It's my first time here and I have one goal in mind, to make something that hopefully works;)

Day 1 - Got To Get Moving....

I can't believe there's only 5 days left in the challenge, yikes!


It's almost the end of the day here and I'm definitely behind schedule:-)  Alright, in the next hour, I'll need to make sure I get the proper libraries installed on my laptop and reread the help page (https://pyweek.org/static/help.html).

As for the theme, "The Lesser of Two Evils,"  I'm thinking about possibility using 2 "evil" characters in well known console games challenging one another.  Haven't yet got the game blueprint drafted, but I'll need to get a draft completed my tasks above.

Good luck to all teams and individuals involved in this contest!

Day 2 and 3

Day 2 and 3 - It's been interesting...  Seems like Pygame doesn't quite work well for my Mac.  I installed Pygame, Python 2.9 on my Mac running El Capitan (v10.11.6), doesn't seem to work properly.  Imported the pygame module, however it errors with "no matching architecture in universal wrapper".  Yikes, not good guys/gals.  My backup is to try installing it with another machine with a different OS.


In the meantime, I've got a rough sketch of my ideal for the game.  It's not easy developing a game.  I'll try to see if I can get Pygame installed and working on my other machine.  Otherwise, I think I may be screwed.

I'm liking all what I've seen from the other screenshots:)  Great job guys/gals!

Day 4 and 5....

It's been pretty busy this week (non pygame challenge).  But I still have hope that I'll get something working before the challenge ends.  It's the halfway through the 3rd quarter, I'm hopeful that a few touch downs is near by.  


Keep clam and code:)

Day 8 - A Reflection...

What can I say, even though I didn't fully complete my game, it's been a great experience participating in the PyWeek challenge.  I did get a good introduction to game development and knowing how difficult and a fun experience game development is.


Hopefully, I'll get a chance to put more time in the game and upload a working, functional game before the judging process ends.  I actually look forward on trying and testing out the other games.
