Ghetto VIking: The prophecy

Robot was created to love, now he brings only death. Control him on his crusade through the dozens of human-infested cities of the planet Earth, and use your chainsaw to free the inhabitants of their mortal burdens in this platform kill 'em up. A fun and non-innovative game for the whole family!

Sid the Grasshopper

Welcome to sid the Grasshopper! This is our third pyweek, and we're hoping to do more succesfully than last time.

Team: john, Rhodri

gather

Who can say how it happened? Stray gamma rays, broken neurotronics.... swizzled turbo encabulator? Suffice to say, one droid has gained intelligence and must now reprogram its brethren to destroy the evil overlords.

Gather your fellow workers from across the frozen desert and unite against the big tank like things that shoot rockets!

1st Player

Teach those crazy robots how to move!
Can you do it?

With less than 24hr in total (not including sleep), it has been another great py-2-days!
(more levels will be coming after the judging)

Please read the readme file first.

Release notes:
  • Linux user might need to add code for glut initialization. see the wiki.
  • Ommited from the readme file, PIL needs to be installed, too.
  • In the tutorial level, restarting does not initialize the victory conditions
    (the first cube doesn't come back).
    Do try to imagine it does come back every time.
    This bug won't affect mission1, as there is only one condition there.
  • If mission 1 (jumping) is too hard for you, try increasing the robot's motors' power (robospider.xml->joints->FMax) to 150
  • Thanks for all those who debugged my code and reported the above!

    RoboFusion

    Four robots must combine their powers and become the mega-robot-fusion man to stop the evil squid monster! Or something like that? Their specialty is the Robot Climber, the Anti-Gravity robot, the Fastest Robot Runner, and the Firepower robot. Each level they play is designed for the specific robot, and they are all trying to collect an ending gem or something at the end of their level through a boss? No idea if I'll have time to finish this, but should be an interesting journey! :D

    He robot!



    Once again, the robots turn against humans to rule the Earth. This time there is no Neo, no Spooner, the humans have no chance. This fight is not about survival, It is just about money because Viky will give you a buck for each human you kill, and you are too greedy and alcoholic to let them live... but be careful, do not shoot robots, Viki does not like it. Neither aliens, they are stronger than you think...

    The Ultimate World Domination Challenge: The Story of a Serial Killing Robot Dancer

    My first contribution to PyWeek. This is the project name, and it will probably change depending on the outcome of my code.

    Code, Graphics, Game Design and Story by Johey.

    Ok, I did not manage to finish this game. The final upload is just a proof of concept. I wanted to include more features, and some features are not completely ready. There are tons of bugs as well. The most annoying one is that the enemies don't come back when you restart. It just looks like so.

    Entrant: Johey

    Grey

    I didn't think I was going to finish, but I did! The game is called Grey, and it's about escaping from out-of-control self-replicating robots.

Infect other robots to access colored squares. WARNING always bear in mind infection strength: Rock > Scissors > Paper > Rock. Robot Models are shown only when robots are approached. Targets indicate whether robot is infectable or threatening. Threatening robots can detect and eliminate undesired presence.

    2 Pints of Zinglon's Ale

    My team didn't finish a game last pyweek so I'm trying it solo this time. At least when I fail I'll have no one but myself to blame!

    1) Don't suck
    2) Don't fail
    3) Drink more ale

    WISH ME LUCK. D':

    Sucker Punch

    A robotic vacuum cleaner beating the crap out of military vehicles. Hectigo's three-day personal project. I originally planned to do a group project with pekuja and JDruid this time around, but ended up working by myself.

    The game will have a home page at Hectigo.net

    Notice: The game uses pyglet for sounds, so it won't work on Linux unless you have avbin installed. Otherwise, pyglet is the only software dependency (besides Python, of course).

    Super Street Fighter 10 Turbo Edition

    (Forgot to edit this section after coming up with a real game)
    This is the short first fight in a game all about fighting iteration after iteration of a mean boss robot that just doesn't know how to die! It may be a little difficult, I balanced it for me. While I can beat it every time, it may take a while for others to acquire this skill.

    C.A.T.:B.O.T. - Cat Academy of Technology: Beyond ODS' Techdog

    The ODS (Omega Dog Society) was able to develop Techdog, a robot designed to serve humankind and bring the "human heart" nearer to dogs than to cats. This of course is a great threat for catkind as we know it! The CAT (Cat Academy of Technology) thus developed their own robot, called C.A.T.B.O.T..

    The developement of this robot is now complete and the first prototype is ready for initial tests. You were chosen as programmer to help C.A.T.B.O.T. developing it's own basic decision algorithm by monitoring how you are solving different tests.

    Will you succeed in creating a C.A.T.B.O.T. with capabilities beyond ODS' Techdogs'?

    Fount of Untapped Ideas

    In the beginning, there was space. Next came robots. Then, the robots lost all the F2 keys off their keyboards! Now, it's up to you to help them find their lost keys. Program them using the commands, although their memory banks can only hold so many commands. Go through the tutorial for information on how to play, and if you have any better idea of exactly what is happening in this game, go ahead and substitute your own reality.

    Robot Toast

    Robot Toast is a jumping puzzle game, and a rather challenging one at that! You play as a ninja robot, and your goal is to reach the command station at the end of each level.

    Ninjabot is fast an agile; he can run, jump, grab ledges, jump off walls, and in later levels he can even grapple and use rocketboots!

    Beating the game is no small feat, but definitely possible with the right reflexes. Can you make it to the end?

    Known Issues:
    sound not found (Wilhelm.ogg) - Linux only (I think) - fix: in lib/sprites.py line 473: Change Wilhelm.ogg to wilhelm.ogg
    no joystick found - very rare - fix: comment out lines 150-160 in lib/main.py
