Hi, I asked Copliot: 
Can you list several popular free games for Linux (with URLs) which were made in Python and Pygame?

Copliot gave this answer:
Below are several popular free games for Linux that were developed using Python and Pygame (or a toolkit built on them). Each of these titles has garnered its own following as a testament to what this accessible framework can achieve:

1. Frets on Fire

• Description: Frets on Fire is a rhythm-based music game that lets you simulate guitar playing through keyboard input. Inspired by games like Guitar Hero, its open-source nature has allowed an active community to create custom songs and mods over the years. Originally developed in Python with Pygame, it has been ported to Linux and remains a beloved classic among free games.

2. Trosnoth

• Description: Trosnoth is a free, multiplayer, side-scrolling game where teams compete in a dynamic, real-time environment. Developed with Python and Pygame, it delivers a mix of strategy and action while inviting players to team up and coordinate. Its design and cross-platform availability (including Linux) have made it a popular choice among indie and casual gamers alike.

3. Doki Doki Literature Club!

• Description: While primarily recognized as a visual novel with subversive narrative twists, Doki Doki Literature Club! was built using Ren’Py—a game engine written in Python that relies on Pygame for rendering. Its unexpected depth and innovative storytelling have propelled it to widespread popularity. It’s free to download and runs on Linux alongside other platforms.

so if you want quick solution to producing games
Pygame and python + AI might be solution.
you must try generate code and run in python
..so do you try that ?

No, I am not interested in Python.

There is a language with a special name on the list: Rust.

Yes. I have heard that it is very quick. But, like most new comers, it will take some time to "climb the ranks". Keep an eye on that one...
