March 2008 challenge: “Robot”

Robot Underground - Action RPGs for all

Posted by Chard on 2008/04/06 00:05

Our game is submitted. By MD5 but you'll be seeing it before long. But just to whet your appetites here's our complete feature list (and not a single word of a lie). Our game:

  • Is an originally presented action RPG.
  • Sports an array of 21 player weapons and 7 weapons only usable by enemies, couple with extensive modding system for endless variety
  • Has approximately 40 types of enemy and 10 varied boss fights
  • Provides an estimated 2-3 hours of gameplay including an extensive storyline (not including the optional challenge dungeon), supported by a powerful and flexible scripting system
  • Is presented in 100% anti-aliased scalable vector graphics
  • Implements saving and loading.
  • Has an interactive tutorial!
  • Has procedurally generated dungeon design.

We even found time to script multiple endings! Seriously, this has been a good PyWeek. We've been working down to the minute to get this all together, personally I really wanted to go back and make sure the interface wasn't going to break. I know there were lots of features and classic RPG elements we wanted to try and implement but didn't get round to. The entire optional challenge dungeon mentioned above, just to give you an example, was implemented in the last few hours.

We're not certain its bug free, so we recommend a saving policy. But when you play, I know you'll agree quite how clean and well paced this is. We are very pleased with our results, now we get to play it!

Shawnee State Army of Hair - FIle Submition, incomplete, but much progress.

Posted by sam_bushman on 2008/04/06 00:00

For our first time out, I am surprised at how much we got done! We plan on working on this project more and releasing a more complete version.
We came up with 2 MD5 hashes, so here are both!
via python script: d6fbbb1ece45e3eda62eeb65b68932cf
via md5summer: 2dff113c97e53540ecbb90fc8f80cb09
note: we are utterly confused as to how to submit our entry. Here is a link to a copy that we have submitted: Download Entry
please keep in mind that this is a VERY incomplete version. This week was fun, and we can't wait to attempt the challenge again next time!

Robot Toast - Question on MD5s

Posted by Tresch on 2008/04/05 23:57

We're not too familiar with the whole MD5 thing, but if we run the command multiple times on the same file, we get a different string each time. Conversely, we ran the command on two DIFFERENT versions of the file (after changing a filename inside the zip) and got the same key. This has me a bit worried. Can anyone enlighten us?

Bot Builder 2000 - Bad news for final upload

Posted by bjorn on 2008/04/05 23:57

Well, I made a hash of my final final upload (c50b973f867877127d1de3a8383879a8) and tried to upload that but only got a message that there had been an erroro and the administrator had been notified. Now I can't upload anything though the time is not quite up :(
