Two days of food, snacks and water are prepared, and I can rest until the theme announcement. For my game, I have an interactive audio visualization in mind that can be made quickly if I keep it simple!! I can commit at least the next 48 hours. For the code, I’ll be using Pygame and my Pygame framework. Although the framework is nowhere near stable, I’m posting a link to it because the rules require I share it. It’s public domain code and will remain so forever.

Here’s something to consider for your game. This was written on the board at school today for some reason.

Hi everybody  I finally completed my MiniLD 33: Doodles entry.  I used the doodles as enemies.  They steal your Game Boy when you leave it unattended, and to get it back, you have to navigate through 5 doodles’ scrolling attacks.  You are a volatile dot that moves sort of like the Asteroids ship but with burners in 8 directions.

If you touch the black area, you get sent to the beginning of the level.  Each level has a different style attack, and it gets harder to navigate as you go.  The goal is to make it through every attack and get the Game Boy.  A secondary goal is to do it as quickly as possible because there’s a fastest times list.

Some levels force you to go backwards at times, and the dot is hard to control if you aren’t able to make it stop completely.  In case you’re interested in playing, there is a Windows executable and a Linux/source package available (if you have an old version, these link to updated versions with a bug fix and a distance remaining feature).  To run the source, you’ll need to have Python, pygame, and numpy installed.  The source can also be used to install the game on Linux.

There is a homepage with the download links and a few more screenshots.

Hi everybody this will be my first time entering LD. I’d like to present first my doodle. The highlighted creatures are the ones I plan on actually using. The only one that isn’t an enemy is Dot, which is the player’s character.

I love doodling, so this is a delightful topic for me. I plan to use the actual drawings as sprites, maybe colored with colored pencil.

Now it’s past bedtime where I am, so I’ll start coding tomorrow. I’ll be using Pygame, and I’ll probably join the IRC channel later.

Bye for now!
