively from within Blender. The plugin is also provided for free under an open source licence. This means others may expand, enhance, and learn from the code that drives it.
We also offer Strap Sets that can be used for placing the 3-Space Sensor devices.
Operating System – Windows XP(32-Bit), Windows Vista/7(32-Bit or 64-Bit)
Blender Version – Blender 2.60a or newer(32-Bit or 64-Bit) for Windows. Blender may be downloaded here.
NOTE: Version 2.61 of Blender is not supported by the Yost Labs 3-Space Blender Motion Capture Plugin due to a bug in that version of Blender. To use the plugin, please either install 2.60a or a version newer than 2.61 of Blender.
The Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor Blender Motion Capture Plug-in is released under the Yost Labs 3-Space Open Source License, which allows for both non-commercial use and commercial use with certain restrictions.

The Yost Labs 3-Space Mocap Studio is an open source motion capture application that uses the Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor™ devices. The interface is similar to other motion capture applications (e.g. Blender), but is more convenient in getting started with the 3-Space Sensor devices since the application was created for them. It automatically searches for 3-Space Sensor devices already in use by the computer on start-up of the application and can load in previous sessions that saved off 3-Space Sensor information. However, it can only set-up and record motion data. It cannot edit or clean-up the motion data like other motion capture applications. Do not sweat though, because the Mocap Studio can export its motion data using the BVH (Biovision Hierarchy) format which is a widely used form for motion capture data.
The Mocap Studio interfaces with the 3-Space Sensor devices through a Node Graph interface window which allows the creation of complex node configurations to facilitate communicate with 3-Space Sensor devices. It is within this window that you can edit 3-Space Sensor settings and pair 3-Space Sensor Dongle devices with 3-Space Sensor Wireless devices . The Node Graph can also manipulate the orientation data coming from the 3-Space Sensor devices to allow to sensor re-targeting or other complex mocap rigs.
We offer a Mocap Bundle that includes 17 Wireless devices and 3 Dongle devices to get you started on motion capturing at an affordable price.
We also offer Strap Sets that can be used for placing the 3-Space Sensor devices.

The Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor Interactive Cube-Space Demos are designed to demonstrate the fast real-time response and accuracy of the Yost Labs 3-Space Sensor™ family in a user friendly and entertaining way. There are two games included, a 3-dimensional maze and a color matching game. The maze game demonstrates the fine accuracy of the sensor as the player freely rotates a cube-shaped maze on all axes and navigate a ball to the the maze’s goal. The color matching game demonstrates the fast response time of the 3-Space Sensor as the player matches an on-screen cube’s color with a series of approaching colored rings.

The Yost Labs 3-Space Application Programming Interface (API) is a series of functions, classes, and structure definitions designed to make writing applications that utilize the Yost Labs 3-Space family of sensors fast and easy to support. Binary libraries (or source files depending on the supported language) are included for convenient integration into projects of any size or application.
Currently, the Yost Labs 3-Space API supports C/C++ and Python natively. The Python variant of the API is provided as a main module source file with several support/utility source files. The C variant of the API is distributed as a header (.h) and dynamic link library (.dll + .lib). With the C API, users that require easy integration of the 3-Space family of sensors into programming environments not natively supported may import the dynamic link library and call its contained functions from the importing program, as the API’s function prototypes are all compiled as C prototypes and are name mangled as such.
NOTE: Due to changes being made to the gyroscope calibration pipeline, the “setGyroCalibrationParam” and “getGyroCalibrationParam” functions are not currently supported.
The Yost Labs 3-Space APIs are released under the Yost Labs 3-Space Open Source License, which allows for both non-commercial use and commercial use with certain restrictions.
