I've never worked with pyqt myself, but I image that drag 'n drop is something built-in, which will be really useful for a card game.

0 | 0 | I'm new to pyglet. I'd like to change a pixel from black to white at each on_draw iteration. So after 1000 iterations, there should be exactly 1000 white pixels in the window. However, I'd like to avoid calling 1000 draw operations in on_draw for that. So I'd like to create an image, do an RGB putpixel on the image, an... | false | 4,532,008 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | It seems there is no easy way to do this in pyglet.
