Hello everyone,

 

I am currently in a game programming class at my college. The class uses Python, more specifically the pygame library, to learn basic game development. I am not a Computer Science major though, I just learn how to program as a hobby. I hope you all enjoy the process of this project. The game is to be presented in three weeks and I only hope to have it done. It is not for a grade, but more of an assignment to show what you can do at the end of the class. If anyone wants to contribute in anyway to it, be it art, code, or ideas, post here or PM me. I am open to any suggestions.

 

Enjoy,

Rutsy

 

Things I currently need:

• A name
• More items
• Better sprites
• Fix collision detection
• Fix item spawning
• Create background
• Game theme
• etc.

 

Here are some screenshots of the project so far:

Interesting to see languages other than java being used. 

I use python a decent amount, but have never made an attempt at video game development in it. 

Typically I use it for networking programs (using sockets), and for programming device interaction on Raspberry pi for some side embedded system type projects. 

I am currently working on a packet sniffing program in it for a class.

 

Anyway, good luck. ^_^

Neat, I love Python and am interested to see how your project goes!

 

 

If it's really a simple 2d platformer you should be able to do it in less then 12 hours total.

Interesting thread, nice to see gamedev!

You are clearly more experienced then me! Thank you Mysteryy.

I will update the progress as I go, thank you for the interest.

12 hours probably for an experienced programmer. I am having a lot of problems with my collision statement, so I'm stuck here.

Thank you Czar, I hope to finish this game in time.

 

I appreciate everyone commenting.

Rutsy,

 

Good luck with development, Keep us updated

Reid,

 

Thanks for the support man. I really appreciate it. I usually only work on the game during the week so hopefully I will be able to show a small video or something of my playing the game at its current state.

 

Thank you,

Rutsy

Very nice.

I hate python myself, really don't like it :p

Are you writing the engine purely from scratch?

Anyhow, games are another perfect way to get into programming, enjoy

Botre,

 

I am using Python and the Pygame module to write my game from scratch. I will post the source to my code online. I personally like Java's syntax better, but Python is simple and mandatory for the game programming class that I am in. This project is due on Monday.
