A collection of classic Flash games rebuilt with pure Python & Web
Python Game Box (PGB) is a nostalgic tribute to the golden age of Flash games. It features a curated collection of classic mini-games, originally written in 100% pure Python code, and now expanding into web-based games powered by Three.js and React — run locally with a single command.
- Pure Python: All Python games are built from scratch using only Python and standard libraries
- Web Games: Browser-based games powered by Next.js, Three.js, and React — just
npm run dev - Lightweight: Simple, fast, and easy to run
- Nostalgic: Brings back the fun of classic Flash-era mini-games
- Cross-Platform: Python source code runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS; Web games run anywhere
- Extensible: Add new language ports under src/ (e.g. src/cpp/, src/web/)
| Game | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 🐍 3D Snake | Arcade | 3D Snake with path tracing, day/night cycle, arcade mode, 6 power-ups, CPU rival |
cd src/web/v0.1.0/Snake3D/
npm install

The src/ directory is organized by language/platform. Drop any new source code into src/<language>/<version>/. For example, to add C++ ports: src/cpp/v1.3.8/. This structure makes it easy to:
- Add new language ports under
src/ - Track which games exist in each version
- Keep source code separated by platform
