The finish line has been crossed! In the version 1.0 directory, you will find the source, as well as a directory containing the windows executable. I had a ton of fun developing Run!, and learned quite a bit. I will be making another diary entry in a few hours going into more detail regarding the development process.

Overall, I'm very happy with the end product, especially considering it's only my second completed game. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks!

My highest score is 4365, can you beat it?

It's all over! Finishing up early - feeling rather lousy with this cold so want to relax :-)

It's been interesting. it's been fun. Learn't a good deal. Game is playable though there's not much to do other than rack up a big high score. Some good ideas not realised. There's some useful bits of code, which could rescued from the of lines and lines of code jam rush-jobs and used in other projects. Hit some horrible bugs which required real perseverance to resolve today. Was nice developing in Linux using Geany and Python 3.

Will upload tomorrow. Well done to all those who took part! Off for a celebratory cider :-) 

Final version of the game uploaded!!
Well, and now I go quickly to have dinner that I arriving late!!!

That was very hard week, and we want to thank you for that wonderful opportunity!

So, shortly about the Game:

Unfortunately I have been feeling sick all day and can't stay up to finish, ehm, well progress my entry a bit more. Since there isn't much gameplay I decided to not submit my entry. Also the fire animation does hog the CPU. My little advance today was to ease this by doing the heat source differently.

Congratulations to everyone that has finished.

Maybe I will redo this game for pyggy

Well, there are 6 hours left, but to be honest... I'm exhausted.



The final version is better than I was expecting, despite I made few mistakes that wasted time and energy. In fact, it looks like a game! :)

So I'm quite satisfied. I'm not sure if the difficulty and the progression are correct, so it may be too hard or too easy depending on your skills. At least I hope you enjoy playing it for few minutes (it's not too long).

That's it. Now I'm going out to have dinner with my partner, that has been very supportive for the last two days. I'll write a post-mortem in the next few days. Cheers!

Is it possible to delete an entry?

I think I'll stop here. There's a win condition and a loss condition. And I figured out how to modify the HTML on the page so you get a log there what is going on. The darkness also looks nicer now.

My experiment to use Python3 for HTML games is basically successful. The outcome is that pyjs needs a lot of work to produce more efficient Javascript (or browsers need to do HTML5 more efficiently, I never used Javascript/HTML5 myself since I refuse to code in anything but Python - therefore not sure if native code would be much faster). I really missed WebGL support, I think that may have helped a lot.

Also some language constructs like super() don't seem to work properly yet. But I suppose I should simply file a bug report about that and they'd fix it.

The final version (As submission I'll put the .py sources plus the exact same .html files into a .zip) is here:

Great fun this past week and I learned an enormous amount.   Thank you to everyone for their help.

Many of the submissions are fantastic.

I'm off to my son's soccer game and then taking the family to the beach.

In addition to programming, I also learned about copyrights and royalty-free licensing for both images and music.  I've tried to be compliant with all copyrights and licenses that I could learn about.

I started to experiment with mixer channels for the first time so that the sound doesn't get cut off during a clip that repeats.  For example, the game can now play multiple gunshots and explosions at the same time.

I never got smooth scaling to work on the graphics.  I created different models that used surface scaling, but I never got it to work properly.  I definitely want to use Sprites groups the next time.

I also created a different version using USEREVENT custom timers using pygame.time.set_timer().  This version doesn't have custom timers.  I still need more practice with that.  Maybe I will be able to use the pygame Clock more effectively for the next challenge.

This was my first experience trying out Inkscape.  I had a tough time using it.  GIMP remains challenging.

Right now, everything is in one single file.  I hope to break it up into different libraries next time.

Hooray!

My first pyweek complete. Time has been really limited last days so Im quite pleased to have finished.

Code started nice and ended up a mess :)

Looking forward for all games to play!
