## Why *Pylash*
1. Cross-platform. Leveraging compatibility of the underlying engine *PySide2*, *pylash* supports many mainstream platforms including Ubuntu, macOS and Windows.
2. Easy-to-use APIs. *Pylash* adopts ActionScript-like interface designs to raise the efficiency of game developing.
3. Lightweight. *Pylash* does not come with piles of third-party tools and frameworks.
4. Comprehensiveness. *Pylash* is a universal framework and provides various object-oriented interfaces including display of images, text and vector graphics, collision detection, tween animation, multimedia, etc.
## Get Started with *Pylash*
### Installation
```bash
$ pip install pylash-engine
```
### Hello World Program
Create a *Python* file and open it with your favorite text editor. Type in the code below:
```python
from pylash.core import init, addChild
from pylash.display import TextField
def main():
txt = TextField()
txt.text = "Hello World"
txt.size = 40
txt.x = txt.y = 100
addChild(txt)
init(30, "Hello World", 400, 300, main)
```
Run the *Python* file. If a window with a "Hello World" text shows up, you have installed *pylash* successfully.
