Race for the Red Planet
- race-for-the-red-planet.zip — Source Distribution
- Race_for_the_Red_Planet_win.zip — Windows Binary
This is a space ship arcade racing game with gravity-based physics. You will need to accelerate to turn and to overcome gravity of the obstacles. Fly through the checkpoints while avoiding the obstacles to complete a race and then you can try to improve your time, racing against your personal best line/ghost. We're excited to hear how fast people are able to complete the maps!
There is a tutorial in game to introduce you to the controls as well.
W - Accelerate Forward
A - Strafe Left (mouse steering) or Turn Left (keyboard steering)
S - Backup
D - Strafe Right (mouse steering) or Turn Right (keyboard steering)
R - Respawn at the last completed checkpoint
Left Shift - Boost (while you have available boost)
Backspace - Open in-game menu/Pause
Up/Down arrows or W/S when in menu - Select menu item
Enter/Return when in menu - Accept menu selection or toggle selection
- pyglet 1.5+
- Pillow 9.2+ for faster image loading (optional)
To install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python run_game.py
Q: Game Crashes/Freezes
A: On some platforms (such as Linux and maybe Mac), pyglet's audio library crashes while using OpenAL. We've included a setting to be able to play the game with audio off. You should try to toggle the audio in the settings menu in-game to avoid audio causing crashes or freezes
Q: How do I use the menus
A: W/S and Up/Down arrows can change menu options. Enter/Return may be used to select an option or toggle a setting
Q: What controls are best
A: We really liked mouse controls, and found them much easier than keyboard A/D turning controls. However, if you're playing on a trackpad, you'll probably want to go into the settings in-game and change to A/D turning.
Q: I get motion sickness from the camera springiness, is there a solution to that?
A: Yes, we included a toggle for that in the settings. With camera spring turned off, your ship will be locked to the center of the screen.

tasty red bean simulator
- tasty-red-bean-simulator.zip — tasty red bean simulator
Set on a red planet similar to the planet Mars of our solar system, and having been recently exiled from your home planet, you work at a restaurant specializing in red bean desserts. As the planet is an arid place, though not without its own thriving ecosystem, these sweets are well-received among the locals. The locals are silvery creatures with tempers so singular that caution must always be advised when around them, especially when an incorrect order or an ill-advised work attitude could result in instant death.
Should you desire to try this arduous trial,be advis’d to think quick and to move quick,
choose the stove, beans, sugar, water, and click,
then if you prepar’d the correct order,
the silv’ry creatures exit with a smile.
Go behind the counter swiftly my friend,
to the kitchen where you will meet the end.
Composed all music, drew all art, and wrote all code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are the gardener of The Red Planet, the best source for homeplanet-grown space tomatoes!Your life is nice, you harvest space tomatoes all day and cut back plants to make sure new plants can sprout and flourish.
HOWEVER....
The devilish space flies are on the case again, and would just LOVE to steal your space tomatoes that you worked so hard to nourish and grow. So you better use your trusty fly swatter to get rid of them.
In summary, you have to:
- Harvest space tomatoes (click on them)
- Cut back old plants to let new tomatoes grow (click on the plant roots)
- Swat away any flies when they enter the red planet's orbit (click on them)
- Make sure you keep the whole planet in view (mouse wheel / touchpad scroll)
So yeah, scrolling and clicking, scrolling and clicking. Good luck, commander! Erm.. gardener. Space gardener? Good luck, in any case!

Dr. Farb's Huepocalypse
- huepocalypse-1.0.0.zip — Huepocalypse 1.0.0
Dr. Hugh Farb, you've *really* done it this time!
Your wavelength dimensional convolver has overloaded... breaking color itself! All the color is starting to drain out of the world, starting with the lower frequencies. I never thought I'd have a use for this word, but it's... a huepocalypse!
If you don't fix it soon, the entire planet will turn red! We think all color might drain out of the entire solar system--not that we'd notice, as we'll all be dead by then.
You're going to have to put on that silly silver color stabilization suit and run out and fix everything! Good thing you're such a gym rat--all that cardio and parkour is going to come in handy!
Dr. Farb's Huepocalypse was written by Larry Hastings and Dan Pope in September 2022 for the PyWeek 34 game programming contest.
Huepocalypse is written in Python 3. We used Python 3.10 during development, so we'll assume you're using that version. (Though it's possible other versions work fine.)
- Use Python to create a virtual environment called venv. On Mac/Linux, use python3.10 -m venv venv to create it. On Windows, use py -3 -m venv venv to create it.
- Activate the venv: source venv/bin/activate on Mac/Linux and venv/Scripts/activate.bat on Windows.
- Run pip install -r requirements.txt in that virtualenv/venv to install the dependencies.
Run main.py to play! Run python main.py on Mac/Linux, and py -3 main.py on Windows.
If you exit this venv, or attempt to run the game from a different shell, you'll need to "activate" the venv again in that instance of the shell. If you forget to activate, the game will complain with a
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wasabigeom'
error.
Huepocalypse is a platformer game. You control a scientist named Dr. Hugh Farb.
Your goal is to finish every level. Every goal has some objectives:
- You must collect all the floating gems. Just touch the floating gem to collect it! Some levels may not have any floating gems.
- * You must kill all the monsters. You must shoot a monster to kill it. Be careful, monsters will kill you! Some levels may not have any monsters.
Once you've collected all the floating gems and killed all the monsters, you're ready for departure--but you have to get to the departure point. This is a little door that opens when it's ready to send you to the next level.
You have infinite lives. So, you've got that going for you.
Movement features of your character:
- Run! In two deluxe directions--left and right!
- Not merely a single jump, not for you! You get a double jump!
- Wall slide and wall jump! Jumping from a wall slide restores your second jump.
- Coyote time! If you jump immediately after falling off a ledge, or pushing away from a wall, you'll be rewarded with getting your double jump back. But be quick--it's a very short window!
- And new for 2022: coyote time warp speed! If you're holding left or right when you execute a jump during "coyote time", you'll immediately warp to full speed in that direction!
Color
Color plays a big role in the Huepocalypse. There are six colors:
- red
- orange
- yellow
- green
- blue
- purple
Each of them can be toggled on and off in various ways. And when a color is turned off, all the platforms and walls of that color disappear! They only come back when you turn that color back on.
(Gray platforms are super safe--they never disappear on you.)
But it gets more complicated! When you turn on or off one of the three *secondary* colors, it also affects the two related *primary* colors:
- orange also affects red and yellow
- green also affects yellow and blue
- purple also affects blue and red
When you turn off orange, you turn off red, orange, and yellow! And when you turn orange back on, you turn red, orange, and yellow all back on at once!
(Though it doesn't go the other way--toggling red doesn't affect orange or purple.)
Oh, I almost forgot! There's one more wrinkle. The blue and purple colors are even more unstable than the rest. I'm afraid that you can only turn them off for short bursts. Then they pop back on all by themselves!
You'll see the following sorts of objects and terrain in levels:
- Platforms! They're all over the place. Not sure how they stay up like that.
- Pass-through platforms! These platforms are thinner than normal and a little see-through. You can jump up through them from below! Maybe it's old fashioned--I think this was first popularized nearly forty years ago--but sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
- Color switches! These are little colored pedestals that can turn a color on or off. You activate a color switch by touching it--or shooting it!
- Colored platforms! These are platforms that disappear when you turn a color off--and reappear when you turn the color back on again. But you better be careful--if you're inside a colored platform when it reappears, you'll die!
- Checkpoints! These little mushroom guys save your current your current location. If you die--egad!--you'll reappear at a checkpoint. Checkpoints look like mushrooms--I'm not sure why, that's how they came from the cfactory. The shiny red pressed-in red one is your current checkpoint, and all the other ones are more brown and tall and skinny. Checkpoints also remember the current state of all the color switches, so be sure to touch one pretty often!
- Jump restorers! Touch one of these green diamonds while in the air, and you'll get *both* your jumps back! Did someone say octuple-jump? I swear I heard someone say octuple-jump.
- Springboards! Just touch one of these little plungers, and you'll go shooting up into the air like a firework! Luckily for you, you don't also do the explody bit at the end. Or, at least, I don't think so.
- Signposts! Just walk by one of these signs to read it. It won't even slow you down! But maybe you should read it anyway. It just might have something interesting to say!
And there are even sometimes things for you to pick up, like:
- Gems! These floaty blue things have something to do with fixing the color problem. I'm really not sure--all I know is, you have to pick up all of them before you can leave the level. Just run up and touch one to collect it! You might need to jump a little.
- Color actuators! These look like colored tubes. They give you the ability to toggle a color whenever you want! Only lasts through the end of the level.
- A shiny new Whitegun! This is a gun that shoots the color white. Use it to whitewash Monsters out of existence. You can also shoot color switches! Pity you can't take it with you when you exit a level.
But it's not all good news. You'll also see:
- Monsters! Little brown frowning circles--with red eyes! You have to kill all of them before you can leave--and the only way is by shooting them. But be careful, if you touch one it'll kill you!
- Spikes! If you fall on them you die! Well, there's one exception: if you jump up through spikes from below, you'll pass through them safely!
Oh, I almost forgot! And we've saved the best for last. One last bit of terrain:
- Every level has one gen-u-ine patented departure point! Once you've killed all the monsters and picked up all the gems, the departure point will become active! Just enter the little door to be whisked away, off to your next adventure.
Controls
Platforming controls:
- A or Left arrow to run left.
- D or Right arrow to run right.
- Space to jump.
- Enter to shoot.
Number keys toggle a color, if you've picked up the correct color actuator:
- 1 to toggle red.
- 2 to toggle orange.
- 3 to toggle yellow.
- 4 to toggle green.
- 5 to toggle blue.
- 6 to toggle purple.
And you can use Ctrl-Q to quit at any time.
If you want to skip the tutorial and just play the challenge levels, run the game with the -c or --challenge flags:
python main.py -c
And if you want to jump to a particular level, just specify the unique part of the level's filename. All the level files are
data/level_*.tmx
So, to jump straight to "Go Hunting", you'd run
% python3 main.py go_hunting
Have fun! Now go save the world already!

Ares Firma
- ares-firma-v1.tgz — Final entry v1
The young planet Mars is covered with oceans. Use solar radiation to boil them off. Do it quick, before life evolves and takes over! Check out the README for full controls and options.
There are 5 quick stages to introduce the mechanics, then a challenge stage, and a final optional bonus stage that's a little more fast-paced. The goal in each stage is to reduce ocean cover below 1%. There's no save game, but see the README to skip between stages as desired.
Completing the bonus stage doesn't get you anything but a score. Can you get lower than 1000 millionyears?
I recommend at least finishing the tutorial and trying the Challenge stage before rating the game. This should take about 5 minutes of gameplay.
How it fits the theme: This game depicts the story of how Mars became the red planet.
