| 5 | 3 | 4 | Awesome idea! |
||
| 2 | 2 | 3 | nice idea.. hard to play |
||
| 2 | 2 | 4 | Incredibly original idea, marred by bugs and glitches. I would love to see a better implementation (and also some multiplayer). Maybe the community can help. Not close to theme, but I'll hand it to you for coding such a twisted idea. |

| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. |
|
| 4 | 4 | 5 | The idea is quite unique. I like the graphics, despite their simplicity. Another thing, this could turn into an awesome two-player game, turning it into a game of creativity if the vocabulary is extensive enough. Mechanics would have to be adapted, of course, but I think it would be pretty neat. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Segmentation fault (Windows XP SP2). Too bad, because this one seemed like one of the more interesting games this PyWeek. :( |
|
| 4 | 4 | 4 | nice game, pity it didn't like the word "GRASS" :P (really, i don't know why: ra@tachikoma:~/Desktop/5/noidea/galvinball-0.3.3$ python run_game.py |
||
| 3 | 3 | 5 | I love the idea! I enjoyed playing around trying to get new rules to work. Unluckily it's quite buggy and broke a bit, so that took fun away. I'd very much like this idea to become a finished game! |

|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | Nice graphics, but the game is not fun. It's difficult to write new rules, and there is no much challenge in the game. |
||
| 2 | 2 | 2 | Graphics and controls need a lot more work. The game also doesn't gave a very interesting or coherent objective - get to the ball first? Also, Calvin and Hobbes isn't public domain - so that, unfortunately, so that almost disqualifies this entry (fortunately you named it "Galvinball" and escaped my wrath). |
||
| 4 | 2 | 5 | yes | Very cool idea for a game. I would consider expanding the concept and adding more breadth (more commands and such) and a good AI, it has a good potential to be a superb game. As it stands, the interface is a little rough (I would have preferred to begin a rule just by typing, and the pauses were a bit annoying). I thought the levels were interesting. One thing this game did not do, in my opinion, is fit the theme, so I voted to disqualify. |
|
| 2 | 2 | 5 | Nice idea! |
||
| 2 | 1 | 5 | Amazing idea, but extremely buggy: boy disappears when dog gets close, crashes on numerous inputs (e.g. "all trees become grass"). Suzanne doesn't speak up enough to learn the phrases. I also had to phrase everything (often incorrectly) in plural form for it to be understood. Suzanne's movement is erratic. |
||
| 4 | 3 | 5 | great idea, the parser works very good. |
||
| 4 | 3 | 5 | This is a really interesting idea! Needs some work to make it more robust, though -- it seems to crash easily if you use words it doesn't understand. Also seems to get quite sluggish when there are more than a few rules in effect. |
||
| 1 | 2 | 4 | Very good idea about changing rules during the game, but it wasn't fun even; it would be good if you told somewhere which rules were available |
||
| 3 | 2 | 5 | haha this is a great idea! though you stole it from the comic strip... nevertheless i give you full innovation! on the bad side: its not really fun, having to type in all the commands.maybe versus a human (networked) and being able to enter them with a point-n-click interface it would have been more intuitive. this idea is definilty worth a remake next time!! I'm not DQing you because I find the game in itself twisted enough. |
||
| 5 | 2 | 5 | One of the most innovative games this time around - every now and then, I'd break the game with a stack dump, but I kept coming back. I kept making stuff into sand, which almost made the game too easy. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 4 | more examples in documetnation! |
||
| 2 | 2 | 4 | A clever idea. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 5 | This would be an awesome game if the rules you could make were more diverse. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | Thanks! |
||
| 4 | 4 | 5 | Good fun, I think this would be a great idea for an online idea where you make up the game.<br><br> |
||
| 4 | 2 | 5 | yes | Even if the graphics are not very nice, and the implementation is flaky (a lot of commands end up in a traceback), this game is one of the most innovative ideas I've ever seen, and nicely done. Had a lot of fun playing it (would have rated exceptional if it were not for the crashes). |
|
| 1 | 2 | 2 | I don't like |
||
| 4 | 4 | 5 | This is a fun concept. It got me thinking of how it could be integrated into a larger game, where |

| 4 | 3 | 5 | Really fun g ame and not least a brave, and quite successful, attempt to implement such random gameplay :) |
