First an introduction: We are a two man team that use Python professionally. This is our first time to enter PyWeek.

We brainstormed last night and came up with an idea for a platform game with a commando on a suicide mission, a one way trip. Not so original but making a platformer should at least be fun.

We spent the day harvesting free sprites from the internet and writing some of the core engine code.

We added a few more sprites and have a character that can walk and jump on a basic level. A collision layer is working to prevent the character from walking through walls. A screenshot has been uploaded showing the character on the ground. Our repository is located at https://bitbucket.org/DavidEdwards/pyweek15.

More artwork has been added, including transition sprites that lead into the gameplay. The hero will parachute out of an airplane and fall into the level. Gameplay currently consists of standing, running, and jumping. Our next priority is to implement the enemy classes.
