So it's started...
I must admit - the chosen theme forced us to completly rethink the idea of our game, but after having spent an hour or so yestarday night, we've come up with something that can be both nice graphically and playable.I stayed till 6AM trying to write some core code and I've ended up with a placeholder music playing and nice button code, with mouseover behaviour and such. I'm completly new to pygame and Python, but having some previous experience with plain SDL and C++, I'm able to make progress, albeit slowly...
I'm going to post a screenshot when our menu code is completed, till then!
