Raspberry Pi Pygame UI basics
Getting to grips with Pygame as a UI framework on the PiTFT
by Jeremy Blythe
This guide starts with the absolute basics to build user interfaces on the PiTFT in Pygame. It shows how to update the screen from a GPI. Then, in reverse, the touch screen is used to control a GPO. Next, a UI framework is introduced - this makes better looking interfaces and more elegant code. Finally, an analog input is used to control a gauge widget on the display.

Kali Linux on the Raspberry Pi with the PiTFT
Install Kali Linux on your Pi, and add a kernel that supports Adafruit's PiTFT display.
by Brennen Bearnes
Kali is a security and penetration testing distribution, preloaded with a wide range of network tools and other utilities. If you'd like to use it on a Raspberry Pi with the PiTFT display, there's only one real problem: It uses a custom kernel which doesn't presently include all the stuff you need to use the PiTFT as a touchscreen. We'll go over the basics of an install and remedy the kernel situation.

Running OpenGL-based Games & Emulators on Adafruit PiTFT Displays
More Games = More Fun!
by Phillip Burgess
Adafruit’s PiTFT displays link to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header instead of a video port, making them compact & ideal for portable projects. But this connection normally limits them to a subset of specially-compiled games and emulators — high-performance OpenGL-based games were previously incompatible. New software now makes gaming more practical on these tiny displays!
