I've submitted the final version of my game, I've squashed all the bugs I could find and added as many features as I could.

The game can be downloaded here.

So, what can my game do?

• You can build a network of steam pipes with various pipe sections using and easy point and click interface.
• The steam 'flows' through the system in a seemingly ( Read more... )

I've had quite a successful morning of programming, the game is now playable as a game and everything apparently works!

Consequently I've uploaded the current version so if people could download it and try it out that would be marvellous. Get it here. It only requires Python and PyGame.

The biggest missing element is the instructions, which I ( Read more... )

Today's work consisted of drawing the remaining graphics, finalising the menu system and in game controls and completing the scoring system.

I'm going to get up fairly early tomorrow and hopefully begin ( Read more... )

Today seemed to be a much slower day. It's probably because instead of writing code from scratch I was tinkering with existing code. That's always tougher for me to do.

I redesigned my pipe sections and in the process I switched from GIMP to KolorPaint which is a much simpler editor and more suited to my task. I've now drawn all the pipes I think ( Read more... )

I finally managed to get started on my entry. Work has progress pretty well in the four and a half hours I've managed to put in today.

I spent the weekend in London which meant that I've only just found out the theme for the challenge. I'm now at work and it'll be at least 6 more hours before I can get home to start work on an entry to PyWeekFortunately the chosen theme was by far my favourite option so I've already got a well thought out plan for the game which should give me a ( Read more... )
