Seems I made fifth place for single entries in this pyweek, which is pretty good for me, since I just take those compos as excuse to work on games and don’t really try to achieve scores Actually, I’m tied with fourth place, fun category is 3.1 for both, but mine has less innovation but more production. In fact, surprisingly, I won the production category (no other solo entry even reach 4). Guess rendered graphics as opposed to pixel art does count a bit, and my 8 seconds of looping music were quite well received in the comments (except for the fact that it starts getting annoying after 8 seconds :P). Also, unlike my previous pyweek, 100% could play this one. What a difference not using any OpenGL extensions makes.

As for Speedhack which I also participated in this month, I made a 3D game, trying to implement the rules - especially the dialog rule was hard (and I didn’t really get to the friction and influence rules much). Also, 48 hours aren’t enough to make Halo 3, but I think I got pretty close

I signed up for pyweek. The theme is “twisted”. Most of my games naturally should fit that theme, so I went to write Allefant5. It aims to be a standard platformer. The twist is, levels are twisted around - that is, everything is in polar coordinates. And when you walk along in a direction, eventually you will end up where you started.

Now, let’s see how much of that I’ll actually be able to pull off. I wrote the base of the engine on Sunday, and basically have Saturday for level design and testing. During the week I made some artwork and sounds in the evenings.
