March 2008 challenge: “Robot”

fydle - fydo and ldle - Har har, I messed up the example

Posted by fydo on 2008/04/10 16:26

For those of you who may be confused by the example in the "how to play" screen of our game, you have every right to be confused. Because it's wrong!
Here's how it's supposed to look:
Before:
- X - -
- X X -
- X X -
- - - -

After:
- X X -
X - - -
- X X -
- - - -

Sorry about that! Totally my fault. I apologize if this keeps you from enjoying (or understanding) our game!
Hooray for Pyweek!

10 Roboticists from Santa Fe - Hard to play?

Posted by JuanjoConti on 2008/04/10 03:15

Do you think Pedro's Robot Factory is hard to play? We'd like to know.

Playing with a touchpad is really hard, but with a regular mouse could be very fun. Give it a try, probably the first times you'll not complete the first level.

Some hints below:

How to Play

Help Pedro to manufacture his robots!

1. Left click to pick up/drop pieces.
2. Scrol Up/Scroll Down or A/D key to rotate the picked piece.
3. P key for pause.
4. F key for fullscreen.
5. Special pieces gives you bonus points!


Trivia:

1. You can also use A adn Z key to rotate the picked piece, or just the space bar.
2. There is an easter egg in level 2.
3. If you finish the three levels you'll be allowed to see the Happy Dance :)

NanoBot - NanoBot Controls...

Posted by pymike on 2008/04/10 03:05

Hey everyone,

I suddenly got kinda panicky that people would hate my game's control scheme 'cause it can be hard to shoot down passages. If you hold "x" you can rotate your player slower. All the controls are below.
  • Move: Up and down arrows
  • Rotate: Left and right arrows
  • Shoot: Spacebar or z
  • Rotate slowly: x or Left/Right Alt

Make Me - pyglet problems?

Posted by alex on 2008/04/09 23:30

Thanks to PyWeek, a small number of bugs in pyglet have been reported -- and promptly fixed.

If you wrote a game in pyglet this time round and ran into any problems: a bug, a workaround that was needed, something that wasn't documented correctly, something that you couldn't figure out... please let me know! I'm not (very) clairvoyant and don't hear about these problems unless you tell me :-)

Also, if you're playing someone's game that you think uses pyglet and are having some problems that are possibly platform-related, I'd be keen to learn about them too.

I understand that filing a bug report is an awful lot of trouble, so please feel free to just add your comments here.

Cheers!

HoleInTheHeadStudios-1.9 - Richard...

Posted by RB[0] on 2008/04/09 17:10

Just letting you know - the "last post" part of the site appears to be messed up again :(
ie - some posts are saying the last post was the first post - instead of the last post....

not sure why this would be - just letting you know ;)

Robot Underground - Robot Underground feedback

Posted by Martin on 2008/04/09 10:10

We're still working on Robot Underground, albeit at a much slower rate. We've got a to-do list for the next version, but what we'd really like is some feedback from unpaid testers *cough*, I mean players. What works, what doesn't, which bits are too easy, which bits are too hard, where does the story fail to make sense? These are the things we need to know in order to make the game better.

If you have any comments, please feel free to leave them here. Bug reports are also welcome, although we think we've fixed all the major bugs since the competition release.
