Great Start to a Challenge
Zombie Keepout
Run around and keep the zombies out of your house. You have a few different levels with different entrances. The zombies just want your home, not your brains, so they don't hurt you. You can use traps or you melee attacks to kill them.

Diary Entries
First few days.

Needless to say, Day 1 I did nothing, it was Sunday and I needed the rest. Day 2 I spent some time looking for libraries to use to help me with Tiled maps and writing out some basic bones for pygame. I planned heavily this day as well. I decided on a theme of protecting your home from zombies, I found some free game art from opengameart.org. I have the basic UI and look for it. It will be a classic arcade style, I am pulling difficulty inspiration from a Star Wars Arcade game.
Day 3 I found an easier library to use for loading Tiled maps. I found it thanks to the pyllet town project by renfredxh on github, he hasn't touched it in a year. Definitely worked wonders in the last half hour (with slight modifications) compared with the at least three I spent on other libraries. The results so far are stunning, the main menu is probably the last thing I do.
Here is my Basic Idea.
Zombie Limitations
- Can'tclimb fences
- Can't eat you
- They just want your home
- They aren't very fast, but can come in hordes
- Melee attack
- Must defend home
- Can place traps/weapons
- Only one person (main character)
- Can't climb fences
