Curiosity is as good a reason as any!

I believe at one point PyObjC supported GNUStep
(http://www.gnustep.org), but it does not anymore. In other words,
PyObjC will unfortunately not be very useful to a Linux user. The
value proposition for PyObjC, for better or worse, is entirely to the
benefit of MacOS X developers who wish to interact with Cocoa using
Python.

I think for making a 2d game using Python, you'll have a lot of great
(read: better) options:

This is a huge departure from making a simple 2d game. :) Can't help
with this one, sorry ...

Best of luck,
