Writings from the author of Automate the Boring Stuff.

Free Music, Sound Effects, Tiles, and 2D Art to Use in Your Games

Sat 30 April 2011    Al Sweigart

I've compiled a list of free graphics and sound files that you can use in your games. The chapter on using graphics and sound files with the Pygame library is in Chapter 19 of the "Invent with Python" book.

UPDATE: I just found a great, huge list: The Ultimate Indie Game Developer Resource List. There's also the Wikimedia Commons, OpenClipArt.org, and www.sxc.hu, a free stock photography site.
