Let the fun begin

Okay, so let me first say that this is my first PyWeek. I saw this challenge either in Hacker News or Slashdot and thought it would be a good idea to challenge myself. I know python, but I don't know pyGame or any other of the aforementioned game libraries. I figured a week is a fair amount of time to learn! I'm really just curious how much I can accomplish. Wish me luck!

Great, now that I have that out of the way...

Mutate Game (or atleast attempt to)
Name: as of now, null, but Dr. Laughing's Adventures is slowly growing on me
Plot: Dr. Laughing is a scientist that has created this serum that "mutates" things. The mutation can be good or bad. Dr. Laughing needs to use this serum to navigate through the world.
Objective: Dr. Laughing's objective is to clear each screen. There will be obstacles along the way, but "mutating" them can either help or hurt you. 
 
Yea, I'm trying to keep things simple, but "simple" is turning out to be more difficult at every new idea I have... I have more ideas still flowing... I'll edit this as they come I suppose. 

Cheers all!

Same situation here! Playing with new libraries can be fun, especially in python.

My goal for this week is to get something which is, no matter how terrible, at least playable to some degree.

Good luck to you!

Good luck, the idea sounds pretty cool. It's true that even very simple things can hide a lot of hard work behind them, so when in doubt, make it even simpler than you think you need to.
