I really appreciate the comments and awards - so far PyWeek has been a really great experience!

Would certainly have liked to be more social but it's quite tiring work!


Today was less spectacular development so tomorrow's final push should clean things up nicely...

PyWeek 26 Complete

The final game is definitely an example of code-first think-later but it works every time I run it so I can only hope that counts for something.

Insanely tired now but here's a software-captured (read: lots of dropped frames) gameplay video anyway:

Looking forward to trying some of the other entries (and not so much to seeing how bad my code is in comparison)

Running Time Chicken

Haven't been able to test the game on macOS, Linux, or different machines so I can only hope the experience has been smooth.


I updated the description with some vague clues for running, please let me know if there are any issues.

You used KUKAREKU. It was not very effective.

Sorry to anyone who played Time Chicken and was frustrated that the "Kukareku" spell didn't work.


In the last 10 minutes before submission (as all good game-breaking stories start) I changed the image "Assets\Images\spell3.png" to be a 1x1px image so it would be invisible.

Foolish. It's too small for the spell to successfully hit anything.

Simply change the image to anything bigger than 1x1px and it will work (e.g. copy "Assets\Images\rock.png" and rename it "Assets\Images\spell3.png" or ideally replace "Assets\Images\spell3.png" with a 100x100px transparent image)


Doesn't ruin the whole game but kukareku (a high-damage, close range attack) is useless without a patch.


Thanks all!
