Post Challenge Update


Well it's been fun making and actually *finishing* a game in a week.  Of course the problem is that you can't add everything you'd like.. so..

Version 1.1
Version 1.1 win32 binary

(Or Download them From https://sites.google.com/site/tristanlasty/projects/pyweek13  )

Features: Resizeable Window, Zoom In/Out, and Slight camera angle when zoomed in. 

Also some bug fixes, and level bug fixes (Sorry if you got stuck on levels 4 or 5)

See README for complete list of changes, but they are the big ones.

The main issue I was having (and the decision to leave the camera zoomed in so far) was rendering performance.  Python sucks at nested 2D array loops.  (Or was it my algorithm? maybe)  Of course optimizing the rendering loop, and moving certain parts around, made things better, but when you have 1 or 2 hours left you don't have time!  (I was getting ~160 FPS zoomed in, and a shameful 15-25 FPS zoomed out, and my PC is a Gaming Machine)

I guess all that's left to say is thanks for the constructive feedback, and looking forward to next time!
