Progress on Wibbly Wobbly Bridge with Screenshot

In summary, spent some time reminding myself how PyGame works and getting something simple going.

In detail, the first thing to do was to get the bridge over some water. The bridge swings continually from side to side on the screen currently in a regular pattern. Next was to add the player - overhead view of a person (okay the red blob with a brown blob on top!). Player movement was added (keyboard only) and the motion of the bridge slides the 'Man' about too. Finally I added a crate which you really don't want to bump into.

So that's the game - a  shakey bridge where you collect treasure and avoid objects. Simples!

All this in a little time. Don't think it will win any award but hopeful something complete will come out of it :-) Looking ahead we need some more interesting objects and some treature. Could do with some better graphics. Any ideas for sources? Looking forward to mixing some music up for the game. Now sleep...
