PyWeek - MegaVertex - feedback

I felt like the game was too slow and too simple. Also, the paper aeroplane seemed to behave in weird ways sometimes. I would had also liked to have some kind of map or maybe an arrow pointing at the next checkpoint.

Case-sensitivity errors on linux.

I couldn't get this game to run on Linux. First the file Desktop1.jpg was accessed but the file in the package said Desktop1.JPG. Okay, that was easily fixed. Then however I got the following error:

I haven't figured out what to do here, unfortunately.

Had issues getting pgu to work. Sorry :/

After struggling to find out why this was not working, and finally figuring out that the problem was that in the themes/newprofile you used "..\" instead of "../" (making this game sure to not work on any linux computer), the game finally ran without crashing. Unfortunately, all I get is a black screen, and since it is forced to be fullscreen I can find no way to quit. I had to manually kill it. bleh. Also, you made NO comment posts whatsoever, so the only place people can give you feedback is when they review. You are not going to get a lot of good reviews, whereas if you had opened up a dialog, it could be possible for you to help people get the game to run.

Well, I like the style of the in-game-GUI, and the 3D game engine seems to be working ok, but besides that, there's not much good in the game. It's quite unfinished, with only one race and very unpolished main menu. Oh, and you could include PGU next time if you use it - installing not-so-common packages is always extra hassle.

Needs some finishing touches.

Nice graphics but the gameplay is a little flat. Oh, and I had to tweak a lot of things to get it working under linux.

wouldn't import stuff, like...<BR>
LoadProfiles not in profiles<BR>
I looked and its there, not sure what the beef is...

I could not get this entree to work with all the required dependencies installed.

Seems to be a problem with PyOpenGL:
My Specs: Windows XP, Python 2.4, PyOpenGl 3.0.0a6

If you listed the versions you used, I could get around it using easy_install, but as it is, no luck guessing.

Took a while to get running, and the version I downloaded just had a single level, which wasn't terribly fun.

It looks like it could become fun with some more levels and some more work.

Another OpenGL error.

I guess you had a tight deadline (REMOVE THIS FROM THE FINAL SUBMISSION < - from the readme :D)

I had to fix the Desktop*.JPG to Desktop*.jpg to start the game. But now if I click RACE in the menu I get this error

could not run the game.

I was looking forward to this one from that screenshot. Unfortunately there's all sorts of problems running it under Linux because of filename case problems.

(MacOSX 10.4, Python 2.5)

It tries to load a font with backslashes in the pathname.

I fixed that, but then it crashes on attempting to start a level:

Too bad there was only one, trivial race. Otherwise it could've been more interesting.

Can't get it to work. I'm fairly certain I have all the dependencies listed. Traceback (most
