We were in the first pyweek but with all of the new members and all the people moving out we're almost an entirely new team. Our team website is BlazeOfGlory.org.
Our game was a top-down shooter with a mimic of the "USS Monitor" as the hero. It has a level editor and even a website.

TrainTris
- traintris.zip — The game
A tetris-like with steam trains! ;)
Known bugs:
- No time limit warnings!
- No indication of "score this level" for score-limited levels
- When you lose your last life due to time running out, you get the level start screen before the game over screen
- High score music doesn't work
- Music loops in the wrong places
Known problems that aren't technically bugs:
- Score limit in level 4 is ridiculously high. To change this, open "levels/4.goals" and change the line that says 500000 to something more realistic - 20000, for example. Either that or remove the time limit and play for a very, very long time ;)

Steam of the Colossus!
- richard-sotc-final.tgz — got some sounds effects in there too
My entry is quite a simple one - I only spent about 25 hours of the actual week programming and doing the graphics for it. I didn't want to stress out by setting the bar really high, and I had fun with just the simple little game. I learnt to use PGU which was good too.
OS X users will need to disable the sounds - see my diary entry on the issue.

Solo
Waterloo, ON, Canada
It's a game where you maintain a rainbow by heating up some water and blowing steam at it. I want to keep it very simple as it's a solo project and I want to sink a lot of time into art/sound.
Also this will give me (hopefully) time to play test it with people and make last-day tweaks.
Win 32 Users:
Don't run it from source. Best to just download the big prebuilt zip file. Unless you apply the patch 'fix_snippet.py'. Also if you choose to apply the patch, and change that method in 'fix_snippet.py', you'll need to add "allImages={}" to the __init__ method of ManualHeater.

Steam Pipe Dreams
- pipedreams.zip — Pipe Dreams Final Entry
You work for the brilliant scientist Professor Werner Von Trapple. He is currently researching a cure for cancer, but needs to conduct some experiments.
He's hired you as the worlds foremost expert on building Steam Pipes to help connect his boiler to his 'machine' which will perform the experiments automatically.
The 'machine' doesn't need plain, boring steam though. You'll have to place some additives into the steam and provide it at the correct pressure! To cap it off you'll have to do all of this inside a strict time limit!
Fire up that boiler!
