Ok, this has really been bugging me for ages, how do you get text in pygame?

|Gunboy - Decided on an idea, and made one screenshot.

I've been thinking of making a game where you must jump onto pipes, and dodge bullets, or get shields to send the bullets back to the enemy. Sounds easy, maybe if I have more time I'll add in a level editor.

|Gunboy - Nice theme, but what to do...

Posted by john on 2007/04/01 06:25

I like the theme, I was hoping underneath the radar, but anyway, how about climbing a wall dodging bullets that are being continuasly shot at you?

Century of the Fruitbat Moving Picture Publishing Company - with 1000 elephants - The only way... is UP!

Posted by saluk on 2007/04/01 05:52

When the dark heart of betrayal strikes you in your gut...

When everything you know has been turned on its head, making you spin into a dizzy nightmarish trance of despair...

When everyone you care for kicks you to the curb like a world-class soccer player going for the winning goal...

This, is when you know you've hit rock bottom. Your one solace is the realization that it can't possibly get any worse. And so you steel yourself against all odds and resign to survive the ordeal. Because you know that at this point, the only way is up!



Upward Mobility - coming next sunday...

I'm a horrible artist, but I'll have to start the preliminary art in this game first...

delta-v - They go up...

Posted by alex on 2007/04/01 02:25

Lunch time. Also, time to think of what the gameplay will be. I figured anything upwards-like will need stairs -- lots of stairs.
