Good news and bad news. The bad news is that I got at best 55% on my statistics test yesterday. The good news is that I have all kinds of new stuff done for PyWeek. I think I have my priorities in the right place :-)

• 3:20am: more advanced collision detection which makes walls work
• 4:18am: ramps work
• 4:33am: text boxes work. (that was dead simple, thanks to pyglet!)
• 5:40am: belly flops work.
• 6:16am: ladders work
• 6:52am: decorations work; added house decoration
• 7:18am: add ladder animation
• 8:15am: add monster animations
• 8:51am: added monster who throws you
• 9:23am: explosions will break breakable stuff
• 9:39am: you can explode monsters
• 9:54am: add some tiles to make the level a little nicer
• 11:33am: implement buttons and bridges. level 1 works completely
• 12:21am: support reverse direction for monsters

I talked to my friend Tyler and he wants to make the music for the game, if only he can whip his computing situation into shape in time. I'm crossing my fingers.

I've formulated a plan for the rest of the days I have left:

Day 5:

• sound effects
• HUD
• menu system and title screen
• game over

Day 6:

• implement as many gameplay ideas as possible
• create as many levels as possible exploring those concepts
• bg music if it doesn't work out with tyler

Day 7:

• Dinner with family
• Party with friends
• Test on Mac and Windows and smooth out any glitches/bugs/problems with the experience.
• bug fixing only. no new features
