could not pip install ratcave:

Sorry.

Working. Not finished.

Didn't run on my mac on any of the test images:

It ran, but all I saw was a black screen:

$ python main.py content/images/2-testlevel.png

I could not run it but by looking at the gif file, it looks very nice.

TypeError: main() missing 1 required positional argument: 'image_file'

designer says he did not finish

I've reported this error in the comments

I don't think GLSL4 is available in my video drivers (Intel graphics on Ubuntu 16.04):

Not a game, but an impressive simulation. I can't rate it very highly on account of that, but good work nonetheless.

It would be great if next time, you could put your files under a root directory in the zip file.

Game looks promising, but unfortunately was far from finished so couldn't play it

The fluid dynamics are great and I like how you can make your own images-worlds, but, unfortunately, it's not actually a game. It's still an impressive thing.

I was unable to install ratcave on windows. pip gave an error: " error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visu
alstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools" The provided link is dead and after installing ~10GB of Microsoft Visual Something or Other 2017 I was still getting the same error and I gave up.

I like the idea of the fluid simulation and the granularity of the simulation (pixel sized droplets?) but it runs - as depicted in xmzhang1's award thumbnail - with 4 sections of the screen showing differently shaded images.

I assume it's is something to do with the shader programs not displaying as intended, or it's how it is supposed to appear.

Either way the shader looks like a great resource but the program isn't really a Python Game.
