That's All Folks

hackedhead on 2009/09/04 17:46 of Our First Pyweek

Woot!

We got something turned in!

What an experience. No ideas til tuesday, then two and half hectic days of coding and badgering my artist! I got a lot completed though. More than I thought I would manage with only a lame space invaders clone as my warmup in pygame (from two years ago no less!). So. Fly fast, collect feathers and try to not blink!

I'm aware the game is tuned horribly and there's only one level (the "next level" option is a lie.)
We're considering revamping this entry for the pyggy awards though. Hopefully we will have a better timeframe than we did for pyweek9. I'm leaving today (Friday afternoon) for a camping trip and my artist/designer just started college on Monday (Day 2)! =P

Enjoy! I can't wait to judge!

well, this is like a lame, turbo-1942 with feathers =P

why not? even if the game gets rated under 1.0, or getting disqualified, why bother? at least this would make you feel some encouraging taste about pyweek.org , and wishing you to try a better game in the next competition! :) - i think the main idea is getting some fun on being part of this! :)

On windows, 2.5 and 2.6:

@alia and other windows users with the error 

start_time = self.timer()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
 
you can workaround by replacing the line 97 in tfi.py (the only .py file !!)
  if sys.platform == "win32":
 
by 
  if 0:#sys.platform == "win32":
 
@nitrofurano and others with the error:

self.meter.fill((200,100,100,100),rect=pygame.Rect(2,400-partial,12,5))
TypeError: fill() takes no keyword arguments
 
You have an old pygame version. Consider to upgrade to pygame 1.9.1
The game runs ok with pygame 1.9.1
