Your tower has been invaded by horrible humans. Devour all of them to be freed from the menace. But stay out of their sight...

Top down view, all enemies have a marked field of view (flashlight style). Get close enough, and you can devour a human.

Should be interesting...

It's now 2h 15m in to the challenge and I've actually got a solid idea for my game, which is a nice change :)

Basically, you're a hungry rabbit and you're trying to eat food from a farm. The farmer is (understandably) trying to stop you from doing so.

Your only defense against the farmer is to dig and hide. You can't hide too long though, or your hunger will take over!

I'm gobsmacked. This is about the least likely theme I would have expected to win.

I had great ideas for some of the other themes, which sadly must be assigned to the bin. Now I'll have to spend precious coding time coming up with another idea. Not an auspicious start to the week...

Wow. I honestly wasn't expecting this theme to win. Sawn in half was my favorite. This means that I don't really have any concrete ideas for a game at this point. Maybe something to do with stealth... watch out for Metal Gear Solid Python! ;-)

Before I start, I need some libraries, otherwise I won't get too far. Question is, what to use? I'm not familiar with any Python games / graphics libraries, so I'm going to have to play safe. Here's what I've installed so far.

• PyGame
• PyOpenGL
• Euclid

Needless to say, all of these are listed on the Python Game Libraries Page. I've played a little with PyGame before, have some familiarity with OpenGL, albeit using other languages, and Euclid looks like it will stop me from reinventing the wheels of vectors and matrices.

Just in time for pyweek I've finished this very quick and very dirty vector graphics editor. You can find it here: http://mccormick.cx/dev/puffer-release.tar.gz It saves polygons in a datastructure which can be traversed to get the arguments for pygame.Draw.polygon() calls. Well it's 5am here so it's time for bed. Good luck everyone!

We did a 3 hour prechallenge for pyweek! This is my entry:

have fun!

Last PyWeek, I did nothing. Almost anything will be an improvement that.

well, this is kind of a late release. but i just realized that pyweek is about to start!

this is primarily a bugfix release. any existing code you have should now work a bit better. some minor changes, but you can read about those in the CHANGES.txt ..

Is there a specific version of Python that entries should be compatible with, or does it not matter? (I have 2.4 and 2.5 on my system at the moment.)
