Another DNF

Well, this is the third time I've failed to complete a PyWeek game, and I've only myself to blame.

I really need to learn the lesson of starting with a minimal, playable core game and expanding on it, rather than assuming I'll have time for finishing features X,Y, and Z and then finding at the end of the week that my game isn't playable because Z is only half-done.

Next time I'll plan things out better.

try to target the deadline to wednesday, not friday or saturday - try to have the game minimally working to be uploaded, and reserve the second part of the week for feature improvements and bug fixes - this will provide you a more relaxing development week on Pyweek... - i uploaded mine one at monday, too simple game i hadn't that much to improve, anyway...
