Reflector Game (Thing-a-ma-jing)

Downloads are at the end of this post.

Obvious there's no name since it was pretty much left dry. The game I was working on over the semester is here for download. I've never got any artwork or levels and I missed the day to present it to the club due to my food poisoning illness. So it's here. :)

Since this game utilizes text files for levels, you can create your own levels (and I encourage you to do so) which is pretty important since I don't really have that many levels. Some documentation on creating levels/map-packs are outlined here.

I assure you things aren't quite as clean as I like it, and no comments since I was the only person managing the source code (plus, I had limited time).

For source code grabbers, you should also note that this depends on:

  • Python 2.5+
  • Panda 1.5.3+ (I've included panda into my vanilla python installation in windows)
  • PyYAML 3+ for level parsing
  • upx (optional) for compressing libpanda.dll for distribution
  • py2exe to build the executable

A simple google search will easily return the dependencies. And now some links:

Aidos! And Merry Christmas (or whatever other religious beliefs you follow).

Upgrade

I've just updated to wordpress 2.6 with a very nice admin interface revamp. Definitely cool. I've still got finals to deal with unfortunately. :(

Python 3(000) released!

As of today, Python 3k was released to the public. The changes make to the language make it incompatible with older 2.x versions of python. I wonder how fast/slow porting existing python libraries will take.

Although on thing I'm slightly annoyed is the deprecation of % for the string formatting. It seams a bit more verbose to do "%s blah %s" % (var1, var2) as "%s blah %s".format(var1, var2), but whatever. The clarity is better for the latter.

Any opinions on py3k?
