I've been working away with bash to create this file that, when run will prompt you whether you would like to continue or not, if you say c then it will ask you for the name of the game you wish to run, it will go into the game folder, and run run_game.py, then it will cycle again.

Richard this would make things easier for people if the name of the folder was only 1 word.

You need to put all the game folders into a folder called pyweek.

You can download it here
Copy it into a text file and make it executable.

skellington-1.8.tar.gz

Skellington 1.8 now has support for eggs which are not zip safe, such as PGU and Pygame!

Also in 1.8, support for versions of the same egg for each platform. Ie you can distribute mac, linux and win32 builds of one egg (eg the pygame egg), which will make it easier for players to run your game.

PGU and a Linux build of Pygame have now been eggified, and are available here: http://code.google.com/p/python-game-kit/wiki/PackageList

I'm building a collection of binary eggs for python game development. I'm aiming to get binaries for the 3 major platforms available for Python2.5.

You can drop these eggs straight into the eggs folder of Skellington 1.7 and they become available to your game.

This is part of an ongoing effort to make binary distributions easier... testers and help appreciated!

hooray for pyweek!

Now I can do nothing except think of mad game ideas for the next month! Fingers crossed for a good theme...

Good luck to everyone, and hoping for a fine crop of silliness this year.

Excellent, I love pyweeks. I'm looking forward to it, maybe this time I'll do something that has at least some polish, balance and sounds. :)

Would I be aloud to use PHP for my game...just to help with the networking mysql etc.

PHP would make my life easier, but, I managed without it last time, so I would probably manage again.
