Third day: impossible

I can't get any graphics that look like decent enough. I'm trying to adapt some CC-BY sprites, but still... I'm pretty demotivated right now.

I've been programming a menu, a help screen and the general screen flow (menu -> play -> menu -> quit; etc).



I'm using sprite fonts, generating them from TTF with something like this and then using some Gimp to prettify them (kind of).

I'm loading the keyboard configuration from a JSON file, so it's possible to change the controls.

But anyway, this is useless because there's no game at the moment. I'll keep working with the character sprites, and then I'll decide if I keep going on...

Update: uh, eh, something...



Some important bits missing, but... enough for the third day!

Don't let us know what you were going for, and make cool little shapes that go around the awesome background you already made = win :)

JSON? What programming language are you using? :)

saluk on 2011/09/13 22:13:

json = python dict :) Well almost. A bit better than using eval(), or importing a random python file.

saluk: way better! :)

It's like mapping a XML into a dict, but without the XML hassle ;)

But then you either have to parse it with a library or eval() it. Or is there support for it in the standard library? Oh god, there is! Awesome! :)

I am particularly fond of the ConfigParser module, but I'll add the json module to my "look into after pyweek" list
