Day 8 - Sounds, Tutorial, Bug Fixes, Finished!

I'm done, finally. I've gotten up at 4 AM every morning (except for yesterday, which I got up at 3:30, and today I got up at 3AM). I'm so exhausted, I'm ready for a good nap.

But, I'm still going to list the changes I made today, because that's what I've been doing all week, so that's how I'm going to finish the Week.

Another thing I added is a Tutorial. It's on level 1, and it basically just guides you through getting the flow of Traffic going and some other helpful tips.

I also added a way to make the game more challenging. I messed around with the unhappiness settings for a bit until I got a System that stopped the timer [in some modes] if you had too many angry cars that were stopped. This was to prevent "cheating" by not moving any of the cars to beat a Level or to set a Highscore, so I thought I might as well do it. There's also a notification that pops up when this happens saying that the Timer has stopped, and is closeable [until you make more cars angry] and will go away once the flow of traffic is restored.

I spent a good 5 hours debugging today. I playtested every little aspect of the game, in Python 2, in Python 3, and in Windows (Now you know why it took 5 hours). I recompiled my code so many times I can't recall the exact number of how many times I did it. But, I did get 98% of the bugs out for a good quality entry. I'll also try to get a OS X Build out some time later, but there are no guarantees on that.

It was a great PyWeek, and I'll see you all on November 11.
