What a wild ride...

So this is my first entry ever where the total size is under 500kb and only 20kb of that is data!!!

Bad news:
BUGS! Up until the last 2 hours we didn't seem to have any, then it all fell apart :(
Basically, we are limited to using our big fancy network engine to just play single player! Which sucks so badly it isn't even funny :(

No sound, and little gfx, not even any animations...

So, from a pyweek perspective - this game is total fail.

Good news:
From the perspective that I completed all of my goals going into it. It sorta almost works, and can be continued later - I am very happy.
We have a multiplayer, mod engine, etc.
Everything is easy to add, once you get around the bugs.

Conclusion:
So, everyone, play the game, use the server to chat then play singleplayer, beat the AI, adn post in how many turns you do it.

If you wish to mod it (which is possible, just check /data/scenarios for the main game scenario to use as a template) post it here too.

I think you'd be hard pressed to say it's a total fail.  It fits the theme and has a win condition that can be completed.  So just a partial fail. =D

I'm excited that it's gotten GalaxyMage out of the mothballs and back into active development again.

I'm super excited about this! ... But when I try to install PIL it hangs and fails on windows 7 =( Is this something any of your team have seen? Is there a better way to install PIL than the .exe installer from the website?

I'm running Vista and it seemed to install ok from the .exe, though I know Vista isn't exactly the same as 7.

Running it as Admin got the installer to work -- now I'm seeing Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run_client.py", line 1, in

Do you know which version of zope I should install?

dang forgot that dependency - you don't need full zope, twisted needs the interface though:

pick the one you need... :)
