Fox Assault

Save the chickens!

The aim of the game is to make as much money as possible from your chicken farm. The problem is the foxes, which want to eat your chickens. Since hiring guards is both too expensive and unreliable, the obvious solution is to help the chickens defend themselves.

A team entry by members of the Cape Town Python Users Group. "The Rinkhals has eclectic tastes."

Tenshee

First time in PyWeek, my first game in Pygame, actually. Simple game about an angel losing feathers. Keep the angel in the air as long as you can, using chimneys making the angel soar, and clouds keeping the angel on its level. The name "tenshee" is basically "angel" ["tenshi"] from Japanese, changed to avoid confusion with a Linux tool.

Rise of Featherations

For a very long time the United Featheration (UF) spanned the whole globe of Poultry, one of the planets in the solar system Fowl. All was well until the citizens of the UF started to ask themselves where they were ultimately coming from.

The majority of the UF didn't bother with that after sufficent scientific explanations were found. However, two minorities kept their (religious) views on the origin of featherkind and eventually formed armies to enforce their beliefs.

And while the UF government is now desperately trying to organize something that hardly resembles an army, two new featherations prepare themselves to decide the one and only origin of featherkind.

Hen or Turkey - YOU decide!
