PyWeek - iDG United

Drive a helicopter with a gunner suspended by a bungie cord through a warzone full of enemy helicopters, airplanes, and turrets.

KNOWN ISSUE: Game crashes when JIMMY (the final gunner is killed). Whoops.

SOLUTION: Become a master at the game, so that Jimmy never has to die. If you really must die, sacrifice the helicopter instead. Seriously, sorry about the error. It was a bug cause by a bug fix in the eleventh hour.

[ sixthgear @ 17:21 ] Thanks!

Thanks to all the judges for the kind words, and good suggestions. Sorry to all of the linux users who got segmentation faults. That was unexpected, and I will try to track down why that is happening and fix it up. This was my first Pyweek, and I had a lot of fun working on our entry, and playing all of your awesome games. I'll be back next time!

[ irskep @ 17:46 ] Standalone Mac version added

The Mac .app listed as a separate download should not require anything extra to be installed now. Please contact me if this is not the case - I don't have a test machine available.

Update: One confirmed test. Should be good to go.

[ irskep @ 17:12 ] Unforeseen dependencies

Apparently, our game requires AVbin to run in addition to Pyglet. You can get AVbin here.

[ irskep @ 00:13 ] Working on final upload

We are having some issues with py2app. Still tweaking setup.py. Final submission should be in in about 15 minutes. Update: We think everything is fixed, just double-checking.
