April 2007 challenge: “The only way is up”

Dr Conrad B. Hart and Associates - PyOGRE

Posted by simonwittber on 2007/03/14 05:33

Anyone planning on using PyOGRE? I'd like to try it, has anyone got a prebuilt linux binary? It would save one lazy programmer (me) a lot of hassle!.

Metsuri - Pyweek is so much fun it's banned in Norway

Posted by pekuja on 2007/03/13 19:50

So yeah, sorry about that, Norwegians. I'm really getting pumped up for Pyweek right now. I feel really inspired, so I'm currently just hoping that the inspiration will last until April.
I would really like to do a short warmup compo at some point before the actual compo. 24 hours, a weekend... something like that. If you're interested in something like that, drop me a line in the comments or on IRC (nick pekuja).

Fluffy Menace - ADMIN: on late library releases

Posted by richard on 2007/03/09 22:04

OK, I guess I have to put my foot down here. The challenge rules state:
If you do have a library you must release it within a reasonable amount of time before the challenge starts so that others may have the opportunity of using the library
I've previously stated to people who've asked that in my books 1 month is the minimum "reasonable amount of time".

This amount of time is now to be included in the rules to make it absolutely clear. PyWeek is entirely predictable - it runs every 6 months, and is generally announced about 3 months out. That should be plenty of time for library devs to hawk their wares.

Fluffy Menace - "Free" game sprites for YOU to use if you like!

Posted by fydo on 2007/03/09 09:58

Hey guys,

Here are a bunch of game sprites that I've made in the past that you're totally allowed to use in the competition.

- my GalaxyMage page
- the Game Art section of my blog (includes assets from the previous Pyweek)

I'm very curious to see how these would be used in a new game. I imagine they would be most useful to a one-man-team entrant.
All I ask for in return is a little bit of credit in your README file. :) Thanks and enjoy!

mmorts - mmorts looking for team members

Posted by Treeform on 2007/03/07 19:04

Any one want to join to make an network strategy game?

I am kinda leaning on making "online risk like board game" engine with different games/mods which contain rules,maps,ai,and sounds. All in a networking package with ability to quickly make or cone other board games similar to risk,supremacy,axes and allies, or conquest of the empire.

On the exact details cant say yet because no theme has been chosen yet. But form bunnies, to wild cards, to terminators, board games can do them all

mmorts is just for fun, i think it is more like an "otg" but it does not matter...

Raqeeb(Pulled Out) - Important Question

Posted by Raqeeb on 2007/03/06 21:24

In the rules, it says that artwork made beforehand msut be placed on the web so the other people can use that too. Would I have to do that if I develop every thing in that one week?
