Long, long day.  I'm quite happy with my progress though.  I've changed the player to a sprite and added obstructions to your paniced run from the goo.  The initial testing looked good:



Then I went and added a bunch of 'realistic' looking sprites.  Doesn't look too bad right now:

I think I need to back off on the obstructions a bit :)

I spent the better part of three hours trying to get:

1. The player (yellow circle for now) to collide correctly with object.  The collision detection by bounding rect works but the fine gained per pixel collide_mask() doesn't seem to work for me no matter what I do.  This is a problem when there are irregularly shaped obstructions.
2. A way to dynamically build the obstruction sprite classes.  I had a great plan to use __metaclass__s  but that didn't seem to work the way I wanted.  Then I tried class closures but it failed too because... 1:30 AM.  Finally, I decided that I only have a handful of obstructions, I'll just build each of them.
