I was not at home until now – BUT NOW I AM.
I already have an idea, will start sketching things up soon – hope to have first screen shots in an hour or two…

Good luck to everyone participating!

Oh well my weekend plans were devastated by personal issues but in the last 6 hours I was able to put together a game, a little bit different from my original idea, that really sucks.

have fun shooting some monsters and defending the island !

This isn’t an official entry, since it’s way too late. You can see what I was trying to achieve and why I missed the deadline here and here. I thought I’d post what I’d made, just for fun. This is the product of about two laptop battery charges (~2.5 hours), and one hour to polish, fix the odd bug and package .. so in total it’s about a ~6 hour game made using Processing.org. The game takes 1 min to play, and I’d say most people will be able to beat it on their first or second try.

Chances are, everyone is far too busy judging the record number of on-time entries this year .. but if you are curious, you can see the details and play the game here.

As per my earlier post, here is the link to the hastily created TowerAssault0, which has absolutely nothing in common with my original plan apart from the name….

Look at the .fla at your own peril. This was written between the hours of 3:00am and 4:30am.

I know this is past the deadline and what I have is nowhere near complete, but I thought I’d share it anyhow.  I was hoping to have had at least 20 of the 48 hours available, but this turned out to be a rather busy weekend so I only got to work 12 hours on it.  With that said, however, what I do have is pretty decent (though the code is quite messy.)

It wasn’t originally going to be a simplified version of Mario.  I thought if I got the Mario part working the rest of it would be a cinch, since the rest of the game would only involve small modifications to the Mario code … Maybe if I had more time.

It requires only Python and Pygame.  I included a batch file and a shell script to help people run it, but if that doesn’t work for you just go into the ‘lib’ folder and have Python run ‘main.py’.

Mario can run, jump, collect coins, hit question blocks, break bricks, stomp on goombas, and die.  The controls are ‘left’ and ‘right’ to run and ‘x’ to jump.  The level has one really difficult part, but it doesn’t really matter because there is no real way of completing it.

Have fun and enjoy it!
