Kill the Tweets

All the tweets with #pyweek, #python and other hashtags are running away! destroy all the evil tweets to free the original tweet content!

Edit: Right now is easier to play the game but it still require to do some manual work:
  • fetch the code from https://github.com/fpischedda/yaff
  • install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
  • move to pyweek20 directory and run the main.py
  • hopefuly it will work :)
This game is a little complicated to run, hopefully I'll provide a better way to run it but until this happens you have to follow these steps:
- clone the repo at https://github.com/fpischedda/pywek20_tweet_feed and follow instructions, this project will provide the data for the game
- clone the repo https://github.com/fpischedda/yaff this contains the actual game code in pyweek20 directory
- run the data feed "daemon"
- run the game, press space to skip the splash screen, use A-S keys to move left or right, press W to jump


the game is unfinished as of now but at this point is the best I've done so far for a PyWeek :D

Beyond the Horizon

If you have any issues with sound (dialog or music), please try the wav version. You are discouraged from playing this game without sound.

The Alexandria array, a set of spaceborne data cores carrying the combined cultural wisdom of a faraway civilization, has gone missing. Their trajectory brought them right to the Charybdis anomaly, from which only data can escape. Someone willing to recover the lost data would have to be willing to become data themselves....

Dataroll

You are a data collecting robot driving through a data pipline. The data is represented as glowing orbs, collect as many as You can! Each data orb will allow you to travel the pipeline for a few more seconds. Orbs can also change your id (color), or priority (move speed). Beware the firewalls! If you are the same color as the firewall, you can bypass it. The counters at the top of the screen will show you how much data you have, what is the id of the next firewall and how much time there is left. Steering: W -faster S -slower A-left D -right Move the mouse to change the heading. You will need Panda3D to run this game ..unless I manage to pack something...

Data Snake

This is my game. I didn't have much time, so there are only 5 levels, but atleast it won't take up too much of your time when you play it. It was great fun and actually, it was only my 2nd complete game! Oh what fun! It uses Cocos2d and Pyglet. I created the game in around 24 hours and there are about 900 lines of code. If you have ANY problems. Please tell me! (not that I can do much about it) :P WARNING: In README.txt, I forgot to specify that I wrote my game in Python 2.7

igikikat gribrod

1-day entry, after it became clear the entry we started at the beginning was a DNF.

You have been marooned on an alien space station, and swindled into playing cards with the locals in the spaceport bar. Gather enough ``data'' to figure out the game and win at igikikat gribrod.

This is a source only entry and requires Python 2.7 and Pygame. Thanks for playing!

Not your data

  • NotYourData-20.zip — Fixed some leftovers from the skellington template. Also removed the generation of some debug images that were generated. Didn't change anything in the actual game.
  • gameowfication-20.zip — Final submission

You're a jumping ball and you've got a (data)base to protect.

But're not that defenseless... you shoot homing missiles.

There are data blocks scattered throughout the map which you need to collect, just follow the beacons. But don't get too distracted! The Leechers will try to rob your data, and you need to stop them.

When you collect 100% of the data blocks you complete the level.

However, if they manage to steal 50% of the data you've collected, you lose.

The Gödel Sentence

Story driven game set in a post apocalyptic future.

The world has been decimated. A rogue nation launched a bio-bomb into the upper atmosphere releasing a pathogen into the world's water supply. Within weeks cities were deserted, people dying within 3 days of infection.

You are in a small group of survivors. You must distribute the remaining water amongst your group. You don't have enough water for all to survive.

Use the data available to you to decide who gets water and who doesn't.

The game can be played only once, so choose wisely.

Requires python3 and pygame

There are two known issues, let me know if you find more

  • Some lines of dialog get skipped in second half of the game. The first line someone speaks can occasionally get missed. You can even see this in the video.
  • On my Linux box it takes about 10-20s to start the game. It doesn't do this on my OSX box, which is how I developed it. Hopefully it doesn't do it on Windows either!
