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?
