leading to great gameplay. There is a wide selection of teams,

Frogatto is a "platformer", or "jump-and-run" videogame. Like many classic
games, the world is viewed as a cross-section seen from the side, and your
character walks and jumps between solid platforms, whilst avoiding monsters.
Frogatto is not a clone of any specific game; although, being a platformer,
it is impossible not to have something in common with titles like Mario or
Sonic, but authors are trying to innovate a bit.
Frogatto is also the protagonist's name. It's eponymous.

This package is python adaptor for the poker-eval toolkit for writing
programs which simulate or analyze poker games as found at
http://gna.org/projects/pokersource/. The python interface is
somewhat simpler than the C API of poker-eval. It assumes that the
caller is willing to have a higher level API and is not interested in
a one to one mapping of the poker-eval API.
