Being attacked by airplanes

Elite Bungie Chopper Squad

A Pyweek 7 entry by iDG United (irskep, sixthgear)

Drive a helicopter with a gunner suspended by a bungie cord through a warzone full of enemy helicopters, airplanes, and turrets.

KNOWN ISSUE: Game crashes when JIMMY (the final gunner is killed). Whoops.

SOLUTION: Become a master at the game, so that Jimmy never has to die. If you really must die, sacrifice the helicopter instead. Seriously, sorry about the error. It was a bug cause by a bug fix in the eleventh hour.

We are having some issues with py2app. Still tweaking setup.py. Final submission should be in in about 15 minutes. Update: We think everything is fixed, just double-checking.

Unforeseen dependencies

Apparently, our game requires AVbin to run in addition to Pyglet. You can get AVbin here.

Standalone Mac version added

The Mac .app listed as a separate download should not require anything extra to be installed now. Please contact me if this is not the case - I don't have a test machine available.

Update: One confirmed test. Should be good to go.

Thanks to all the judges for the kind words, and good suggestions. Sorry to all of the linux users who got segmentation faults. That was unexpected, and I will try to track down why that is happening and fix it up. This was my first Pyweek, and I had a lot of fun working on our entry, and playing all of your awesome games. I'll be back next time!
