Physics objects working, courtesy of the awesome Chipmunk library. You can’t see it in the screenshot, but the level spawns about halfway up the screen, each piece just in time before you reach it, and falls down to the bottom.
Gameplay? I said I had physics — you want gameplay, too? Jeesh.
Bleh, homework, yet yay, other things coming up to compensate for my lack of a finished Mini-LD #3 entry. Look forward to…
And also, going back through things, Towlr is awesome. I emailed it to my friends. Buahahaha!
I gave up on making it load files, and in the first place it was never much of a tool. So, yeah. I gave up. Maybe I’ll release my modifications to the Chipmunk Demos, or something.
On an unrelated note, I self-congratulaified myself.
I’ve named my “tool” ChipmunkLand!
It can’t load files yet, but it does say “Usage: … filename” if you don’t give it a command line argument. I’m sticking to command line arguments because I’ve never made a usable GUI before. I’m using OpenGL and Glut so I can just use the drawing code from the Chipmunk Demos.
Hello! This is a competition entry. It is a simple game where you shoot cannonballs at a tower. Eventually, the tower will succumb. You get more points for letting blocks hit the ground before the top of the tower does.
Hold SPACE to power up the cannon, release to fire. Up and down changes the angle. That’s it!
Requires pyglet/pymunk. Doesn’t run too fast. All those quads to draw, and all.
Well, I think I’m done… it’s rather a lot more minimal than I’d hoped, not been feeling too well this weekend, so decided to stop early. I’d hoped to make better use of Chipmunk and put in ropes/chains and other fun stuff, and some hazards - but kept getting too distracted playing it / building levels (it’s got a built-in level editor, if you press E in-game, but it’s a bit arkward to use, and I didn’t get round to writing any instructions…)
Final(ish) version is here…

Wow, “finished” the game with more than an hour left. Very simple gameplay, but at least playable in a couple of minutes (I hope!). Note: This version require that you have python and pyglet installed. Read the readme.txt! I will hopefully be able to make a py2ex’d version tomorrow.
The game can be downloaded here: Snowroller download (2nd try)
edit: Papper found a last minute bug that Ive fixed (within the time.) Now it is the final version (really!).
