My humble entry: Vector Chain Attack! (pygame source 191kb)
I think only pygame is needed to play the game. Will try to make a py2exe executable too. Samiljan made one for me, can be found here (6.9mb).
Move about with ASWD, and shoot with the mouse. Hit the blue chain bits to start a chain reaction, or the red bits to whittle down the chain little by little.
Lots for me to learn this time, as I did not have much experience with Python or pygame before the competition.
I spent quite a few hours making my first music track too, so I hope you enjoy the SNES style music (the full 13 seconds of it!). Had lots of fun making it with DrPetters Musagi tracker. Before you go mad, press M to make it stop.

Very fun! The graphics in-game are worse than the screenshot… The jpg artifact actually helps lol. Maybe if you could add a glow filter or something to the art.
Anyway, it’s a good start.
Fails on load for me. running ubuntu feisty, thinkpad t30 (x86)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “chainattack.py”, line 521, in
if __name__ == ‘__main__’: main()
File “chainattack.py”, line 497, in main
text = font.render(“Vector Chain Attack!”,0,(0,0,200))
pygame.error: SDL_ttf render failed
I have no idea what the problem is there.
Someone in this thread says there has been a problem on Ubuntu with the font rendering. It’s the default font, so it should be fine.
