I've uploaded a new version of SimChip.

This version has a big pile of new levels, and a nicer way of presenting the test results.

Note that this version requires PyGUI 2.5.3.

I've uploaded a py2exe-bundled version for Windows, which doesn't seem to suffer so badly from the problem of quitting when you switch to a window belonging to another application.

To launch it, run "main.exe" in the SimChip folder.

There's one other dependency I forgot to mention in the README:

BeautifulSoup

There are only a couple of levels so far, but more are coming soon.

I also hope to add the following features before the deadline:

• Better editing facilities: copy/paste, etc.
• A better-looking test results window
• Some more stats in the test results, such as propagation delay and silicon area used
• If I get time, upload stats to a web site and produce SpaceChem-like graphs showing your achievements relative to other players

Hi and welcome. Have you come up with anything yet? =)

I wasn't sure what my involvement in Pyggy would be. Our PyWeek team, Multiverse Factory, is interested. We just haven't mobilized yet. In the meantime I needed something to chew on while I tried to put a dent in my DVR backlog. This is it.

And I thought what the heck, why not Pyggy it as a solo entry.

I began the game logic from scratch a couple weeks ago, and day by day it is shaping into the casual jumbled word solving game I always wanted. It is currently playable. No race the clock mode, no pointless arbitrary score keeper, and no stupid license key to lose. Just pure mindless word solving fun. Er... if you can call word solving mindless.

Some days it's been an interesting challenge. Like: how can I possibly fit 400+ words in a tiny area and stay sexy. Move over, Megan Fox.

Here is the project site.

And here is the first whack.
