planes
About
planes is a hierarchical surface framework for PyGame.
The planes module introduces the "Plane" class which extends PyGame's "Surface" functionality, offering a hierarchy of mouse-sensitive, draggable Surfaces that can be used as sprites, windows, icons or other interactive elements.
In addition, the planes.gui module uses planes to provide basic GUI elements like container, label, text box, option list and button.
