## What it is
A collection of classic 2D mini-games (tank war, flappy bird, puzzle, ski, etc.) implemented in pure Python with pygame, published as the cpgames package. It is primarily an educational resource for learning Python game development.

## Use cases
- learn python game development with pygame
- play classic games like tank war and flappy bird written in python
- find example pygame source code to study
- build simple 2d games in python
- teach programming with fun game projects

## When to choose
- you want readable pygame examples of classic games
- you are learning Python and want fun projects
- you need small 2D game source code to remix

## When to avoid
- you need a production-quality or commercial game
- you want a full-featured game engine or 3D graphics
- you need polished assets with clear licensing for redistribution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, game, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, education
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: pygame, classic-games, 2d-games, learning-python, mini-games, game-development, desktop
